Join Aprio's Technology Client Accounting & Advisory Services (CAAS) team and help our fast-growing technology and e-commerce clients Account for Anything. Aprio is a progressive, fast-growing firm seeking a dynamic Manager to support complex advisory engagements, deliver strategic finance solutions, and help build scalable capabilities across the Technology CAAS practice.
This role is designed for a builder, problem solver, and strategic finance professional who thrives in a dynamic advisory environment. The Manager will work across a broad range of client engagements, including FP&A, financial modeling, cash flow forecasting, board reporting, accounting transformation, revenue recognition, transaction readiness, business process improvement, and other high-impact advisory initiatives. This individual will help clients solve complex financial and operational challenges while developing the tools, templates, frameworks, and delivery methodologies that enable the practice to scale.
In addition to supporting strategic finance and advisory work, the Manager will contribute to Aprio's evolving technology-enabled service model, including AI-native tools and scalable delivery models to support technology and startup clients.

CFO Advisory Support: Partners with US client leads on core and add-on advisory engagements (e.g., headcount planning, scenario modeling, SKU profitability), owning the analyst-level build and preparing client-facing outputs.Complex Projects & Cross-Functional Support

Capacity as a Builder: Uses available capacity to create reusable templates, models, SOPs, and dashboards that the broader Technology CAAS group can leverage across clients.Practice Building & Enablement

While this role is primarily focused on delivery and advisory, we expect the Manager to gradually build a market presence and contribute to growth as the position matures - this is a developing, not quota-carrying, expectation.

Networking & Visibility: Builds a professional network over time and represents Aprio thoughtfully in the market, participating in relevant industry or community events and contributing to the firm’s reputation in the technology and startup finance space. Origination Support: Contributes to proposals, scoping, and pursuits by preparing models and materials, with a growing role in originating and expanding work as experience and relationships develop.Qualifications:

- Experience: 5 - 7+ years of progressive finance and/or accounting experience, ideally including FP&A, financial modeling, or CFO/finance advisory in a client-service, outsourced, or high-growth environment.
