Senior Accountant

Chad Lundgren, CPA, LLC is a Nashville-based boutique accounting and advisory firm serving entrepreneurs and closely held businesses with real operational complexity. The firm has deep roots in the entertainment industry, working with artists, producers, managers, agencies, and live-event businesses, alongside a strong base of automotive, construction, and service-based companies. CLCPA also supports a growing book of tax-only clients. The firm’s work emphasizes clean, defensible books, sound entity and tax alignment, and practical financial insight that clients can actually use to run their businesses.

This is a senior-level accountant role offered on a part-time, hybrid basis (approximately 15–25 hours per week to start). The position is based in Nashville, and candidates must live in the area and be available for periodic in-office work. The role is client-facing and ownership-oriented, intended for an experienced professional who can manage a portfolio of clients with minimal oversight.

Responsibilities include monthly and quarterly accounting primarily in Quick Books Online; cleaning up and stabilizing books; and handling nuanced scenarios such as royalty and advance income, contractor and subcontractor costs, job costing, inventory, payroll coordination, and accrual-basis accounting. The role also includes basic tax preparation and review work using Intuit Pro Connect, primarily for individuals and closely held entities, with an emphasis on accuracy and alignment rather than high-volume production.

You will support tax-only engagements by maintaining financials that align cleanly with year-end tax strategy. The position requires direct client communication, the ability to explain financial statements to non-financial owners, early identification of risks and opportunities, and close collaboration with firm leadership on client strategy, workflow refinement, and process improvement. This is not a bookkeeping-only or tax-season grind role; it requires judgment, accountability, and comfort operating independently.

• 3–6+ years of accounting experience, preferably in public accounting or a client-service environment
• Experience with monthly accounting, tax preparation, and compliance for small or closely held businesses
• Proficiency in Quick Books Online and Intuit Pro Connect; experience with Tax Dome and Excel strongly preferred
• Ability to step into messy or incomplete books and apply sound professional judgment
• Solid understanding of small-business accounting and tax fundamentals, including 1120-S, 1065, and Schedule C/E alignment
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail
• Ability to own client relationships end-to-end and communicate clearly with non-accountants
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA preferred but not required
• Prior experience in public accounting, internal audit, corporate accounting, or advisory-focused role is a plus
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Must live in the Nashville area and be open to a hybrid in-office / remote schedule
• Prior Experience in Entertainment Industry required
• Compensation commensurate with experience
