About the Job
Emergent Method is seeking an experienced and dynamic Accounting Manager to play a key role in accounting, financial operations, reporting, optimizing cash flow, and compliance. This role will involve hands-on management of accounting processes, including general ledger management, month-end close, and financial reporting.
The ideal candidate has experience with full cycle accounting, financial reporting, month-end and year-end closing processes, and internal controls and compliance. This is a full-time, permanent position based in Baton Rouge, LA, with some opportunities for hybrid work.

We’re just as serious about developing our team and fostering a supportive, encouraging environment as we are about doing quality work for our clients. Our team shares a vision of being singular, unequaled, and extraordinary. While being a part of the Method often means going outside of your comfort zone, thinking outside of the box, and being part of a collaborative and dynamic team, it will ultimately lead to unparalleled personal and professional growth. You’ll catch us hanging out on the weekends, having monthly happy hours, throwing great office parties and events (both virtual and in-person), and planning a variety of after-work get-togethers because we enjoy being around each other.
Whether in our Baton Rouge headquarters, or working remote throughout the U.S., we’re constantly communicating, chatting on Slack, and staying as connected as ever – no matter where we are. We are committed to our employees the same way they are committed to us, and we trust our team to get the job done, whether in the office or working from home.
