Location:

Irvine, California (On-site) 1. Position Summary We are looking for a hands-on Staff Accountant to support the day-to-day accounting of our U.S. sales entity. Reporting to the U.S. Finance Manager, you will own the transactional accounting cycle — accounts payable, accounts receivable, month-end journal entries, reconciliations and supporting schedules — under the guidance of the Finance Manager and in coordination with the group finance team. This is an execution-focused role; consolidation and group-level reporting are handled at a higher level and are not primary responsibilities here. 2. Key Responsibilities 2.1 Accounting and Month-End Close Prepare and post journal entries, accruals, prepayments and reclassifications in support of the monthly close. Perform balance sheet and general ledger reconciliations; investigate and clear aging and reconciling items. Maintain the fixed asset register and support monthly depreciation schedules. Assist the Finance Manager in meeting close deadlines and documentation standards. 2.2 Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable Manage the full AP cycle: vendor setup (including W-9), invoice processing, two-way / three-way PO matching, payment runs and expense reimbursement review.

Manage AR:

customer invoicing, cash application, AR aging analysis and follow-up on past-due balances. Support 1099 data preparation at year-end and keep vendor and customer master data clean. Maintain organized supporting documentation and make sure approval workflows are followed. 2.3 Consignment Inventory, Intercompany and Import Support Support consignment inventory accounting and reconciliation (trading and sales entity — no manufacturing and no COGS). Process and reconcile intercompany transactions with group entities; help clear intercompany balances at each close. Assist with accounting entries related to imported goods (duty, freight and landed cost capture) and reconcile the related payables. 2.4 Reporting, Internal Control and Audit Support Generate routine reports and ad-hoc schedules from QAD (ERP) and Excel. Apply established internal control procedures consistently and escalate any exception promptly. Support the local statutory audit and internal reviews by preparing PBC lists, schedules and account analyses. Provide ad-hoc analysis and data extracts as requested by the Finance Manager or the group finance team. 3. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance. 3-5 years of accounting experience (3 years acceptable; approximately 5 years a plus). Solid hands-on AP and AR experience in a real transactional environment. Working knowledge of

U.S. GAAP

fundamentals. Proficient in Excel (VLOOKUP / XLOOKUP, PivotTables) and comfortable learning ERP systems (QAD or similar). 4. Preferred Qualifications CPA, or progress toward CPA. Big 4 or other public accounting background. Experience in a trading, distribution or life-science / medical-device environment. Exposure to intercompany and import-related accounting. Familiarity with QAD, NetSuite or SAP. 5. Equal Opportunity We are an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic.
