We are looking for a Staff Accountant to join a team in California in a contract-to-permanent capacity. This position is well suited for an accounting specialist who enjoys bringing accuracy and structure to daily financial operations, with a strong emphasis on account reconciliation and general ledger integrity. The role will also contribute to selected accounts payable, collections, and tax-related activities while working in NetSuite within an environment that still relies on several manual processes.

Responsibilities:

Perform detailed reconciliations between general ledger accounts and supporting subledger activity to identify discrepancies and maintain accurate financial records. Prepare and post journal entries while helping ensure balances are properly recorded and supported by documentation. Provide day-to-day assistance with accounts payable tasks, including reviewing invoice-related information and supporting payment processing workflows. Support collection efforts through internal follow-up, reporting, and account review without direct outreach to customers or clients. Assist with preparing and handling corporate and sales tax return documentation in accordance with reporting requirements. Use NetSuite to manage accounting activity, track transactions, and maintain organized financial data. Contribute to invoice processing and accounts payable automation workflows by validating system-captured data and resolving exceptions as needed. Help strengthen accounting operations by working through manual procedures carefully and recommending more efficient approaches where appropriate. At least 3 years of accounting experience in a staff accountant or similar role. Hands-on experience with general ledger reconciliations and subledger tie-outs. Strong working knowledge of journal entries, account analysis, and month-end accounting activities. Familiarity with corporate tax, sales tax, and related return support responsibilities. Experience using NetSuite or another ERP system in a transactional accounting environment. Ability to manage detailed work accurately in processes that include a high degree of manual activity. Solid organizational skills and the ability to handle multiple accounting priorities with consistency and attention to detail.
