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.
