Location: Irvine, CA (Fully In-Office)

Compensation: $35.00 - $38.00 / hour

Job Type: Full-Time (Non-Exempt/Hourly)

What You'll Be Doing

In this role, priorities can shift rapidly based on reporting cycles, business demands, and strategic needs. Rather than following a rigid routine, you will balance core month-end duties with dynamic cross-departmental projects:

  • Core Accounting & Ledger Management

    • Prepare and post accurate general ledger journal entries and maintain subsidiary ledgers.

    • Execute timely balance sheet reconciliations across treasury, revenue, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, intercompany accounts, fixed assets, prepaid expenses, and accrued liabilities.

    • Collect, analyze, and verify financial data to reflect the organization's financial standing accurately.

  • Reporting, Forecasting & Cash Management

    • Support the drafting of annual budgets, forecasting models, and expenditure tracking.

    • Assist in the preparation of executive-level financial reports, KPI scorecards, and regulatory statements.

    • Prepare cash flow summaries, treasury tracking, and rolling monthly cash flow projections.

  • Agile Operational Support & Ad-Hoc Projects

    • Partner with operations to calculate monthly commissions and resolve cross-functional billing or ledger questions.

    • Pivot between analytical deep-dives and urgent ad-hoc financial requests as operational needs evolve.

    • Support the accounting supervisor with administrative and clerical tasks to maintain smooth day-to-day workflow.

Who You Are

We value adaptability, a solutions-oriented mindset, and strong fundamental accounting knowledge:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Required).

  • Experience: 1–3 years of hands-on accounting experience in a professional office setting.

  • Adaptability & Drive: Proven ability to multitask, pivot quickly when priorities shift, and handle ad-hoc assignments with minimal ramp-up time.

  • Technical Fluency: High proficiency in Microsoft Excel (complex formulas, lookups, pivot tables, data organization) and a strong command of standard accounting principles.

  • Communication & Collaboration: Clear verbal and written communication skills with a forward-thinking, team-first attitude.

  • Work Environment Requirements: Ability to work in an indoor office environment, operate standard office hardware, sit or stand for extended periods, and occasionally lift or move up to 25 pounds using appropriate equipment.

Bonus Points (Great to Have)

  • Hands-on experience navigating NetSuite ERP.

  • Prior background in Big 4 or Mid-Tier public accounting.

  • Active CPA license or MBA in Accounting/Finance (or active pursuit thereof).

What We Offer

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage options.

  • Generous paid time off (PTO) and paid company holidays throughout the year.

  • A vibrant team culture featuring regular quarterly social events, team outings, and annual holiday parties.

  • 401(k) retirement savings plan options to support your long-term financial health.

  • Direct access to accounting leadership and ongoing exposure to complex financial cycles to help build your career foundation.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
