Description

Staff Accountant - Carson, California

Robert Half is seeking a diligent and detail-focused Staff Accountant for our client, a dynamic and rapidly growing company based in Carson, California. This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to make an immediate impact on a collaborative and forward-thinking team. Our client values accuracy, integrity, and innovation in every aspect of their business operations.

As a Staff Accountant, you will play an essential role in maintaining accurate financial records, supporting core accounting functions, and contributing to strategic financial decision-making. You will be part of a supportive environment that encourages professional growth and continuous learning.

Responsibilities

Manage daily accounting operations including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger activities.

Prepare and reconcile monthly financial statements, journal entries, and bank accounts to ensure accuracy and timeliness.

Support month-end and year-end closing processes in compliance with GAAP and company policies.

Assist in preparing budgets and forecasts, and analyze financial performance against projections.

Maintain detailed financial documentation and ensure internal controls are properly followed.

Collaborate with operations, finance, and management teams to validate financial data and generate clear, accurate reports.

Assist with tax preparation activities, including corporate and sales tax filings.

Participate in process improvement initiatives and help implement accounting system enhancements.

Perform in-depth financial analyses to support management decisions and long-term planning.

Resolve complex account discrepancies and assist with consolidated reporting across multiple entities.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

Two to four years of accounting experience, preferably in a corporate or public accounting environment.

Solid understanding of GAAP and standard accounting practices.

Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and familiarity with accounting software such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or SAP.

Strong attention to detail, analytical ability, and organizational skills.

Capability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a changing environment.

Excellent communication skills and a proactive, team-oriented approach.

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers the chance to work within a growing organization that encourages collaboration and continuous improvement. You will have exposure to all aspects of accounting and the opportunity to expand your skills through challenging projects and mentorship. The company promotes internal advancement, values innovation, and supports professional development at every level.

Would you like me to tailor this slightly to a specific industry (for example, logistics, construction, or manufacturing)? I can make it sound more aligned with your client's business focus while keeping it clean and professional.If you're not currently working with anyone at Robert Half, please click "Apply" or call 562-800-3963 and ask for David Bizub.
