Description We are looking for a Staff Accountant to join a growing organization in Fremont, California on a contract basis. This position is ideal for an accounting specialist who enjoys owning day-to-day financial activities, strengthening reporting accuracy, and contributing in a fast-moving environment. The role begins as a contract assignment with the potential to convert to a permanent opportunity after approximately six months, depending on performance and business needs. This individual will work closely across accounting and operations while helping support scalable financial processes.

Responsibilities:

Manage daily accounting activity across the general ledger, payables, receivables, and payroll-related entries to maintain complete and accurate financial records.

Drive the monthly, quarterly, and annual close cycle by preparing journal entries, reconciling accounts, and assembling supporting documentation for financial reporting.

Monitor inventory accounting and cost activity, including stock movements, valuation adjustments, and cost of goods sold, to ensure reliable reporting in a manufacturing-focused setting.

Partner with internal teams on accounting for procurement, work orders, and operational transactions so financial data reflects business activity accurately.

Contribute to finance system enhancement efforts by assisting with data review, testing, and process alignment connected to the transition from QuickBooks Online to NetSuite.

Prepare schedules and documentation for external audit requests while supporting compliance with accounting policies and internal control expectations.

Assist with specialized accounting matters such as accruals, revenue-related entries, intercompany activity, and other non-routine transactions as needed.

Provide short-term support for sales operations by maintaining customer and order records, reviewing purchase documentation, responding to order-related inquiries, and coordinating with logistics for timely fulfillment. Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related discipline.

At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, with the ability to work independently in a hands-on role.

Background in hardware, manufacturing, or other inventory-intensive environments strongly preferred.

Practical experience with QuickBooks is required, and exposure to NetSuite is highly preferred.

Strong knowledge of general ledger accounting, journal entries, account reconciliations, and month-end close activities.

Experience with inventory accounting, cost of goods sold, and operational financial processes within a product-based business.

Familiarity with corporate tax, sales tax, and related financial compliance activities is a plus.

Ability to succeed in a fast-changing company by staying detail-oriented, organized, and focused on process improvement.
