Job DescriptionSalary: $110,000 to $140,000
Accounting Manager
A rapidly growing Southern California company in the manufacturing/distribution space is seeking a hands on, highly driven Accounting Manager to build and lead its accounting function from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in fast moving environments, enjoys creating structure where none exists, and wants to have a real seat at the table as the business scales.
This is not a plug-into-an-existing team type of role. There is currently no formal internal accounting department, and this person will play a critical role in transitioning accounting operations from an outsourced model to a fully internalized function over time. The ideal candidate is resourceful, detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable operating independently in an entrepreneurial environment.
