About the Staff Accountant Role

Join Robert Half's esteemed client in Irvine, California, as a Staff Accountant on a long-term contract basis. This pivotal position offers a dynamic opportunity to immerse yourself in core financial operations within a thriving organization. As a Staff Accountant, you will be the backbone of accounts receivable, invoicing, cash management, and general ledger activities, ensuring precision and efficiency in every transaction. Irvine, known for its innovation hub status in Orange County, provides an ideal setting for accounting professionals seeking growth in a vibrant business community. With a competitive rate of $30.09 per hour, this role is perfect for detail-oriented individuals passionate about financial accuracy and process optimization. Robert Half specializes in connecting top talent like you with leading employers, offering stability and professional fulfillment.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't just any accounting job—it's a chance to leverage your expertise in NetSuite and contribute to high-impact financial strategies. You'll work closely with a collaborative team, tackling real-world challenges like B2B collections and month-end closes, while gaining exposure to intercompany transactions and advanced reporting. Ideal for mid-level accountants aiming to build a robust resume in Southern California's competitive job market.

Key Responsibilities

Your day-to-day will be hands-on and rewarding, focusing on the full spectrum of accounting tasks:

• Manage end-to-end accounts receivable, from invoicing to net 30 payment follow-ups, minimizing days sales outstanding (DSO).
• Conduct thorough bank reconciliations, identifying and resolving variances to maintain impeccable financial records.
• Oversee cash flow operations, including deposits, wire transfers, and liquidity forecasting.
• Prepare and post journal entries, supporting month-end close processes for timely financial reporting.
• Process intercompany invoices for materials, fixed assets, and cross-entity transactions.
• Drive B2B collections through proactive outreach, negotiation, and relationship management.
• Master NetSuite for daily tasks, custom reporting, and data analysis to drive business insights.
• Uphold GAAP compliance and internal controls in all accounting activities.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to streamline workflows and resolve accounting discrepancies efficiently.
• Tackle ad hoc projects, such as audit support, budget analysis, and special financial reports.

Daily Impact

Expect a fast-paced environment where your contributions directly influence the company's financial health and operational success. This role demands precision but rewards initiative and teamwork.

Required Qualifications

To excel, bring the following to the table:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
• At least 2 years of progressive staff accounting experience, preferably in a corporate setting.
• Advanced proficiency in NetSuite ERP; experience with other ERP systems is a plus.
• In-depth understanding of GAAP, accrual accounting, and financial reporting standards.
• Exceptional attention to detail with a track record of error-free reconciliations.
• Strong analytical skills for cash flow modeling and variance analysis.
• Proven success in AR management and collections in a B2B environment.
• Excellent organizational abilities to juggle multiple priorities during peak periods like month-end.
• Superior communication skills for collaborating with vendors, internal stakeholders, and leadership.
• Familiarity with fixed asset accounting, intercompany eliminations, and ad hoc reporting.

Candidates with CPA progress or certifications like QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor will receive preference. A proactive mindset and adaptability to evolving financial systems are essential.
