Job Description

Anaheim, CA - Fully Onsite) | Travel to Lake Elsinore HQ Every Other Week 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. What You’ll Be Doing: Build and establish the accounting department from scratch, including processes, workflows, controls, and reporting structure Partner closely with the outsourced accounting firm during the transition period, with the long‑term goal of bringing accounting fully in‑house Own day‑to‑day accounting operations, bookkeeping, month‑end close, reconciliations, payroll coordination, and financial reporting Develop scalable accounting infrastructure to support rapid company growth Work cross‑functionally with leadership and operational teams to improve visibility, organization, and financial processes Manage inventory and cost accounting functions related to manufacturing/distribution operations Help create a more organized, process‑driven financial environment while maintaining flexibility in a fast‑paced culture Travel to the Lake Elsinore headquarters approximately every other week for visibility and collaboration What They’re Looking For: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required 5+ years of accounting leadership experience in manufacturing, retail, or distribution environments Experience building or rebuilding accounting processes and infrastructure Strong understanding of inventory accounting and operational accounting workflows Ability to work independently with minimal oversight Someone who is proactive, adaptable, and comfortable in an evolving environment Creative problem solver who can “figure it out” and keep things moving Experience with QuickBooks, Xero, or similar ERP/accounting systems preferred This company is entrepreneurial, collaborative, and growth‑focused. Leadership is looking for someone who can roll with change, help create structure, and become a trusted business partner as the company continues to scale. The right person will enjoy building, creating, improving, and having direct impact on the future of the organization — not simply maintaining an already polished accounting department. Medical coverage available, including PPO/HMO plan options Company currently covers 100% of employee healthcare premiums, including family coverage Opportunity to build and lead an accounting function from the ground up High visibility role with direct partnership alongside ownership and leadership Long‑term career growth as the company continues scaling rapidly Ability to make a real impact on operational and financial strategy Entrepreneurial environment where ideas, process improvements, and initiative are valued Strong sense of ownership and autonomy — not a micromanaged environment Collaborative, team‑oriented culture focused on growth and adaptability Stable and growing company within the manufacturing/distribution industry #J-18808-Ljbffr
