Accounting Manager

Title: Accounting Manager (Revenue Focus)
Compensation: $120K–$150K base (bonus potential)
Location: San Diego, CA | Hybrid (~3 days onsite)

Overview:
This Accounting Manager role is designed for a hands?on accounting leader who can step into a fast?moving, operationally complex manufacturing environment and immediately take ownership of the close. The accounting function is lean, expectations are high, and this role will play a critical part in tightening processes, building structure, and creating consistency without slowing day?to?day operations.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Immediate ownership of the close with meaningful, visible impact
• Opportunity to bring structure and discipline to an evolving accounting function
• High visibility and cross?functional exposure across finance and operations
• Well?suited for an operator who thrives in ambiguity

Key Responsibilities:

• Own month?end, quarter?end, and year?end close processes end to end
• Review and approve journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements
• Ensure accurate application and ongoing compliance with ASC 606, including revenue recognition analysis, judgment support, and documentation
• Oversee lease accounting under ASC 842, including technical assessment, schedules, and coordination with operational stakeholders
• Identify gaps in existing processes and implement practical improvements
• Establish and maintain accounting controls and supporting documentation
• Partner cross?functionally to support accurate and timely financial data

Minimum Qualifications:

• Prior experience owning the close in a complex accounting environment
• Strong technical accounting foundation, including hands?on experience with ASC 606 and ASC 842
• Ability to independently review journal entries, reconciliations, and financials
• Comfortable operating in fast?paced, minimally structured organizations

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting manufacturing or operationally driven accounting environments
• Exposure to cost allocations, project?based work, or multi?stream accounting
• Background working through periods of change
