Job Description

Accounting Manager | Specialty Finance | West Los Angeles

A growing Los Angeles specialty finance company is looking for an Accounting Manager who wants real ownership, a seat at the table, and a defined route to Controller.

Why this role is worth a look

  • A clear path to Controller as the business grows
  • Daily, direct contact with the CEO and CFO. You’ll be part of strategic conversations, not just the month-end close.
  • Reporting to the CFO, with a hands-on role in financial statements, budgeting, forecasting and bank relationships
  • Meaningful work. Your accounting supports lending that helps local and regional business owners grow.
  • A small, high-trust team where your ideas get used

What you’ll do

  • Lead a team of three: an on-site Staff Accountant plus two offshore team members
  • Run daily accounting operations and own the general ledger, including journal entries and reconciliations
  • Prepare monthly financial statements with the CFO
  • Manage periodic financial and bank audits and support the CFO on lender reporting
  • Oversee the month-end close, including journal entries from the lending platform into QuickBooks
  • Oversee the 1099 process
  • Drive process improvements across accounting and the wider business
  • Support financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years in accounting, including at least 2 years in financial services and 2 years in a leadership role
  • Experience managing people
  • Private company experience with GL, operations accounting and financial reporting.
  • Strong Excel skills. QuickBooks is helpful, and SQL or Access is a plus.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or Business (MBA a plus)
  • CPA, or well on your way
  • A positive attitude and a willingness to be in the office five days a week
