Job Description

Lyra Technology Group is seeking a Staff Accountant for one of their operating companies in Southern California, California Computer Options. The Staff Accountant is responsible for owning the billing and collections cycle, driving procurement accuracy, and supporting our Controller in maintaining a clean, current ledger every single day, not just at month-end. This role serves as a foundational pillar of the accounting department, supporting the financial integrity and operational efficiency of the organization. We’re looking for a Staff Accountant who is energized by that challenge. This isn’t a “close the books and wait” role — it’s a high-impact position at the financial core of a growing, PE-backed MSP.

This role also carries a meaningful operational support component: you’ll be the person who keeps the office running smoothly — coordinating vendors, managing supplies, and making sure day-to-day logistics don’t fall through the cracks. If you’re someone who takes ownership across both functions and doesn’t wait to be told what needs doing, you’ll thrive here.

Your work as a Staff Accountant will include several components:

Client Invoicing

Procurement

• Assist in the procurement and accurate coding of billable hardware and services in coordination with the operations team
• Maintain accurate vendor and customer records, including onboarding documentation and account setup in Business Central

Close Cycle

• Perform daily bank reconciliation and resolve outstanding items in real time — you don’t let work pile up waiting for close
• Support the Controller with monthly close activities: journal entry preparation and posting, balance sheet reconciliations, and variance investigation
• Maintain recurring reconciliation and expense schedules so month-end is a confirmation, not a scramble
• Maintain the general ledger in Business Central with accuracy and discipline

Audit & Compliance

• Support the annual audit process by preparing schedules and responding to auditor inquiries
• Ensure adherence to company accounting policies and internal controls

Operational

• Ensuring the physical environment and vendor relationships supports the team’s ability to operate.
• Vendor coordination: maintain relationships with office service providers, follow up on open issues, and ensure timely resolution of service requests
• Office supplies: own inventory management, track consumption, and place replenishment orders proactively so the office never runs short
• Facility and building logistics: serve as the day-to-day point of contact for facility-related matters at the Corona office, coordinating with building management as needed
• Mail and shipping: manage incoming and outgoing mail, packages, and courier shipments, including routing to the appropriate team member and maintaining shipping documentation

Our ideal Staff Accountant has the following qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 2–4 years of accounting experience in a corporate or public accounting environment
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and ERP systems
• Working knowledge of GAAP
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities without letting anything slip
• Self-starter mentality — you take initiative, stay ahead of deadlines, and don’t wait to be told what needs doing
• Comfortable owning both detailed financial work and day-to-day operational tasks in the same role

Preferred

• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
• Experience managing vendor and customer master data in an ERP environment
• Familiarity with PSA platforms such as Autotask or similar MSP billing tools
• Prior experience in an MSP, technology services, or PE-backed company environment

This is a non-exempt role with a targeted hourly range of $35/hr and will operate out of the Corona, California office. If you are a motivated, detail-oriented accounting professional looking to join a team in tech space, we’d love to have a conversation with you!
