Accounting Manager
Bakersfield, CA | $110,000 – $120,000


A well-established, privately held organization in Bakersfield is seeking an Accounting Manager to join its growing team. This is a highly visible leadership role within a stable, long-standing company that continues to expand its regional presence and invest in operational excellence.


In this role, you’ll oversee day-to-day accounting operations and lead the month-end close process while ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely financial reporting. You’ll also supervise a small accounting team and serve as a key financial partner to operations leadership, helping drive informed decision-making across the business.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Stable, well-established organization with a strong regional footprint

  • High-visibility role with direct impact on financial performance and reporting

  • Collaborative leadership team that values accountability and continuous improvement

  • Opportunity to streamline processes and build efficiencies

  • Competitive compensation package including full benefits, 401(k), and discretionary bonus


What You’ll Do



  • Lead daily accounting operations and oversee the month-end close process

  • Prepare, review, and analyze financial statements and supporting schedules

  • Maintain integrity of the general ledger, reconciliations, and reporting accuracy

  • Supervise, mentor, and develop accounting team members

  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis efforts

  • Partner with leadership to deliver financial insights and operational recommendations

  • Strengthen internal controls and ensure compliance with accounting standards


What We’re Looking For



  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience

  • Prior supervisory or team lead experience

  • Strong technical foundation in general ledger accounting and financial reporting
