\nAbout Sayva Managed Services
\n
\nSayva Managed Services is the outsourced finance, accounting, and human resources division of Sayva Solutions. We serve as the dedicated back-office team for early-stage to mid-market businesses across SaaS, life sciences, e-commerce, and professional services. Our mission is to cultivate trusted, long-term relationships with clients and talented professionals to fuel growth and drive meaningful outcomes.
\n
\nRecognized nationally and locally for culture and growth, Sayva has been named toInc. Magazine's Best Workplaces in America (2021-2025), the Inc. 5000 (2019-2020, 2022-2025), and the San Diego Business Journal's Top 100 Best Places to Work every year since 2017, landing in the Top 10 each time.
\n
\nIs This You?
\n
\nYou are sharp, adaptable, and genuinely curious. You have the accounting fundamentals down and you are ready to apply them across a diverse portfolio of clients rather than inside a single company. You shift gears without losing your footing: some days you are deep in a month-end close, some days a client needs something new, and some days the work is straightforward. A great team does what needs to be done, and no one here is above rolling up their sleeves.
\n
\nYou communicate proactively. You give things a real try before asking for help, and when you do ask, your question is specific. You keep your team informed without being chased down, manage expectations out loud, and do what you say. These are not nice-to-haves here. They are the standard.
\n
\nYou are also thinking about where you are going. This role has a defined path: Staff Accountant to Senior Accountant to Accounting Manager to Controller. We promote from within and we are actively looking for people who want to grow into that trajectory over time.

Review work prepared by AP and AR clerks, providing feedback and ensuring accuracy\n\t
Assist in the preparation of timely, accurate, and complete financial statements\n\t
Gather and organize data to support reporting, analysis, and client deliverables\n\t

\nWhy Sayva?
\n
\nAt Sayva, we invest in our people the same way we invest in our clients: with intention, consistency, and a genuine commitment to long-term success. You will work alongside experienced controllers, senior accountants, and fractional CFOs, building the kind of breadth and depth that defines a strong accounting career.
\n
\nWe are not looking for someone to fill a seat. We are looking for someone who wants to earn their way up and build something lasting at a firm that will keep giving them more to grow into. We hold ourselves to a high standard and we expect the same from our team. In return, you get a collaborative culture, meaningful work, and a company that has been recognized as one of San Diego's best places to work nine years running.
