Staff Accountant

Overview

Lyra Technology Group is a private equity-backed holding company that invests in and operates industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.

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.

California Computer Options is a complete technology solution provider. We are 100% committed to making sure business owners have the most reliable and professional IT service. Our offerings include managed IT services, cybersecurity services, cloud solutions, and co-managed IT. These services provide reliable support, advanced security, and scalable solutions that adapt to your business needs. Our team brings over 50 years of combined IT experience from corporate, SMB, and MSP environments, ensuring specialized expertise across every critical technology area while also delivering personalized, local support that understands the unique needs of Southern California businesses.
