Staff Accountant

Job Title: Staff Accountant Job : 86139 Location: Irvine, California Overview: Our client is a fast-growing recycling and materials technology company in Nashville that's changing how waste gets sorted, recovered, and turned into value. Think advanced sorting systems, proprietary technology, and a company scaling fast enough that the finance function is being built alongside the business - not bolted on after the fact.

This role reports directly to the Controller and puts you at the center of a lean, high-impact finance team. You won't be buried in a department of 40 accountants doing the same thing every month. You'll be in the room, solving real problems, and building processes that didn't exist six months ago. If you've been waiting for an accounting role where you actually matter, keep reading.

What you will be doing: This is a full-cycle accounting role with a twist: you'll also get your hands into process improvement, financial analysis, and cross-functional problem solving.

• Own month-end close - journal entries, reconciliations, and subsidiary financial statement prep. You'll know these numbers cold.
• Drive financial visibility - build and maintain reports that leadership actually uses to make decisions. Analyze trends, costs, revenue, and commitments.
• Support budgeting and planning - work side-by-side with the Controller on the company's budget, forecasts, and financial strategy.
• Manage intercompany accounting - maintain balances and reconciliations with the parent entity.
• Handle fixed assets - maintain records for a growing asset base across multiple operations.
• Be the backup the team needs - cross-train on cost reporting, multi-state sales tax filings, inventory control, and ERP system maintenance.
• Support audit readiness - year-end, bank, and regulatory audits won't be a fire drill because you'll help keep things clean all year.
• Contribute to ERP evolution - participate in system implementation and optimization as the company scales its tech stack.

What you must have:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting (CMA a plus)
• 3+ years of full-cycle accounting experience in manufacturing, construction, or job-costing environments
• Hands-on ERP experience - you've generated and analyzed financials inside a system, not just in Excel
• Advanced Excel skills - pivot tables, lookups, and modeling are second nature
• Strong communicator who can translate numbers into insight for non-finance stakeholders
• A self-starter who thrives in a smaller team where ownership is the expectation, not the exception

Salary/Rate Range: $65,000.00 - $80,000.00 Other Information: Why This Company

• You're joining a company at the intersection of technology and sustainability - not a boring industry play. Their proprietary sorting and recovery technology is disrupting how recyclable materials are processed at scale.
• he finance team is small by design. That means you get exposure to everything - from transactional work to strategic planning - faster than you would at a large corporation.
• Nashville location near BNA. 100% on-site with a team that actually wants to be in the office together.
• This is the kind of role that grows with you. As the company scales, so does the complexity and opportunity of this position.
