About the role
Cooper Douglas has partnered with a leading healthcare technology company in Southern California to hire a Senior Accountant. This is a hybrid role in Escondido. Expect more time on site in the first few weeks while you learn the business.
What you will do:
- Own the month-end close
- Handle revenue recognition and accruals under US GAAPRun AP, AR, invoicing and expense/corporate card administration, and help transition the transactional work to a new team member
- Prepare journal entries, reconciliations and supporting schedules
- Build and maintain the revenue forecast and help stand up the company's first annual budget
- Help eliminate the reliance on an outside bookkeeper
- Improve workflows with automation and AI-enabled tools; the company is open to new systems and may change its accounting platform
- Support audit, tax and compliance work as the company grows
What we are looking for:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance 3+ years of accounting experience, including hands-on month-end close
- Start-up or small-company experience where you built or improved processes
- Some exposure to forecasting or budgeting
- Self-starter who picks things up quickly and can run the role without a lot of direction
- Comfortable doing both higher-level projects and digging into transactions
- Stable work history
- Comfortable with cloud accounting platforms and AP/expense tools, and curious about AI and new technology
- Healthcare or tech experience is a plus, not a requirement
- Why this role
- High visibility and real ownership, working directly with leadership
- Fast-growing company that expects to double headcount next year
- Room to grow into a manager-level role as the function scales
- Full benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match and paid time off
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
