Job Description

Jr. Staff Accountant

Confidential Healthcare Organization | San Diego, CA

Compensation up to $58k

Are you early in your accounting career and looking for the right place to build a strong foundation?

Our client is a growing healthcare organization focused on improving quality of life through behavioral health and whole-person care. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is smart, detail-oriented, eager to learn, and excited to break into accounting with a company whose work makes a real impact in the community.

This role is ideal for a recent Accounting or Finance graduate, or someone with 1–2 years of experience in accounts payable, accounts receivable, or general accounting support.

About the Opportunity

The Accounting Clerk / Jr. Staff Accountant will support the accounting team with day-to-day transactional accounting, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, data entry, vendor support, and general administrative accounting tasks.

The right person does not need to know everything on day one. What matters most is accuracy, curiosity, follow-through, and a willingness to be trained.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with accounts payable processing, including invoice entry, coding, approvals, and vendor follow-up
• Support accounts receivable functions, including billing support, payment posting, and account research
• Help maintain accurate accounting records and documentation
• Assist with reconciliations, data entry, and account clean-up projects
• Communicate professionally with vendors, internal team members, and other departments
• Support month-end close activities as needed
• Help identify missing information, discrepancies, or process issues
• Provide general administrative support to the accounting and finance team

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field preferred
• Open to a recent graduate with strong internship, academic, or work experience
• 1–2 years of AP, AR, or general accounting experience is a plus
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Highly trainable, dependable, and organized
• Comfortable working with numbers, spreadsheets, and accounting systems
• Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude
• Ability to ask good questions, take direction, and follow through
•  

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a great entry point into a growing healthcare organization where you can learn real accounting processes, gain exposure to both AP and AR, and build a long-term career foundation. For someone who wants more than just a first job, this role offers the chance to develop practical accounting skills in a mission-driven environment.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is someone who may be early in their career but takes pride in being accurate, reliable, and detail-oriented. You are the type of person who wants to learn the “why” behind the work, not just complete tasks. You are coachable, professional, and ready to grow within an accounting team.
