Staff Accountant

$35 - $45 per hour

Pave Talent

Job Description

Job Description

Temporary accounting seat for someone who lives in AR and AP and can step into a live close without a long ramp.

Company

A San Diego biotechnology company specializing in iPSC-derived and primary human cells, disease-model cell lines, and bioassay services for pharma and research customers. Small, hands-on finance team where one person covers a lot of ground, so the work is broad rather than siloed.

Who thrives here

  • Owns the A/R aging report and is comfortable picking up the phone to chase a past-due invoice
  • Works accurately at speed, and can hold A/P, A/R, and purchasing at the same time
  • Steps into an existing process and runs it. This is a backfill, not a build
  • Wants a temporary assignment and can start quickly

The opportunity

Temporary backfill supporting daily accounting operations, with a strong focus on Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Procurement. On-site in San Diego (92131).

What you will own

  • Monitor A/R aging reports, manage collections, and follow up with customers so outstanding invoices get paid on time
  • Process A/P by verifying invoices, entering vendor bills, and preparing payment batches for approval
  • Coordinate procurement and purchasing so goods and services arrive on time, monitoring purchases for budget compliance and operational needs
  • Assist with month-end close, journal entries, and account reconciliations
  • Support fixed asset tracking, inventory accounting, sales tax compliance, and ad hoc financial reporting
  • Maintain accurate financial records in accordance with GAAP and company internal controls

Qualifications

Required

  • Hands-on Accounts Receivable AND Accounts Payable experience. This is the core of the role
  • NetSuite experience
  • Comfortable supporting month-end close, journal entries, and account reconciliations
  • Able to work on-site in San Diego

Bonus points

  • Biotech or life sciences industry experience
  • Procurement or purchasing coordination
  • Inventory accounting, fixed assets, or sales tax compliance exposure

Compensation and benefits

  • Pay rate: $35 to $45 per hour, depending on experience
  • Type: Temporary assignment, W-2 through Pave Talent
  • Schedule: On-site, San Diego, CA 92131

If you are an A/R and A/P specialist who can start quickly, we would like to talk.
