- Help support payroll system challenges and ongoing HRIS improvements
- Partner with the finance team to maintain workflow in a fast-paced environment
- Assist with cross-training across accounting functions as needed
What We're Looking For
- 3–5+ years of accounting experience
- Strong background in AP or AR, with exposure to both preferred
- Willingness to learn payroll and support a complex process environment
- Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly explain experience
- Professional, adaptable, and team-oriented mindset
- Ability to thrive in a changing environment
- Able to work fully onsite in Oakland
Systems & Tools
- QuickBooks experience preferred (current system)
- NetSuite experience is a plus (future transition planned)
- Other ERP experience welcome (SAP, Oracle, etc.)
- Exposure to payroll systems or HRIS platforms (UKG a plus, not required)
LHH Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with employer match (where applicable)
- Paid time off including sick leave (for eligible employees)
- Weekly pay during contract assignment
