Senior Bookkeeper

Most bookkeeping jobs are described as data entry with a pulse.

This isn’t one of them.

In a CPA firm, bookkeeping determines whether tax season is calm or catastrophic. Clean books mean confident conversations. Messy books mean explanations.

This Bakersfield CPA firm is looking for a Bookkeeping Manager with prior CPA firm experience who understands that distinction.

You’ll oversee full-cycle client books: GL clean-up, journal entries, fixed assets, multi-state payroll, quarterly and annual filings, AP/AR, and monthly financial reporting. You’ll review work, guide staff, and ensure financials are tax-ready, not tax-rescued.

Hybrid, intentional, and structured.

• $70,000 – $100,000 depending on experience
• Leadership within a CPA environment
• Direct impact on client outcomes
• Stability with long-term growth

• Strong GAAP and GL clean-up expertise
• Comfortable managing multiple clients and deadlines
• Someone who takes pride in books that reconcile the first time
