Staff Accountant | Fresno, CA

$65,000–$80,000 annually, depending on experience

If you enjoy figuring out why an account is out of balance and want to see how your work feeds into the financial statements, this role gives you that opportunity. Haystack Consultants is recruiting a Staff Accountant for a Fresno employer where you’ll work directly with the Controller, handle day-to-day payables and receivables, and play an active part in closing the books.

How you’ll contribute

• Month-end close and financial reporting. Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepaids, and adjustments. Reconcile bank and balance sheet accounts, tie AP and AR balances to the general ledger, and investigate discrepancies. Help the Controller prepare monthly financial statements, supporting schedules, and variance explanations. Assist with year-end close and audit requests.

• Accounts payable. Review and code vendor invoices, confirm approvals, match invoices to purchase orders and receiving records, and prepare payment runs. Reconcile vendor statements and resolve invoice or payment discrepancies.

• Accounts receivable. Prepare customer invoices, apply payments, reconcile customer accounts, and review aging reports. Follow up on past-due balances and research short payments, credits, and billing discrepancies.

What you’ll bring

• At least two years of accounting experience, including hands-on work with AP and AR and some experience with reconciliations, journal entries, or month-end close.

• A bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered.

• Working knowledge of accrual accounting and confidence using Excel and accounting software or an ERP system.

• The ability to manage deadlines, document your work clearly, and communicate professionally with customers, vendors, and coworkers.

What makes this opportunity worth a look

You’ll gain experience preparing financial statements while working alongside a Controller who can help you understand how the pieces fit together. The company offers medical and dental coverage, a 401(k) with company match, and paid vacation, along with a supportive, family-like workplace where people help each other get the work done.
