Accounting Supervisor

LHH, San Ramon, CA, United States


Overview
Employment Type: Permanent / Direct-Hire

Job Location Type: Onsite

This award-winning organization in the San Francisco Bay Area is actively interviewing for an Accounting Supervisor to lead operations as a true business partner. You will be close to the action, supported by leadership that values clean financials, smart controls, and practical insights. If you are an experienced Accounting Leader who’s ready to mentor others and level up into management track, this is the kind of challenge that keeps your work interesting.

You will join a design and operations-focused, multi-entity environment where project costing, WIP, revenue recognition, and cash flow timing matter every day. The Accounting Supervisor will report to an experienced, tenured Controller and will become the day-to-day owner of close discipline, reconciliations, and core accounting operations — all while guiding AP and AR workflows and partnering closely with project and operations teams.

Outside of work, the Accounting Supervisor gets the best of Northern California living without giving up career momentum. Think weekend access to coastline, hiking, biking, and redwood escapes, plus major sports, live entertainment, and a standout food scene. Add strong educational options and a deep professional network that supports CPA growth and long-term career mobility, and the Accounting Supervisor relocation story sells itself.
