Full-Charge Bookkeeper (Bakersfield)

Full-Charge Bookkeeper
Location: Bakersfield, CA (Onsite)
Salary: $56,000 – $62,400 DOE

Join a company where your work directly supports large-scale projects and day-to-day operations. Our client is a well-established industrial construction organization in Bakersfield known for its stability, quality, and long-standing presence in the region. This is a team where accounting is not just support — it’s a key driver of operational success.

This isn’t just a bookkeeping role — it’s an opportunity to take full ownership of the accounting function, working closely with leadership while helping keep financial operations accurate, organized, and moving forward.

The Opportunity

As a Full-Charge Bookkeeper, you’ll manage the full accounting cycle while supporting construction operations. You’ll have visibility across the business and play a key role in maintaining accurate financials and supporting project-related accounting.

What You’ll Do

• 
  

  Manage full-cycle accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general bookkeeping

  
  


• 
  

  Perform month-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting

  
  


• 
  

  Maintain accurate financial records and ensure timely processing of transactions

  
  


• 
  

  Support construction accounting functions, including contracts, job costing, and WIP

  
  


• 
  

  Partner with internal teams to ensure accuracy across financial data

  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 
  

  3–5+ years of full-charge bookkeeping or accounting experience

  
  


• 
  

  Strong knowledge of QuickBooks and Excel

  
  


• 
  

  Experience managing AP/AR and month-end close independently

  
  


• 
  

  Construction or project-based accounting experience preferred

  
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• 
  

  Stable organization with consistent project flow

  
  


• 
  

  High-visibility role with ownership of the accounting function

  
  


• 
  

  Opportunity to work closely with leadership

  
  


• 
  

  Exposure to construction and project-based accounting

  
  


• 
  

  Long-term growth potential within a respected local company
