Accountant - Reporting directly to Ownership (NO REMOTE OPTION)

West Coast Imports, Inc.
Commerce, CA, US
Posted Jun 2, 2026
READ THIS FIRST This is not a large corporate accounting department. You will be the only person in the accounting department besides ownership. There is no layered structure. This is a small wholesale company where you will be directly responsible for accounting execution. Your backup is ownership. If you are looking for a narrow “accounts payable only” role where you handle one repetitive task, this is not that job. You will touch multiple areas of the accounting function and grow into more responsibility over time. What This Role Actually Is We are a wholesale importer with active inventory, daily transactions, and operational complexity. You will support and eventually manage core accounting functions, including: Accounts payable Accounts receivable General ledger maintenance Bank reconciliations Inventory\-related accounting Month\-end closing support You are not joining a department — you are becoming the accounting function alongside ownership. Responsibility increases as you demonstrate capability. What Success Looks Like Accurate reconciliations Clean general ledger Organized documentation No missed payables No unexplained discrepancies Proactive communication when issues arise Small errors impact real cash flow. Precision matters. Daily Responsibilities Process and verify AP and AR transactions Maintain accurate GL entries Perform bank and account reconciliations Assist with month\-end close Track inventory\-related financial activity Process vendor invoices and expense reports Prepare internal financial summaries Maintain organized, audit\-ready documentation You are expected to identify inconsistencies — not ignore them. Required Skills \& Mindset (Non\-Negotiable) 2\+ years of accounting experience Experience handling both AP and AR Strong understanding of accounting fundamentals Strong numerical reasoning ability High level of computer literacy Excel proficiency (formulas, structured worksheets, basic analysis) Detail\-oriented and analytical thinker Comfortable working independently Comfortable receiving direct feedback This role requires someone comfortable working with numbers daily and confident in navigating financial data. Growth Structure You will begin with core accounting responsibilities. As you demonstrate reliability and accuracy, responsibilities expand into: Inventory analysis Financial reporting Cash flow monitoring Expanded closing duties This role grows with performance. Who This Is NOT For Someone who struggles with numbers Someone who rushes through financial details Someone who needs constant oversight Someone who avoids ownership Someone who takes correction personally Who Thrives Here Analytical Structured Detail\-focused Calm under pressure Comfortable being accountable Interested in long\-term growth Schedule \& Compensation Monday – Friday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM In office only $26/hour 401(k) with 4% match 100% Company PAID Health insurance Paid sick time Paid holidays Application Requirement When applying, include: A brief explanation of your reconciliation experience.

When are you available for a call? ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED FOR THE RESUME TO BE CONSIDERED\\ If hired today, when could you start? Are you confident you can manage an accounting department as the only person in it? Kindly note that you will be the only person in the department, aside from the owner.
