Job Description

Pacific Crest Group is a well-established boutique Accounting and HR Consulting firm in the Bay Area with a family feel and a passion for providing excellent services to our clients. The culture at PCG is fun and collaborative, the client work is varied and interesting, and we strive to offer our employees opportunities for professional development and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

We are seeking an experienced Controller / Advanced Staff Accountant to join our team of professionals. The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who is comfortable switching between high-level oversight and day-to-day accounting tasks. This role requires someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, is adaptable to the unique needs of multiple clients across diverse industries, and is committed to both individual excellence and team collaboration.

The Controller in PCG’s world is comfortable as a client-facing guardian of the books, serving as a bridge between high-level financial planning and hands-on execution. You will navigate multiple industry-specific accounting requirements with professionalism and skill. You may supervise the work of junior accountants and must be willing and able to step in on operational accounting tasks during times of transition, high volume, or staffing gaps.

Our offices are in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in the Seattle, WA area. Most of our work is done remotely, so while we prefer to train an employee who is local to one of those areas and able to be on site on occasion, we will consider strong candidates who are farther afield.

Qualifications:

Over 5 years of work experience in advanced accounting

Superior skills in Excel, and the major accounting platforms

Proven ability to manage multiple projects across various industries

Willingness to engage in both strategic and tactical accounting work as needed

Strong project management and prioritization skills in a fast-paced environment
