Full-Charge Bookkeeper (Bakersfield)

CFS
Bakersfield, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/14/2026
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

If you’re looking for a role where you can own the numbers, support operations, and make an impact, this is a strong next step.

Timing is everything. Whether you’re actively exploring or open to the right opportunity, we’d welcome the chance to connect. Many of our roles are not posted publicly—reach out to learn more.
