Full-Charge Bookkeeper

CFS
Bakersfield, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 7/16/2026 CLOSED ON 8/14/2026

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Full-Charge Bookkeeper position at CFS?

Location: Bakersfield, CA (Onsite)

Salary: $60,000 – $75,000 DOE

Join a growing professional services company where your expertise keeps the business running smoothly. Our client is a well-established organization known for its collaborative culture, financial stability, and commitment to excellence. They're looking for a Full-Charge Bookkeeper who enjoys taking ownership of the accounting function and being a trusted resource for leadership.

This is more than a bookkeeping role. You'll oversee the full accounting cycle, support financial reporting, and play a key role in helping leadership make informed business decisions.

The Opportunity

As a Full-Charge Bookkeeper, you'll manage day-to-day accounting operations while ensuring financial records are accurate, organized, and up to date. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment and enjoys wearing multiple hats.

What You'll Do

  • Manage the full accounting cycle, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and bank reconciliations
  • Prepare journal entries, maintain the general ledger, and assist with month-end close
  • Process payroll and maintain accurate employee and vendor records
  • Prepare financial reports and support budgeting and cash flow management
  • Work closely with leadership to improve accounting processes and maintain compliance

What We're Looking For

  • 5 years of full-charge bookkeeping or accounting experience
  • Strong knowledge of QuickBooks or similar accounting software
  • Experience with payroll, reconciliations, and month-end close
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High-visibility role with ownership of the accounting function
  • Opportunity to work directly with company leadership
  • Stable organization with a collaborative, team-oriented culture
  • Broad exposure across accounting, payroll, and financial reporting

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, make an impact, and become an integral part of a growing organization, this could be the right 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.
