Pay: $26.00 to $28.00 per hour
Job Type: Temp-to-Hire
Schedule: Full-Time
About the Opportunity:
A well-established, vertically integrated fresh-produce company is seeking an Accounting Associate to join its accounting team in Compton, CA. This is a newly created position supporting a small, experienced, and long-tenured accounting team.
The ideal candidate is reliable, detail-oriented, hardworking, and team-focused, with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build or expand their accounting experience in a hands-on environment.
The role will initially have a strong focus on grower settlement data entry and processing, so candidates should be comfortable performing repetitive, detail-sensitive work with a high degree of accuracy. Over time, there may be opportunities to take on additional accounting responsibilities.
What You'll Do:
- Enter and process grower settlement information accurately and efficiently
- Perform high-volume data entry and 10-key functions
- Review information for accuracy, completeness, and discrepancies
- Maintain organized accounting records and documentation
- Assist with accounts payable and accounts receivable activities as needed
- Support the accounting team with reconciliations and other administrative accounting tasks
- Work closely with team members to ensure transactions are processed accurately and on time
- Follow established accounting procedures and internal processes
- Take on additional accounting responsibilities as you become familiar with the business and systems
What We're Looking For
- Spanish-speaking required
- Strong data-entry skills with excellent accuracy and attention to detail
- Comfortable with high-volume, repetitive data entry
- Strong 10-key skills
- Reliable, dependable, and committed to completing work accurately and on time
- Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
- Positive attitude and team-oriented approach
- Comfortable working in a small, close-knit accounting department
- Willingness to begin with grower settlement entry rather than immediately taking on broad staff accounting responsibilities
- Basic Microsoft Excel skills
Nice to Have
- Experience in produce, agriculture, food distribution, import, freight, wholesale, or a related industry
- Previous experience with accounts payable or accounts receivable
- Experience processing settlements or similar high-volume transactions
- Exposure to an accounting or ERP system
- Previous experience working in a small accounting or finance department
If you're dependable, detail-oriented, hardworking, and enjoy being part of a team, we'd like to hear from you.
