Part-Time Senior Accountant / Accounting & Finance Consultant

Location: San Leandro / East Bay, CA – HybridSchedule: Part-time, up to 20 hours per weekCompensation: $30-45/hour, depending on experiencePotential: Opportunity to grow into a full-time position 

About the Opportunity

Attunement Search is partnering with a growing, privately held design-build and manufacturing company in the East Bay to identify a hands-on accounting professional who can take ownership of day-to-day accounting while providing meaningful financial insight to leadership.

Our client designs, manufactures, and delivers custom residential products through an operationally complex, project-based business model.

This is not simply a bookkeeping or data-entry position.

The company is looking for someone who can keep the books accurate and current while also understanding what the numbers are saying—identifying cost overruns, spotting unnecessary spending, improving financial visibility, and helping leadership make better business decisions.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant who enjoys working closely with business owners and operations teams and wants their work to have a visible impact.

What You'll Do

• Own accounts payable and accounts receivable from end to end

• Maintain accurate, organized, and current accounting records

• Perform account and bank reconciliations

• Help ensure the books remain clean and audit-ready

• Track expenses and costs across projects and operating areas

• Monitor project and operational spending for potential cost overruns

• Identify unusual spending patterns, inefficiencies, and opportunities for savings

• Provide practical recommendations for controlling and optimizing expenses

• Assist with month-end accounting and financial reporting as needed

• Turn accounting data into useful information for company leadership

• Partner with management and operations to improve financial visibility and processes

• Take ownership of accounting issues and proactively bring forward solutions

What We're Looking For

• Strong accounting foundation with hands-on experience in AP, AR, reconciliations, and general accounting

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of the accounting function

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy

• Analytical mindset—you naturally look beyond the transaction to understand what is driving the numbers

• Ability to identify cost issues and recommend practical solutions

• Comfortable working in a growing, entrepreneurial environment where priorities can move quickly

• Proactive communication style and willingness to raise issues before they become larger problems

Preferred Background

Experience in one or more of the following environments is highly desirable:

• Construction or design-build

• Manufacturing

• Project-based businesses

• Job costing or project accounting

• Cost accounting

• Inventory, materials, or operational accounting

Previous experience as a Senior Accountant, Accounting Manager, Controller, Assistant Controller, experienced Full-Charge Bookkeeper, or similar hands-on financial professional may translate well to this opportunity.

Why This Opportunity?

This role offers considerably more ownership than a traditional part-time accounting position. You'll work closely with company leadership and have the opportunity to influence how the business manages costs, improves financial processes, and uses financial information to make decisions.

The company offers a flexible, hybrid schedule  with only 1 day a week in office in San Leandro and is initially seeking approximately 20 hours per week. As the organization continues to grow, there is potential for the position to develop into a full-time opportunity.

Compensation

$30–$45 per hour, depending on experience and the level of accounting and financial expertise you bring to the role.
