The Role

Where most teams see a spreadsheet, Paramount sees opportunity, and this Senior Accountant role in Downey, CA is where that opportunity gets quantified. The pitch is honest — $122,000 - $190,000, real ownership of finance outcomes, and a Paramount crew in Downey that has your back.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lean on CPA Certification and People Management to automate what used to be manual
  • Flag variance the moment it appears, not after the quarter closes
  • Own grant compliance so Paramount never returns a restricted dollar
  • Translate People Management dashboards into plain language for non-finance leaders
  • Sit beside the Downey controller on accruals, deferrals, and journal entries
  • Own the Accountability-to-Fixed Assets handoff so reporting never stalls between teams

What You'll Bring

  • Solid Liquidity Management grounding, plus IFRS you can pick up on the fly
  • Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
  • CPA Certification fundamentals plus the People Management polish clients notice
  • Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener

Trusted by businesses nationwide, Paramount operates an autonomy-driven finance platform from its Downey base. We believe the best finance decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

Our $122,000 - $190,000 package travels with real mentorship, a growth ladder you can see, and the flexibility to clock in from Downey or home.

New applicants this week join a hiring cycle that is already in motion.

If you're looking for genuinely-flexible work that matters, apply to Paramount today.
