Accounting & Business Operations Specialist

Looking for a company where your attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to keep things running smoothly make a real impact? Welcome to Innovative Commercial Environments (ICE SD).

We don't just furnish spaces, we create environments that shape company cultures. As San Diego's premier commercial furniture and workplace solutions partner and Teknion's exclusive regional partner, we help organizations transform the way people work, connect, and thrive. From innovative workplace design and hospitality environments to complex furniture solutions and project execution, our team brings vision to life every day.

Our mission is simple but meaningful: to provide furniture experiences that create company cultures. We are driven by Inspiration, Community, and Excellence, and we take pride in delivering exceptional design, service, and project outcomes for our clients throughout Southern California.

We're looking for an experienced Accounting & Business Operations Specialist who enjoys wearing multiple hats, thrives on organization and accuracy, and takes pride in keeping business operations running efficiently. This role is ideal for someone with a strong accounting background who also enjoys supporting people, improving processes, and being a go-to resource across the organization.

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Manage accounts payable, vendor payments, reconciliations, and other essential accounting activities.
• Support financial reporting, month-end closing, budgeting, and payroll-related processes.
• Maintain accurate financial records and help ensure timely, efficient accounting operations.
• Coordinate employee technology needs, equipment, software access, and external IT support.
• Keep day-to-day office operations running smoothly, including vendor relationships, purchasing, and administrative support.
• Support employee onboarding, offboarding, and company engagement initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and strengthen internal operations.

To Be Successful in This Role, You Must:

• Be highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Take ownership of your responsibilities and proactively identify solutions rather than waiting for direction.
• Have a strong understanding of accounting processes and a commitment to accuracy and confidentiality.
• Be resourceful and adaptable, with a willingness to support a variety of business and administrative needs.
• Communicate effectively and collaborate with employees, leadership, and external service providers.
• Be comfortable learning new technology, troubleshooting basic issues, and coordinating with IT professionals.
• Enjoy improving processes and finding better ways to get things done.

To Qualify for This Role, You Must Have:

• 5+ years of experience in accounting, business operations, or a combination of related functions.
• Hands‑on experience with accounts payable, financial transactions, vendor management, and account reconciliations.
• Strong understanding of accounting principles, financial recordkeeping, and internal controls.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365, particularly Excel and Outlook.
• Experience working with accounting software or ERP systems.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while supporting multiple departments and business priorities.
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package.
• Medical, dental, vision, life, and 401(k).
• Paid time off, including vacation and 9 paid holidays.
• Full‑time, primarily on‑site position in San Diego, with an anticipated schedule of 4–5 days per week in the office.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
• Collaborative, supportive team culture where your contributions make a difference.
• Opportunity to work across multiple areas of the business and help shape operational improvements.
