Accounting Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accounting manager in California?
The most direct path is earning a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, then gaining several years of progressive experience in roles like senior accountant or accounting supervisor before stepping into management. While no state license is required to hold the title, most California employers strongly prefer or require a CPA credential issued or recognized by the California Board of Accountancy, which administers the Uniform CPA Examination in the state.
Which companies hire accounting managers in California?
Employers hiring accounting managers in California right now include KPMG, SingerLewak LLP, and WEAVER, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of technology headquarters, entertainment studios, and large health systems means accounting manager openings appear across a broader range of industries here than in most other states.
Which California cities have the most accounting manager jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose have the most accounting manager openings in California. The distribution follows the state's major business hubs: the Bay Area is driven by technology and venture-backed companies, Los Angeles by entertainment, media, and healthcare, and San Diego by biotech and defense contractors, each of which maintains sizable in-house finance teams requiring experienced accounting management.
Are there remote accounting manager jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 24% of accounting manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how much of the role centers on financial systems, reporting, and analysis rather than physical presence. The most remote-friendly parts of the role are close management and consolidations, while positions that oversee accounts payable or payroll teams are more likely to require on-site time.
How can I get hired as a accounting manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving up through a staff or senior accountant role at a California company or regional public accounting firm, using that experience to build the close, reporting, and supervisory skills that managers need. Large California employers like Kaiser Permanente and technology firms in the Bay Area regularly hire new graduates into structured rotational finance programs that develop management-ready candidates. Earning or sitting for the CPA exam through the California Board of Accountancy gives candidates a clear credential edge when applying for their first management role.
Where can I find and apply to accounting manager jobs in California?
