Riverside University Health System (RUHS) - Medical Center is seeking a qualified Accountant I/II to join the Fiscal/Purchasing Team in Riverside.

The Accountant I/II performs professional accounting duties in support of departmental and organizational financial operations. This role is responsible for reconciling capital asset accounts, completing capital asset certifications, and ensuring the accurate recording and reporting of asset activity. The position reviews journal entries and budget projections for accuracy and compliance with established policies and procedures, as well as reviews departmental accounts to ensure expenditures and revenues are appropriate and properly classified. The Accountant I/II assists with monthly and annual financial close processes, including preparing and reviewing supporting schedules and documentation. The role assigns and reviews requisitions for journal entries, responds to information requests from internal and external auditors, and supports year-end activities such as inventory counts and financial reporting tasks.

The most competitive candidates will have previous experience working with PeopleSoft Financials, prior experience reconciling capital assets preferably within a healthcare agency, and experience collecting pertinent accounting data for financial reporting.

Requirements
To ensure compliance with the educational requirements for this position, please submit one of the following documents (applications lacking this information will not be considered):
