Job Description Want to work for a Company that puts you first?! At Optima Office our people are the most important asset. Optima Office was voted fastest growing company by the San Diego Business Journal and inc 5000, as well as a BEST PLACE TO WORK by multiple publications since 2020!! Let us show you why! Optima Office is a female owned company that provides Outsourced Accounting, Fractional CFO and COO services along with Human Resources Support. We serve over 300 companies across the United States but are mostly focused on the West Coast. We are a fast-growing company who continues to add clients and team members at a steady pace. In 2022 we were the 10th fastest growing company in San Diego. Our Vision as a company is to have the highest retention with our clients and employees in the industry. Happy Staff = Happy Clients has been our founder’s motto for a decade. Half of the company’s profits get paid out as bonuses to the team and for fun company events. We built our team with a different vision in mind. As we assembled our group of top-tier recruiters and HR professionals, we quickly realized something: there’s an incredible pool of skilled, experienced talent that’s often overlooked—not because of a lack of ability, but because of a need for flexibility. We saw individuals who were ready to contribute at a high level but needed work that could coexist with family commitments, caregiving responsibilities, or simply a desire for a healthier work/life balance. So, we embraced a different model—one that prioritizes results over rigid schedules and values people as whole humans, not just professionals. Today, our team includes parents, grandparents, career pivoters, and seasoned experts—all thriving in a flexible, remote/hybrid environment. And the outcome? A business that doesn’t just function—it flourishes. We’re proud to say we were championing flexibility, balance, and remote/ hybrid work long before it became a necessity. And we’ll continue to prove that when people are supported, they bring their best—at work and at home. We have a huge emphasis on work-life balance and provide a flexible environment which allows our team to choose their own schedule. Over half of our 100 employees are working parents who value flexibility and family time. “I love working for Optima!
