Senior Staff Accountant

We're looking for a full-time, hands-on Senior Staff Accountant to join our Finance team as our first direct accounting hire in the United States. This is an opportunity to take ownership of core accounting operations, strengthen our financial foundation, and build scalable processes that support the business as it grows.

Responsibilities

• Books clean-up and remediation: review the general ledger and chart of accounts, reconcile balance sheet accounts, correct historical misclassifications and unreconciled items, and maintain a prioritized remediation plan with the Director.
• Month-end close: prepare and post journal entries, accruals, and prepaid/deferred amortization; reconcile bank, credit card, and sales-channel (Amazon, Shopify) settlement accounts; review flux and variances for the Director.
• Year-end close and audit readiness: lead preparation of year-end close schedules and supporting documentation, coordinate with outside CPA and tax advisors, and build the audit-ready support (PBC-style) binder.
• Processes and controls: document repeatable accounting procedures, approval workflows, and segregation of duties so close, reconciliation, and reporting do not depend on any one person.
• Accounts payable oversight: ensure accurate invoice coding, approvals, vendor onboarding (including W-9 and 1099 tracking), payment runs, and AP-to-GL reconciliation.
• Inventory and COGS accounting: reconcile inventory and cost of goods sold to the general ledger, and support the accounting side of any inventory/ERP system selection and implementation.
• Financial reporting: prepare the monthly financial statements package (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) and respond to Director and leadership questions on the numbers.
• Operations support: assist the Director in overseeing all day-to-day accounting operations, including sales tax and 1099 compliance support in partnership with outside advisors.

Requirements

• 5 to 10 years of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on month-end and year-end close ownership and general ledger clean-up or remediation.
• Experience in CPG, ecommerce, or multi-channel businesses preferred
• CPA or CPA-track preferred.
• US-based

Key Skills

• Month-end and year-end close with balance sheet reconciliation
• GAAP technical accounting
• Accounting and ERP systems (QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar) and advanced Excel
• Process documentation and internal controls / audit readiness
• Clear communication and oversight of AP support staff

If you're an experienced accounting professional who enjoys bringing structure to complex financial operations and building processes that scale, we'd love to hear from you.
