About the Role
Reporting to the Senior Controller, the Senior Accounting Manager will play a central role in running day-to-day accounting operations and helping build the financial infrastructure of a fast-growing consumer brand. This is a role for someone who is equal parts strategic and tactical — comfortable owning the close one day and improving a process or system the next.
You'll work closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional partners on reporting, margin improvement, operational efficiency, and compliance, while helping scale a function that can grow with the company.
What You’ll Do
- Accounting and Reporting
- Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes.
- Oversee AP, AR, payroll, inventory accounting, and general ledger management.
- Ensure the accuracy of the P&L and balance sheet, including revenue recognition, accruals, and expense mapping.
- Prepare and present monthly financial statements and analyses for key stakeholders.
- Deliver timely, accurate, GAAP-compliant reporting with clear, actionable insights.
- Systems and Process
- Build scalable systems, workflows, and documentation to support a growing and increasingly complex business.
- Leverage AI and emerging technology to build automated, efficient financial processes — from close to reporting to day-to-day operations.
- Identify opportunities to automate and improve existing accounting workflows.
- Partner with cross-functional teams (Operations, Retail, E-commerce, Wholesale) to ensure clean financial data across the business.
- Compliance and Risk
- Establish and maintain strong internal controls and risk management protocols.
- Manage audits, tax filings, and compliance reporting.
- Serve as a key point of contact for auditors, tax advisors, and financial partners.
- Support contract management, vendor terms, and compliance reporting (loans, leases, SBA, etc.).
What We’re Looking For.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA strongly preferred.
- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 3 years in a management role.
- A genuine enthusiasm for leveraging AI and technology to automate and modernize finance workflows.
- Experience in retail, consumer products, or e-commerce (DTC and wholesale a plus).
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, inventory accounting, and financial controls.
- Hands-on experience with Shopify required; Mirakl a plus.
- Advanced Excel skills; strong financial modeling and analytical capabilities.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner with senior leaders across the business.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment — willing to roll up your sleeves.
