POSTED ON 9/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/28/2026
Memphis, TN | $60,000-$80,000

A rapidly growing consumer products company headquartered in Memphis is adding an Accounting Associate to its finance team.

The company is experiencing significant growth across its brands, sales and operations and is investing in its accounting infrastructure ahead of continued expansion. This is an opportunity to join a fast-moving, entrepreneurial organization, work directly with its Director of Accounting & Finance, and grow your responsibilities as the business scales.

This is a full-time, in-office position in Memphis.

What You’ll Do

  • Support day-to-day accounting activities, including AP/AR, general ledger entries and account reconciliations
  • Assist with month-end close and financial reporting
  • Process payments, receipts, deposits and other accounting transactions
  • Maintain accurate financial data across accounting systems
  • Assist with recurring state and regulatory filings, licenses and renewals
  • Support inventory-related accounting transactions and data entry
  • Help strengthen accounting processes, controls and workflows
  • Provide additional accounting and financial support as the company continues to grow

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field
  • Approximately 2-5 years of accounting or finance experience
  • Solid understanding of general accounting principles
  • Experience with general ledger accounting, reconciliations and month-end close
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Comfortable working with accounting/ERP systems
  • Organized, accurate and dependable
  • Willing to remain hands-on with transactional and detail-oriented accounting work
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative personality
  • Comfortable working in a growing, entrepreneurial environment where priorities can evolve

Especially Valuable

  • NetSuite experience
  • Experience with inventory accounting or an inventory-based business
  • Consumer products, distribution, manufacturing or related industry experience
  • Experience managing recurring regulatory or compliance filings

Candidates with deeper NetSuite expertise, including reporting, configuration or advanced functionality, are also encouraged to apply and may be considered at a higher level.

Why Consider It?

This isn't a large corporate accounting department where your responsibilities are narrowly defined. You'll work closely with the finance leader and have visibility across a growing business.

The immediate need is for someone who can take ownership of core accounting activities and execute them well. As the company launches new initiatives and continues to expand, there should be opportunities for the position to evolve with the organization.

Compensation: $60,000-$80,000, with potential flexibility based on experience and NetSuite expertise.

Location: Memphis, TN - in-office position.

Salary : $60,000 - $80,000
