Sr. Accountant

Title: Senior Accountant

Reports to: Controller

Level: Senior individual contributor with review and mentorship responsibility; not currently a people manager

Review role: Second-stage reviewer for senior and staff accountants (preparer first-pass review happens before it reaches this role).

Close cadence: Team operates on a 5-business-day close cycle, with this role expected to complete assigned areas within the first 4 days

About the role

We're looking for a senior accountant who wants to own the work, not just execute it. You'll take full responsibility for a complex set of balance sheet and income statement accounts, work directly with the Controller, and serve as a key contributor on a team that is actively building with automation and AI-assisted workflows and tools.

This role is a strong fit for someone who can verify data independently — not just rely on what a tool tells them — and who finds the underlying problem in a reconciliation rather than just flagging the variance.

What you'll own

Monthly close — balance sheet

• Fixed asset and intangible asset reconciliations, including depreciation and amortization schedules
• Inventory accounting: in-transit, landed cost, reserves (obsolescence, shrink, NRV)
• Clearing account reconciliations
• Bank and credit card reconciliations (typically reviewed rather than prepared)

Monthly close — accrued liabilities

• Purchases, freight, duty, and tariff accruals (anchored to inventory receipts)
• Royalty accruals
• Commission accruals (typically reviewed rather than prepared)

Monthly close — D2C

• Reconciliation of D2C revenue, settlements, and payment processor activity across high transaction volume
• Marketplace reconciliations (Amazon, Shopify, Faire, Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
• D2C rebate and promotional accrual support

Monthly close — tax & compliance

• Sales tax balance sheet reconciliations
• Tax engine reconciliation/support (Avalara, TaxJar, Anrok, etc.)
• Commercial Rent Tax and indirect tax accruals
• Support external tax preparers with corporate, franchise, and state filings

Intercompany and multi-entity

• Intercompany reconciliations across entities
• Foreign currency revaluation (where applicable)
• Consolidation support

Review responsibilities

• Second-stage review of staff and senior accountant work
• Technical and judgment-level coaching, not just arithmetic checks
• Setting documentation and review-trail standards

Outside of close

• Year-end audit support: PBC requests, workpapers, schedules
• Annual field exam support for the bank credit line audit
• Own and maintain SOPs for all assigned accounts and the close process
• Identify and drive NetSuite and process improvements
• Maintain a strong understanding of how data flows from NetSuite into automation and AI tooling, and validate data integrity rather than relying on system outputs blindly
• Special projects: acquisition integration, system migrations, automation rollouts

Must-haves

• 5-8 years of accounting experience with full close ownership of multiple complex accounts
• Direct-to-consumer eCommerce reconciliation experience — credit card heavy, high transaction volume
• Sales tax balance sheet experience (not just compliance filing)
• Strong reconciliation judgment — finds the root cause, doesn't just flag the variance
• Strong operational mindset — able to work cross-functionally with operations, sales, and supply chain teams to resolve accounting and process issues in a fast-moving environment
• Comfort with automation and AI tooling, paired with strong independent data verification skills
• Working knowledge of US GAAP
• Review experience — has signed off on more junior work and provided meaningful technical feedback
• ERP fluency — able to navigate large ERP environments independently and understand upstream/downstream data flow impacts

Nice-to-haves

• Multi-entity accounting experience
• Foreign currency and intercompany experience for international entities
• NetSuite and QuickBooks experience
• Acquisition integration experience
• Exposure to close automation / AI tools (Claude cowork)
• Tax provision support experience
• Inventory-heavy industry tenure: consumer goods, wholesale, manufacturing, 3PL

Growth path

• Growth path includes expanded ownership across subsidiaries, close leadership responsibilities, process automation initiatives, and potential future people management opportunities as the team scales.

Ideal Background

• Experience in a consumer goods, wholesale, or D2C environment
• Experience supporting multiple subsidiaries/entities
• Strong understanding of inventory accounting, landed cost, and related accruals
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where processes are still evolving, and continuous improvement is expected
