• Review reconciliations and supporting workpapers prepared by junior and staff accountants, providing clear feedback and guidance.
• Analyze financial results, investigate significant variances, and prepare schedules and analyses that support financial statements and management reporting.
• Maintain and review schedules for prepaid expenses, accruals, fixed assets, inventory, and other balance-sheet accounts.
• Support inventory reconciliations, reserve analysis, revenue analysis, and cost-of-sales analysis within assigned areas.
• Review cash, credit-card, payment-processor, and sales reconciliations across e-commerce, retail, and restaurant and bar operations.
• Research differences between the general ledger, operating systems, and third-party platforms; coordinate with the appropriate teams to resolve them.
• Support accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales and excise tax accounting, audits, and requests from external accountants and tax advisors.
• Improve accounting procedures and internal controls, support ERP and reporting projects, and assist with other accounting analyses and projects as needed.

What you will bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is preferred. A CPA designation or progress toward CPA certification is a plus.
• Approximately four to five years of progressive accounting experience, including general ledger accounting and month-end and year-end close. Candidates with additional relevant experience are welcome.
• Strong knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), with experience preparing and reviewing journal entries and account reconciliations.
• Strong Excel skills and experience using an ERP or accounting system.
• Ability to work independently, investigate accounting issues, exercise sound judgment, and meet competing deadlines.
• Clear communication, careful attention to detail, and the ability to explain accounting issues and protect confidential financial information.
• Preferred experience
• NetSuite or a similar ERP platform, plus advanced Excel formulas, pivot tables, and lookups.
• Retail, e-commerce, distribution, hospitality, or another business with significant inventory.
• Inventory accounting, multi-entity accounting, sales or excise tax, or experience mentoring and reviewing the work of other accountants.
