The company is in an exciting phase of growth and operational improvement, with increasing complexity across multiple business channels, inventory, manufacturing, and reporting. This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants a broader accounting role than a traditional general ledger position. The role reports directly to the Controller and gains exposure to month‑end close, inventory, lender reporting, trade spend, fixed assets, and cross‑functional business support. Position Overview The Accounting Manager will play a key role in supporting the monthly close, financial reporting, reconciliations, accruals, and operational accounting needs of the business. This person will also support weekly borrowing base reporting, trade spend and deduction analysis, fixed asset accounting, and inventory‑related reporting. Key Responsibilities Support month‑end close, including journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, and financial reporting. Prepare and maintain balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules. Support weekly borrowing base reporting using inventory and accounts receivable data. Review borrowing base schedules, research exceptions, and ensure reporting accuracy for lender requirements. Calculate and analyze trade spend deductions, accruals, and related customer program activity. Research variances and communicate with Sales and other internal teams to resolve questions around customer programs and deductions. Manage fixed asset accounting, including additions, disposals, depreciation, and related reconciliations. Maintain construction‑in‑progress schedules and coordinate with Operations on asset‑related activity. Support inventory‑related accounting, reporting, and analysis. Assist with intercompany accounting, reconciliations, and related reporting. Partner cross‑functionally with Sales, Operations, Finance, and Accounting. Help improve accounting processes, reporting accuracy, documentation, and internal controls. Support ad hoc reporting and special projects as the company continues to grow. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. 4+ years of progressive accounting experience. Strong month‑end close experience, including journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, and reporting support. Strong understanding of fundamental accounting principles. Experience in a CPG, food and beverage, manufacturing, distribution, or inventory‑based business strongly preferred. Strong Excel skills and comfort working with detailed reporting models, schedules, and reconciliations. Ability to research exceptions, identify issues, and follow through to resolution. Strong attention to detail, ownership, and accountability. Comfortable working in a hands‑on, evolving environment. Strong communication skills and ability to work with cross‑functional teams. Ability to work a hybrid schedule in North County San Diego. #J-18808-Ljbffr
