Senior Accounting Analyst

HF Foods Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HFFG), headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a leading distributor of international foodservice solutions to Asian restaurants and other businesses across the United States. With 15 distribution centers strategically located throughout the nation, HF Foods Group aims to supply the increasing demand for Asian American restaurant cuisine. Position Summary The Senior Accounting Analyst serves as the dedicated finance partner for two of the Company's operating subsidiaries. The primary focus of this role is business analysis rather than transaction processing. The person in this seat is expected to develop deep working knowledge of how these two businesses actually operate — their cost structure, margin drivers, operational workflows, customer and vendor dynamics, and the constraints they face — and to translate that understanding into analysis that informs decisions at both the entity and corporate level. This is a hands-on role in a lean corporate finance organization. While the majority of the position is analytical, the successful candidate will be someone who is comfortable moving between analysis and core accounting execution as circumstances require. During close, audit, system conversion, coverage gaps, or periods of elevated workload, this role will be expected to support general ledger activity directly, including account reconciliations, journal entries, and close support. We are looking for a professional who sees that flexibility as part of the job rather than an exception to it.
