Position Summary

The Senior Accountant will play a key role in the monthly close, financial reporting, and operational accounting for a rapidly growing CPG business. This position combines traditional accounting responsibilities with hands-on exposure to inventory, cost of goods sold, retail deductions, and eCommerce channel activity. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and has experience with product-based businesses.

Key Responsibilities

Month-End Close & Reporting

  • Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, and accruals for key balance sheet and P&L accounts (cash, inventory, prepaid, AP, AR, revenue, and COGS).
  • Own month-end close deliverables to ensure accurate and timely financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
  • Assist in preparation of management reports, dashboards, and variance analyses.
  • Support external audits and annual financial statement preparation.

Cash & Treasury Management

  • Maintain daily cash activity records and reconcile all bank accounts, merchant processors, and credit card accounts.
  • Monitor cash inflows and outflows, including customer collections, vendor disbursements, and loan activity.
  • Prepare and update short-term cash forecasts (e.g., 13-week cash flow) to support liquidity planning.
  • Manage timing of vendor payments to align with cash flow goals and working capital targets.
  • Collaborate with leadership to optimize use of credit facilities.
  • Ensure accurate classification of cash transactions within the GL and timely identification of reconciling items.
  • Inventory & Cost Accounting

  • Reconcile inventory balances between 3PL, inventory management and accounting systems.
  • Maintain average costs buildups based on inventory receipts, work orders and adjustments.
  • Partner with operations to ensure accurate COGS reporting and margin analysis.
  • Revenue & Retail Accounting

  • Reconcile and post eCommerce sales (Amazon, Shopify, etc.) and retail channels (Target, Walmart, distributors).
  • Monitor chargebacks, co-op advertising, promotional allowances, and deduction activity.
  • Work cross-functionally with Sales and Operations to resolve disputes and ensure proper revenue recognition.
  • General Ledger & Compliance

  • Maintain fixed asset register and record depreciation, lease amortization, and other recurring entries.
  • Implement process improvements and internal controls to strengthen financial accuracy and efficiency.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (or equivalent accounting expertise).
  • 3-5 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within a CPG, manufacturing, or inventory-based environment.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP, accrual accounting, and financial reporting.
  • Experience with accounting systems (NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks, or similar).
  • Proficiency in Excel; comfortable with pivot tables, lookups, and reconciliations.
  • Excellent attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a growing, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Background in consumer products, cosmetics, or similar product categories.
  • Exposure to eCommerce platforms (Amazon Seller Central, Shopify) and retail deduction management tools.
  • Familiarity with multi-state sales tax, freight / inbound logistics accounting, and cost-per-unit analysis.
  • Experience supporting audits or private-equity-backed reporting environments.
  • To apply for this role, please email a non chatGPT paragraph of why you would be a good fit for this role, and your resume to jess@mycarpe.com and david@mycarpe.com. Emailing us is the only way to qualify!
