Job Title: Accounting Manager

Location: Remote

Compensation: ~$110-130K base + ~10% bonus

Position Overview

High-impact, hands-on accounting leadership role within a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment. This position plays a critical role in driving accounting compliance, internal controls, audit readiness, and operational effectiveness across the organization.

This is a highly visible role requiring a "roll up your sleeves" mindset-ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments and enjoys solving complex problems with limited structure.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and maintain accounting compliance and internal control frameworks

  • Oversee and support month-end close, accruals, reconciliations, and financial reporting

  • Manage and coordinate the annual external audit process

  • Drive process improvements, automation, and scalability initiatives

  • Support and/or lead ERP enhancements and system implementations (NetSuite or similar)

  • Partner cross-functionally with operations, including inventory and field teams

  • Support inventory controls and cycle counts, including occasional travel if needed

  • Assist with M&A integration, process design, and ad hoc accounting initiatives

  • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, including use of automation tools

  • Serve as a go-to resource for gaps across the accounting function in a lean team

Qualifications

  • ~8+ years of progressive accounting experience (corporate accounting, compliance, audit)

  • Strong knowledge of:

  • Month-end close processes

  • Financial reporting

  • Internal controls

  • Audit management

  • Prior audit experience (public accounting or industry) required

  • Advanced Excel skills and ERP system experience

  • Proven ability to manage projects (audit, ERP, process improvements)

  • Experience in inventory-heavy, logistics, or fulfillment environments preferred

  • Background in startup or high-growth environments strongly preferred

What We're Looking For

  • Highly resourceful, self-driven professional who can operate with minimal direction

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving, and sometimes ambiguous environment

  • Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills

  • Willingness to get hands-on across both technical and operational accounting

  • Collaborative and team-oriented, with strong cross-functional communication skills

  • Curious mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and efficiency

Pay Details: $110,000.00 to $130,000.00 per year
