Alliance Resource Group is partnering
exclusively with a fast-growing beauty and personal care company to identify a Senior Accountant with strong experience across inventory, COGS and the accounting complexities of a physical-product business.
This is a hands-on role reporting closely to the Controller and offers the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of inventory accounting while also providing analysis around COGS, gross margin and operational performance.
The company operates across multiple sales channels, creating an environment where inventory accuracy, strong reconciliations and the ability to understand what's driving margin are increasingly important as the business scales.
What You'll Do
Own key aspects of inventory and COGS accounting
Perform inventory reconciliations and roll-forwards
Support month-end close, journal entries and balance-sheet reconciliations
Analyze COGS, gross margin and inventory-related variances
Investigate discrepancies across inventory systems, warehouses and fulfillment partners
Support inventory reserves, adjustments and obsolescence analysis
Partner with accounting, finance, operations and supply-chain teams
Help improve inventory controls, reporting and accounting processes
Analyze inventory and margin trends and identify potential issues
Support an increasingly complex multi-channel consumer-products business
What We're Looking For
Approximately 4+ years of accounting experience
Strong hands-on experience with inventory accounting and COGS
Experience supporting or owning month-end close
Strong balance-sheet reconciliation skills
Ability to analyze large data sets and investigate discrepancies
Advanced Excel skills
Experience working within an ERP environment
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Comfortable working in a fast-growing environment where processes continue to evolve
Preferred Background
Experience within a physical-product business is strongly preferred, including:
Beauty / Personal Care / Cosmetics
Consumer Products / CPG
Food & Beverage
Apparel
E-commerce
Retail / Wholesale
Consumer Electronics
Other inventory-intensive businesses
Experience with
DTC, Amazon, wholesale/retail, 3PLs or other multi-channel environments would be particularly valuable.
Why Consider It?
This is an opportunity to join a growing consumer brand at a point where inventory, COGS and gross-margin visibility are becoming increasingly important to the business.
Rather than being one piece of a large accounting organization, this person will have the opportunity to become a key resource around
inventory and cost accounting, partner directly with leadership and help improve processes as the company continues to scale.
