Senior Accounting Manager
About the Role Reporting to the Senior Controller, the Senior Accounting Manager will play a central role in running day-to-day accounting operations and helping build the financial infrastructure of a fast-growing consumer brand. This is a role for someone who is equal parts strategic and tactical — comfortable owning the close one day and improving a process or system the next. You'll work closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional partners on reporting, margin improvement, operational efficiency, and compliance, while helping scale a function that can grow with the company. What You’ll Do Accounting and Reporting Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes. Oversee AP, AR, payroll, inventory accounting, and general ledger management. Ensure the accuracy of the P&L and balance sheet, including revenue recognition, accruals, and expense mapping. Prepare and present monthly financial statements and analyses for key stakeholders. Deliver timely, accurate, GAAP-compliant reporting with clear, actionable insights. Systems and Process Build scalable systems, workflows, and documentation to support a growing and increasingly complex business. Leverage AI and emerging technology to build automated, efficient financial processes — from close to reporting to day-to-day operations. Identify opportunities to automate and improve existing accounting workflows. Partner with cross-functional teams (Operations, Retail, E-commerce, Wholesale) to ensure clean financial data across the business. Compliance and Risk Establish and maintain strong internal controls and risk management protocols. Manage audits, tax filings, and compliance reporting. Serve as a key point of contact for auditors, tax advisors, and financial partners. Support contract management, vendor terms, and compliance reporting (loans, leases, SBA, etc.). What We’re Looking For . Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA strongly preferred. 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 3 years in a management role. A genuine enthusiasm for leveraging AI and technology to automate and modernize finance workflows. Experience in retail, consumer products, or e-commerce (DTC and wholesale a plus). Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, inventory accounting, and financial controls. Hands-on experience with Shopify required; Mirakl a plus. Advanced Excel skills; strong financial modeling and analytical capabilities. Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner with senior leaders across the business. Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment — willing to roll up your sleeves.
