SENIOR ACCOUNTANT

About Us

We are a rapidly growing, dynamic, contemporary apparel brand capturing global markets with style, elegance and innovation. Operating in a fast-paced retail, wholesale and e-commerce ecosystem, our finance team moves quickly to support our continued expansion. We are looking for a Senior Accountant to anchor our general ledger operations and help elevate our financial reporting infrastructure.

Position Overview

As a Senior Accountant, you will bridge the gap between transactional accounting and strategic financial reporting. You will own crucial segments of the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close processes, ensure flawless general ledger accuracy, and spearhead compliance initiatives. The ideal candidate possesses a unique blend of public accounting audit experience combined with hands-on, private industry corporate accounting experience. You must be deeply detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and highly adaptive to a fluid, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Month-End Close & General Ledger: Own the reconciliation, analysis, and maintenance of key balance sheet and income statement accounts. Prepare and post complex journal entries (including ASC 842 adjustments, reserves and intercompany transactions).
• Financial Reporting & Audit Readiness: Assist in the preparation of timely, accurate financial statements in accordance with US GAAP accounting standards. Leverage your audit background to support the Company’s annual audit, PBC requests and liaise directly with external auditors.

• Variance Analysis: Perform robust monthly flux and variance analyses on operational expenses, inventory valuations, and revenue streams to provide actionable insights to leadership.

• Process Optimization: Actively identify bottlenecks in the close cycle and implement automation or process improvements to reduce days-to-close.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Production, Operations, and HR teams to resolve accounting discrepancies and other related issues.

Required Experience & Qualifications

• 3 to 4 years of progressive accounting experience.
• The Hybrid Background (Strongly Preferred): A proven track record that includes experience in public accounting (Audit/Assurance), coupled with hands-on corporate general ledger accounting experience.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or other related field. CPA or progression toward a CPA license is a strong plus.
• Systems: Proficiency with mid-to-enterprise level ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) and advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, Index/Match). Experience in omnichannel consumer goods, retail, or apparel inventory accounting is highly advantageous.

Key Traits for Success

• Detail-Oriented: You have a sharp eye for discrepancies. You don't just find imbalances; you dig into the data to understand why they happened and how to fix them permanently.
• Exceptional Communicator: You possess strong verbal and written communication skills. You can explain complex financial concepts clearly to non-finance partners and write crisp, concise documentation.
• Deadline-Driven: You thrive under the healthy pressure of a tight close schedule. You prioritize effectively, manage your time proactively, and consistently deliver accurate work on time.
• Adaptive & Agile: You excel in a vibrant, high-growth, fast-paced environment. When priorities shift or new business models launch, you adapt quickly and keep the numbers steady.

Physical Requirements: 

• This position is a full-time role that requires frequent use of a computer, mouse, and keyboard.
• Frequent sitting.
• Occasional standing, bending, stooping, and walking.
• Must be able to lift to 25 lbs.
