About This Role

We are hiring a Senior Accountant (CPG & eCommerce) for a fast-growing consumer products brand.

This is a highly autonomous role for someone who can independently own the monthly close process, maintain accurate financial reporting, improve accounting operations, and provide leadership with financial information they can trust.

This is not a task-based bookkeeping role. We are looking for someone who can think critically, identify issues before they become problems, improve processes, and take ownership of the accounting function with minimal oversight.

The ideal candidate combines strong accounting fundamentals with experience in inventory-based businesses, consumer products, manufacturing, or eCommerce environments.
