About the Role

As an Accounting Analyst, you'll help run the monthly close and keep our books accurate across a business that sells through Amazon (1P and 3P), Walmart, Target Plus, Shopify, and wholesale. You'll own reconciliations, inventory accounting, and balance sheet analysis under US GAAP, and you'll support our external auditors and lenders with clean, reviewable support.

What You'll Do

Month-End Close & US GAAP

• Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepaids, deferrals, and reclassifications in accordance with US GAAP
• Own assigned close tasks against a defined close calendar and deliver on schedule
• Apply revenue recognition (ASC 606) principles to marketplace and wholesale channels, including gross-vs-net presentation of marketplace fees, chargebacks, coop, and allowances
• Prepare supporting schedules and deliverables for external auditors

Inventory Accounting

• Reconcile inventory across locations and channels, 3PL warehouses, Amazon FBA, and in-transit, to the general ledger, and investigate variances to root cause
• Maintain landed cost build-up (product cost, freight, duty, tariffs, drayage) and support excess and slow-moving reserves
• Execute receipts, transfer and other inventory transactions

Balance Sheet Analysis

• Prepare monthly account reconciliations for all assigned balance sheet accounts with clear, reviewable support
• Perform flux and trend analysis on balance sheet and P&L accounts, explaining the drivers behind the movement
• Identify and clear unreconciled items, stale balances, and misclassifications, and propose corrections

Process Improvement

• Document existing accounting processes and identify manual steps, control gaps, and single points of failure
• Automate recurring data pulls and reconciliations (Excel/Google Sheets, SQL/BigQuery, or comparable tooling)
• Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, and Marketplace teams to improve upstream data quality feeding the GL
• Recommend and help implement internal control improvements

What We're Looking For

• 2–5 years of accounting experience, including full-cycle month-end close
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• Working knowledge of US GAAP, including inventory and revenue recognition
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, lookups, large-volume data)
• Experience with Quickbooks
• Accuracy, ownership, and follow-through on recurring deadlines

Compensation: starts at 2.5K monthly
