The role also partners with leadership on planning activities and offers a path toward broader financial leadership over time.

Responsibilities:

• Direct the monthly and year-end close process, preparing journal entries, maintaining the general ledger, completing reconciliations, and issuing financial reports on a reliable timeline.

• Design, document, and enhance accounting procedures and internal controls to support growth and improve consistency within QuickBooks-driven workflows.

• Provide guidance and review for day-to-day work completed by accounting staff, including accounts payable and accounts receivable activities.

• Contribute to budget preparation, forecasting efforts, and financial analysis requests that help leaders make informed business decisions.

• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, and visibility across accounting operations as the organization expands. Requirements • At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience with the ability to independently manage a full set of books.

• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and accrual accounting principles; experience supporting a transition from cash to accrual accounting is beneficial.

• Background in inventory accounting within a product-based or physical goods environment, including cycle counts and physical inventory audits.

• Proficiency with month-end close, general ledger management, journal entries, account reconciliations, and bank reconciliations.

• Practical experience using QuickBooks in a growing business setting.
