Role Overview

We're looking for an experienced Staff Accountant with 3-5 years of hands-on accounting experience to handle day-to-day financial operations for a multi-entity, multi-currency global business. You'll report directly to our Director of Finance and own full-cycle accounting: AP/AR, bank and credit card reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close support. This isn't a desk-in-the-corner data-entry job. You'll work across multiple entities spanning four countries, reconcile transactions in multiple currencies, and have direct visibility into how a fast-moving e-commerce operation runs financially. If you're the kind of person who digs into discrepancies until they're resolved and looks for ways to make the close faster and cleaner, you'll thrive here.

• Record financial transactions including cash receipts, vendor invoices, and customer payments across multiple entities
• Maintain the general ledger: post journal entries, categorize transactions, and ensure accuracy across entities and currencies
• Manage data entry in accounting software with high attention to detail and timeliness
• Maintain organized digital filing systems for financial records

Accounts Payable & Receivable

• Process vendor invoices end-to-end: verify coding and approvals, enter into the accounting system, and ensure timely payment
• Record customer payments and deposits, matching to open invoices across multiple sales channels
• Reconcile customer and vendor accounts, investigate discrepancies, and drive resolution
• Manage collections on overdue accounts: identify, communicate, and resolve

• Build and maintain expense reports and budget tracking
• Identify patterns in reconciliation exceptions and propose process changes to eliminate recurring issues
• Surface opportunities to automate or streamline accounting workflows and collaborate on building solutions
• Work directly with our tech team to spin up tools that accelerate the accounting function
• Generate ad hoc analyses for management as the business requires

Month-End Close & Compliance

• Support month-end close by preparing transaction details, reconciliations, and supporting schedules
• Assist with payroll processing, including data entry and verification
• Maintain organized records for audit and tax preparation
• Ensure compliance with company policies and financial regulations
• Support year-end tax filing and audit processes

Growth & Career Path

This role has a clear trajectory for someone who performs:

• Own the month-end close: grow into increasing responsibility as you build expertise and trust
• Expand into financial analysis: help build the reporting and analysis capability for a scaling global business
• Shape process improvement: surface reconciliation issues, identify root causes, and work with our tech team to build automated solutions

• Cross-functional impact: work directly with Operations, Logistics, and IT leadership on financial operations that touch every part of the business

You'll have real input into how finance operates, and access to the tools and team to actually make improvements happen.
