We’re seeking a highly detail-oriented and execution-driven Finance Manager to manage the day-to-day accounting operations in a fast-growing automotive startup. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on being in the weeds — reconciling numbers, managing accounting systems, supporting junior team members, and collaborating closely with the Head of Finance on all core financial tasks. You’ll be the go-to person for maintaining financial records and discipline as we scale.

Key Responsibilities

Day-to-Day Accounting Operations

• Manage the general ledger and ensure accuracy in transactional postings.
• Maintain and organize all supporting documentation for audit readiness and compliance.

Accounts Payable / Receivable

Ensure timely customer invoicing, follow-up on receivables, and maintain AR aging reports.

Reconcile supplier statements and handle discrepancies directly with vendors.

Inventory & Cost Accounting

Get hands-on with inventory tracking, cycle counts, and reconciliation of materials and WIP.

Monitor product costs and ensure accurate COGS accounting in the ERP system.

Work closely with operations to ensure BOMs and costing inputs are consistently updated and accurate.

Close Process & Reporting

Own the month-end close process : prepare adjusting entries, accruals, and reconciliations.

Deliver timely monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash reports with commentary on any issues.

Support the Head of Finance in preparing ad hoc reporting packages and internal audits.

Staff Management & Collaboration

Supervise and support junior accounting or finance staff; review daily work and provide training on best practices.

Act as the right hand to the Head of Finance in executing tasks and identifying process improvements.

Assist with onboarding new finance team members as the company scales.

Systems & Process Hygiene

Maintain the chart of accounts and accounting system configurations in the company’s ERP.

Assist in ERP data migrations, cleanup efforts, and automation projects.

Enforce internal controls and consistent documentation practices.

Familiarity with Quickbooks Online, Stripe, Hubspot, and comfortable learning new software systems.
