Job description

We're looking for a Senior Accountant (AI-Native) to own the full accounting function for a fast-scaling premium food brand sold through major retail, the natural channel, and direct to consumer. You will bring day-to-day accounting in house from an outside firm, run the monthly close end to end, own the general ledger and financial statements, lead deduction and chargeback recovery, and build the dashboards and automated workflows that give management real-time visibility into the business.

This is a genuinely technology-forward role. You will use Claude every day, build live dashboards from scratch, and run a cloud finance stack with discipline and ownership. CPG inventory reconciliation experience is a hard requirement — you need to understand how inventory moves through a food brand, how it hits the books, and how to reconcile it accurately across multiple locations and channels. If you bring strong full-cycle depth, US GAAP experience, CPG or food and beverage background, real Claude proficiency, and genuine enthusiasm for building finance infrastructure with AI, this role is a strong fit.

Why You'll Want to Join

• You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
• Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
• This role requires availability during US business hours
• Own the entire accounting function of a fast-growing premium food brand with major retail and DTC distribution
• Real room to grow as the company scales, up to running the whole system independently

What You'll Work On

Full-Cycle Accounting and Monthly Close

• Run the monthly, quarterly, and annual close on a proactive, tight calendar with no chasing and no surprises
• Own AP, AR, bank and credit card reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and intercompany entries
• Keep an accurate, reconciled balance sheet and a clear, timely income statement with variance commentary management can act on
• Work with the outside firm to internalize their work and steadily take full ownership

CPG Inventory Reconciliation

• Reconcile inventory across finished goods, raw materials, and packaging across multiple locations and channels
• Track inventory movements from purchase through production, warehousing, and sale and ensure every movement is accurately reflected in the books
• Investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies between the ledger, warehouse records, and third-party systems
• Build and maintain inventory reporting that gives management real-time visibility into stock levels, valuation, and COGS

Revenue Recognition and Financial Statements

• Apply US GAAP revenue recognition for CPG and FMCG including gross-to-net, trade spend, slotting, promotions, and returns so the top line is clean and defensible
• Keep the books audit-ready and lender-ready at all times, backed by a clean audit trail that stands up to bank and lender scrutiny
• Own audit prep and support external auditors and tax preparers

Deductions and Chargebacks

• Own retail and distributor deductions and chargebacks end to end including shortages, MCBs, spoilage, and freight
• Identify, document, validate, and dispute deductions, file at scale, track recovery, and lead the workflow that wins back cash that would otherwise be lost
• Reach out to customers and distributors on AR, collections, and disputed deductions to resolve issues early and keep cash coming in

Cost Analysis and Savings

• Analyze margin, COGS, vendor spend, and freight to find cost leaks and bring management specific, actionable ways to save without being asked
• Manage cash reporting, AR aging, vendor terms, and inputs to forecasting and the line of credit

Compliance

• Own sales tax, 1099s, and internal controls and keep the company diligence-ready as it raises capital

Dashboard Building and AI-First Ways of Working

• Build and maintain live dashboards and trackers for close status, AR aging, inventory position, deductions and recovery, cash, and margin — the team should see the numbers without asking
• Design dashboards that are actionable, not just informational, and update them as the business evolves
• Own and run the cloud finance stack including Xero and Airtable with disciplined, well-documented books
• Connect and automate across the ledger, banks, Airtable, deduction management, OCR, and settlement tools so data flows without manual re-keying
• Use Claude daily to reconcile, categorize, draft dispute packages, speed up analysis, and build repeatable documented processes around it — always check the AI's work before it reaches the books

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field
• At least 5 years of full-cycle accounting including running a monthly close and preparing financial statements
• CPG inventory reconciliation experience is a hard requirement — you must understand how inventory moves through a food or consumer goods brand and how to reconcile it accurately across locations and channels
• Proven ability to build dashboards that give management live visibility into financial and operational performance
• Strong Claude AI proficiency — you use it daily, you know its limits, and you sanity-check its output before it reaches the books
• Working command of US GAAP with experience supporting US-based companies
• Comfortable owning and running a stack like Xero and Airtable, not just working inside it
• Exposure to trade spend, deductions, and distributor or retailer chargeback disputes
• Excellent written and spoken English with proactive communication across time zones
• Flags issues early and closes loops without being asked
• CPG, FMCG, food and beverage, or consumer goods experience strongly preferred

Nice to Have

• CPA or local equivalent
• Experience with natural channel distributors such as UNFI or KeHE
• Background supporting a high-growth or venture-backed consumer brand
• Prior experience bringing accounting in house from an outside firm
• Experience building automated accounting workflows beyond dashboards including OCR, settlement reconciliation, or deduction management tooling

If you are a sharp, full-cycle accountant who can own the books end to end, reconcile CPG inventory accurately, build dashboards that actually get used, and use Claude every day to run a finance function that punches above its weight, this role gives you the ownership and the room to grow to do your best work.
