Job description

Manager, Accounting Operations & Finance | Manufacturing industry | Manhattan (NY)

My client, a globally recognized and highly respected brand, is seeking a Finance Manager to join and help strengthen its growing U.S. finance organization.

With a strong international footprint and a diversified presence across retail, e-commerce, wholesale distribution, and strategic hospitality partnerships, the company continues to experience significant growth in the U.S. market. This hire represents a key addition to the finance team at an exciting stage of expansion and operational scaling.

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this position offers exceptional visibility, ownership, and long-term career progression.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a technically strong accounting professional who is looking to combine hands‑on operational finance responsibilities with strategic exposure within a dynamic, international environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead critical elements of the month‑end close process, preparing and reviewing the full P&L and balance sheet while ensuring accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting.
• Own key balance sheet accounts, including reconciliations, journal entries, and accruals, maintaining strong financial discipline and internal controls
• Manage inventory accounting and stock valuation, partnering closely with operations, logistics, and supply chain teams to ensure accurate cost tracking and inventory management.
• Oversee general ledger activity, coordinating closely with Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions to ensure proper recording of transactions
• Support financial reporting and business analysis, contributing to budgeting, forecasting, and performance monitoring for the U.S. business
• Play a key role in audit preparation and internal control processes, ensuring compliance with U.S. GAAP and best accounting practices
• Contribute to finance transformation initiatives, including systems optimization and the ongoing migration to NetSuite, while helping enhance financial processes and reporting capabilities

Ideal Profile

• CPA or CPA‑track preferred
• Background in public accounting (Big 4 or Top 20 firm strongly preferred) or strong corporate accounting experience
• Fluency in French is a plus
• Prior experience in manufacturing, consumer goods, retail, or product‑driven environments
• Solid inventory accounting and cost accounting exposure
• Strong technical accounting skills with a hands‑on, detail‑oriented mindset
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, international and entrepreneurial environment

Why this Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a globally recognized brand with strong growth in the U.S. market
• Direct exposure to executive leadership, working closely with the CFO
• Clear long‑term career progression
• Opportunity to contribute to systems implementation and finance transformation projects
• Collaborative and dynamic international environment
