Job description

We're working with a rapidly scaling company (40-50% year-over-year growth) that was recently acquired by a much larger, publicly traded parent organization. That acquisition means the business is transitioning from a scrappy, founder-run operation into a more structured, compliance-driven environment - and they need a sharp Senior Accountant to help build the runway as they go.

If you thrive on solving problems, building processes, and stepping into a little bit of controlled chaos, this could be your next move.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a "keep the lights on" accounting job. You'll be:

• Building, not just maintaining. The team is standing up new SOPs and controls to meet the reporting standards of a public parent company — you'll help shape how things get done, not just follow an existing playbook.
• Working across two entities. With a legal-entity transition underway post-acquisition, you'll own multi-entity reconciliation and untangle how transactions in one entity ripple into the other.
• Getting real ERP and inventory exposure. You'll work with inventory and landed-cost accounting through an ERP system that feeds into QuickBooks, including the added wrinkle of fluctuating tariff costs — great experience for anyone who wants to deepen their operational accounting chops.
• Operating on a tight, structured close calendar. The parent company's close cadence is fast-paced, which means you'll sharpen your ability to prioritize and deliver under pressure.
• Positioned for more. While this specific team has a lean structure, the parent organization has a strong track record of promoting talent from newly acquired businesses into corporate roles - many of which are remote.

What You'll Own

• Full-cycle accounting and month-end close support
• Multi-entity account reconciliations
• Accounts payable/receivable oversight
• Commission process management
• Timely, accurate monthly financial statements and performance reporting
• Partnering with department leaders as a trusted finance resource
• Supporting the build-out of accounting processes and controls for public-company compliance

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong Excel skills; comfort learning new systems (QuickBooks experience a plus, not required)
• Working knowledge of how an ERP system supports inventory/operations accounting
• 3-way match experience
• A roll-up-your-sleeves mindset - comfortable stepping into ambiguity and helping create order
• Strong communicator who can collaborate cross-functionally and hold their own with senior leaders
• Bonus: Spanish or Portuguese language skills

The Team & Culture

You'd be joining a small, tight-knit accounting team that's been through a lot of change lately and leans on each other because of it. Expect a collaborative, low-ego, flexible environment where people genuinely like working together - and where leadership is hands-on, approachable, and open to negotiating what matters most to you.

• Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Benefits are actively improving as the company integrates with its new parent organization
