Job description

Schedule: Monday - Friday

Location: Hybrid *1 day a week in office required in Marin area

About the Position:

The Senior Accountant is the second set of expert hands in a small, high-trust finance team. You will own the cash forecast that tells leadership what we can commit to, close the books on a predictable calendar, and turn the results into something Sales and Operations can actually use . Because we import, our numbers move with exchange rates, ocean freight, and supplier terms so this role sits close to the business, not off to the s ide of it. This is an individual contributor role that builds as much as it maintains processes.

Our reporting function is young, our ERP is evolving, and the person in this seat will have real influence over how the work gets designed.

Responsibilities :

• Month-End Close & Financial Reporting: Prepare journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations; manage the general ledger close by the 15th of each month; and prov ide monthly and quarterly reporting with clear variance analysis.
  
• Cash Management & Forecasting: Maintain a rolling 90–120-day cash forecast, recommend weekly payment priorities, execute international supplier payments in multiple currencies, and monitor foreign exchange impacts.
  
• Inventory & Cost Accounting: Calculate and reconcile landed inventory costs, investigate margin variances, partner with Operations on COGS and pricing, and support inventory valuation and counts.
  
• Accounts Payable & Supplier Management: Oversee the full AP cycle, maintain accurate aging, reconcile supplier statements, resolve discrepancies, and ensure payments align with negotiated terms.
  
• Tax & Regulatory Compliance: Manage timely CDTFA sales tax and CalRecycle CRV filings and payments, maintaining accurate records and a calendar of reporting deadlines.
  
• Systems & Process Improvement: Maintain vendor master data in SAP Business One, support ERP and AP automation initiatives, strengthen internal controls, and streamline accounting processes.
  
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Prepare monthly Sales expense reporting against budget, support external accountants and financial partners, and prov ide actionable financial insights to Sales and Operations.
