Position Summary

This is a staff accountant seat supporting three distinct businesses under one roof — an established coatings and manufacturer's rep sales organization with 50+ years in operation, a growing importer bringing goods in from the UK and Belgium, and a consumer product startup with national brand recognition. You'd support all three alongside one other accountant and the CFO. That means you're not doing one narrow slice of AP in a corner — you're touching the full ledger, close, AR/AP across all three entities, and real Excel-driven analysis. It's the kind of role where a strong generalist gets seen, gets variety, and actually gets to think.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and post journal entries and maintain general ledger activity across all three entities
• Process AR and AP invoices and manage related activity for each business
• Support month-end close — current target is the 5th–10th of each month
• Perform Excel-driven analysis including VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and complex nested functions
• Flex across the varying needs of an established sales org, a growing importer, and an e-commerce startup
• Collaborate directly with the CFO and one other accountant as part of a lean, high-visibility function
• Assist with sales tax and other compliance-related tasks as needed

• High energy, entrepreneurial mindset, and a strong work ethic
• Comfortable moving fast around close and operating without a rigid playbook
• Long-term oriented — this team is small by design and built for people who want to grow in place
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; experience with Sage or comparable accounting software a plus
  
  

Preferred

• Sales tax experience
