This person should have a strong focus on day-to-day bookkeeping—AP, AR, and managing accounting entries across operating accounts. Given the nature of this business, it’s critical that this person has experience within CPG—ideally someone who understands manufacturing, COGS, wholesale distribution, and can navigate distributor chargebacks and deductions.

Reconcile and manage distributor chargebacks and deductions
Assist with month-end and year-end closing processes
Work closely with operations and finance teams to ensure accurate expense classification
Monitor and report on cash flow, outstanding balances, and collections
Maintain records for sales tax, vendor payments, and other compliance-related items
Collaborate with external accountants or CPAs as needed for audits or filings
Perform ad hoc administrative, business operations, and special projects tasks as needed

Qualifications

Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience)
3+ years of bookkeeping experience, preferably in a CPG or manufacturing environment
Strong understanding of CPG accounting workflows, including COGS, wholesale, and inventory
Experience navigating distributor deductions, chargebacks, and trade spend

Solid understanding of GAAP and financial reporting principles
