Job description
Majority Remote - Senior Accountant – NYC!
A growing, private equity-backed company at the intersection of consumer products and design is looking for a Senior Accountant. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career accounting professional to take on significant responsibility within a growing organization and gain exposure to both core accounting and broader financial analysis, as you’ll work hand in hand with the CFO and VP Finance.
This person will play an important role in strengthening the company's accounting infrastructure as the business continues to grow. The position will be hands-on and involve month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting, while also providing exposure to process improvement, multi-entity accounting, and other strategic finance initiatives.
The ideal candidate will have strong accounting fundamentals, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to operate independently in a fast-moving environment. This role is particularly well suited for someone coming from a strong public accounting or corporate accounting background who is looking to take on broader ownership within an operating company.
The company is based in Midtown and only requires 1 day in office per week!
Responsibilities:
Support the monthly close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and preparation of financial schedules
Assist with accounting activities across multiple entities and support the consolidation and reporting process
Maintain accurate general ledger accounts and investigate and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner
Support accounts payable and accounts receivable activities, including invoice review, payment processing, cash application, and account reconciliation
Prepare bank and balance sheet reconciliations and ensure transactions are accurately recorded and supported
Assist with the preparation of internal financial reporting and schedules for management
Support external audit processes by preparing schedules, documentation, and responding to requests from external auditors
Help improve accounting processes, controls, systems, and reporting as the organization continues to scale
Assist with inventory-related accounting and other operational accounting activities as needed
Support broader finance initiatives, including KPI reporting, pricing analysis, variance analysis, and other ad hoc projects
Requirements:
2–5 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within a public accounting or corporate accounting environment
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
Strong understanding of GAAP, accrual accounting, journal entries, reconciliations, and month-end close processes
Experience working with multiple entities, consolidations, accounting systems, or process transitions is highly preferred
NetSuite experience is strongly preferred
Strong Excel skills and the ability to work with large amounts of financial data
Experience in inventory, distribution, manufacturing, consumer products, or a similar operating environment is a plus
Highly organized, analytical, and detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities
Self-starter who is comfortable working in an evolving environment and taking ownership of responsibilities
Interested in developing broader exposure to FP&A, business analysis, and operational finance
Salary: $85K – $95K + bonus
