[Hiring] Accounting Manager @Somewhere

Role Description

Every acquisition we close adds brands, entities, and sets of books. Our accounting workload grows with each deal, and the bar stays the same: a fast, clean close and numbers we can put in front of investors without a second pass.

Our Controller owns financial reporting, controls, and the close calendar. This role is the engine underneath that. You will run day-to-day accounting across our brand and fund entities, keep every ledger reconciled and current, and deliver close work that is accurate the first time.

This is a hands-on manager role for someone who wants ownership. You will be trusted with real responsibility from your first month, and as the portfolio grows, the role grows with it.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including owning the month-end close for one or more entities
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial statement preparation
• Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, or a comparable accounting system
• Advanced Excel skills: fast, accurate, and comfortable with large data sets and reconciliations
• Fluent, polished English, written and spoken, with the ability to explain your work clearly and confidently to leadership
• Full availability for 9:00 am to 6:00 pm U.S. Eastern Time
• A reliable home office setup: dependable computer, stable high-speed internet, and a quiet, dedicated workspace

Requirements

• Own the general ledger for multiple brand and fund entities, keeping each set of books current, reconciled, and audit-ready
• Record and reconcile marketplace sales activity, including Amazon settlement reports, fees, refunds, and reserves
• Manage intercompany activity and allocations between entities so balances tie out every month
• Set up and onboard the books for newly acquired brands, including opening balances and chart of accounts mapping
• Run the bill payment process end to end: invoice intake, coding, approvals, and scheduled payments
• Manage receivables and cash application across entities
• Complete bank, credit card, and merchant account reconciliations on a set schedule
• Execute the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close for your entities against the Controller's close calendar
• Prepare GAAP-compliant financial statements and the supporting schedules behind them
• Prepare clean audit and tax support packages and answer auditor and tax advisor requests
• Support investor reporting, including capital account activity, distributions, and investor portal updates
• Pull together analysis for leadership on brand performance, margins, and cash, and explain the numbers clearly in writing
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and acquisition due diligence with accurate historical data
• Document and improve accounting procedures so the close gets faster as the portfolio grows
• Follow and strengthen internal controls over payments, approvals, and account access
• Review and guide the work of junior or offshore accounting support as the team expands

Benefits

• A growing portfolio: Each acquisition adds new brands and new problems to solve, so your scope expands with the business.
• Real ownership: You will run accounting for real entities from day one, not one narrow slice of a process.
• Direct access to leadership: You will work closely with the CFO and Controller and see how your work shapes acquisition and investor decisions.
• A team that values performance: We move fast, hold a high standard, and recognize the people who deliver.
