[Hiring] Senior Accountant @Hire Overseas

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Accountant (AI-Native) to own the full accounting function for a fast-scaling premium food brand sold through major retail, the natural channel, and direct to consumer. You will bring day-to-day accounting in house from an outside firm, run the monthly close end to end, own the general ledger and financial statements, lead deduction and chargeback recovery, and build the dashboards and automated workflows that give management real-time visibility into the business.

This is a genuinely technology-forward role. You will use Claude every day, build live dashboards from scratch, and run a cloud finance stack with discipline and ownership. CPG inventory reconciliation experience is a hard requirement — you need to understand how inventory moves through a food brand, how it hits the books, and how to reconcile it accurately across multiple locations and channels. If you bring strong full-cycle depth, US GAAP experience, CPG or food and beverage background, real Claude proficiency, and genuine enthusiasm for building finance infrastructure with AI, this role is a strong fit.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field
• At least 5 years of full-cycle accounting including running a monthly close and preparing financial statements
• CPG inventory reconciliation experience is a hard requirement
• Proven ability to build dashboards that give management live visibility into financial and operational performance
• Strong Claude AI proficiency
• Working command of US GAAP with experience supporting US-based companies
• Comfortable owning and running a stack like Xero and Airtable
• Exposure to trade spend, deductions, and distributor or retailer chargeback disputes
• Excellent written and spoken English with proactive communication across time zones
• CPG, FMCG, food and beverage, or consumer goods experience strongly preferred

Requirements

• Own the entire accounting function of a fast-growing premium food brand with major retail and DTC distribution
• Run the monthly, quarterly, and annual close on a proactive, tight calendar with no chasing and no surprises
• Own AP, AR, bank and credit card reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and intercompany entries
• Keep an accurate, reconciled balance sheet and a clear, timely income statement with variance commentary management can act on
• Reconcile inventory across finished goods, raw materials, and packaging across multiple locations and channels
• Track inventory movements from purchase through production, warehousing, and sale
• Investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies between the ledger, warehouse records, and third-party systems
• Apply US GAAP revenue recognition for CPG and FMCG
• Own audit prep and support external auditors and tax preparers
• Own retail and distributor deductions and chargebacks end to end
• Identify, document, validate, and dispute deductions
• Analyze margin, COGS, vendor spend, and freight to find cost leaks
• Own sales tax, 1099s, and internal controls
• Build and maintain live dashboards and trackers for close status, AR aging, inventory position, deductions and recovery, cash, and margin
• Connect and automate across the ledger, banks, Airtable, deduction management, OCR, and settlement tools

Benefits

• You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
• Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
• This role requires availability during US business hours
• Real room to grow as the company scales, up to running the whole system independently

How to Apply

Please include:

• Your updated resume
• A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, describing your CPG inventory reconciliation experience, walking through a dashboard you built and what it enabled, and explaining how you use Claude in your daily accounting workflow

Only candidates who submit a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.
