- Prepare standard journal entries and maintain timely posting of day-to-day accounting activity.
- Track inventory-related purchases and landed costs with attention to accuracy and supporting backup.
- Partner with operations and logistics teams to confirm that receipts, invoices, and related records align properly.
- Organize accounting documentation so financial records are complete, accessible, and ready for review.
- Serve as a dependable point of contact for routine accounting questions while identifying errors, cash issues, or unusual variances promptly.
- At least 3 years of bookkeeping experience covering accounts payable, accounts receivable, and account reconciliations.
- Hands-on experience with NetSuite is strongly preferred; experience with comparable ERP systems will also be considered.
- Background in a product-based, inventory, import, or distribution business is advantageous.
- Ability to work independently with limited oversight while managing deadlines and daily priorities.
- Proficiency in Excel and confidence working with financial data and supporting schedules.
- Strong attention to detail, sound organizational skills, and a consistent approach to accuracy.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across teams.
