Serve as the main finance point of contact for site and leadership teams; communicate effectively with entrepreneur-minded managers and non-finance staff.

Prepare balance sheet and P& L statements; ensure compliance with company policies and GAAP.

Support audits, financial reviews, and provide reporting to corporate office.

Operate and adapt quickly across various accounting platforms, including QuickBooks, customized/legacy systems, and extensive Excel/spreadsheet-driven processes.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field.

5+ years' hands-on accounting experience, ideally running day-to-day accounting for small businesses, start-ups, or similar owner-led ventures.

Demonstrated expertise in inventory accounting (retail, manufacturing, wholesale, or distribution settings).

Exceptional clean-up, process improvement, and systems conversion skills.

Advanced Excel and comfort with manual/data-driven work environments; experience with QuickBooks and off-brand systems preferred.

Strong interpersonal skills; ability to collaborate with entrepreneur-style leadership and adapt to different personalities.

Solutions-oriented, detail-focused, and highly autonomous.
