Accounting Manager

Robert Half • Saint Helena, CA • 1h ago

Description We are looking for an Accounting Manager to oversee the full finance and accounting function for a multi-entity wine business based in St. Helena, California. This position is ideal for a hands-on individual who can independently manage day-to-day accounting, reporting, compliance, payroll, and operational finance activities across several related entities. The role requires strong ownership, sound judgment, and the ability to balance detailed transactional work with higher-level financial oversight in a complex inventory and production environment.

Responsibilities:

Lead end-to-end accounting operations for four related entities, including journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and monthly close activities.

Prepare individual and consolidated financial reports each month, ensuring accurate results, timely reporting packages, and support for year-end close and audit readiness.

Manage intercompany accounting, cash activity, bank reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, collections follow-up, and weekly payment processing across all entities.

Oversee inventory and cost accounting for winery and warehouse operations, including production allocations, vineyard-related cost tracking, finished goods valuation, and reconciliation across multiple storage locations.

Administer wholesale, direct-to-consumer, custom crush, and bulk wine financial transactions by recording sales activity, billing customers, and reconciling related expenses.

Coordinate regulatory and tax compliance requirements such as excise tax, sales and industry-specific filings, annual business renewals, property-related submissions, and support for federal and state income tax preparation.

Process bi-weekly payroll through Paylocity, record payroll activity in the accounting system, maintain leave tracking, and assist with year-end payroll reporting and employee onboarding administration.

Support finance-related operational administration by maintaining key records, organizing permits and compliance documents, and coordinating essential office and facility-related supply needs.

Work with business systems and platforms used for accounting, payroll, compliance, production, sales, distribution, and approval workflows, learning new applications as needed to support accurate financial operations. Requirements

At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month-end close and general ledger activities.

Demonstrated experience managing accounting for multiple entities with minimal supervision in a standalone or highly independent role.

Strong background in cost accounting, inventory accounting, and financial analysis within a product-based environment; wine industry experience is strongly preferred.

Working knowledge of financial statement preparation, account reconciliations, fixed assets, audit support, and cash management processes.

Experience with payroll administration for hourly and salaried employees, preferably using Paylocity or a similar payroll platform.

Familiarity with tax and regulatory reporting responsibilities, especially sales tax, excise filings, and other compliance obligations relevant to winery, agricultural, or manufacturing operations.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office and the ability to learn finance and operational systems used for accounting, sales, production, and compliance reporting.

Mandarin language skills are strongly preferred due to international reporting needs.

For immediate consideration, please call Amanda Howell at 707-578-3355. Thank you!
