This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who wants exposure beyond traditional general ledger accounting and is interested in understanding how business operations translate into financial results.
Our business includes e-commerce, retail, hospitality, inventory management, fulfillment, and distribution, providing the opportunity to develop broad accounting and operational experience.

- Assist with inventory valuation and costing analysis.
- Participate in physical inventory counts and cycle counts.

- Provide backup support for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.
- Assist with payment processor and merchant account reconciliations.
- Support payroll journal entries, reconciliations, and labor-cost reporting.
- Assist with sales tax, tobacco excise tax, and other regulatory reporting and documentation.
- Review shipping and freight invoices and assist with fulfillment and distribution expense reporting.
- Participate in ERP, reporting, process-improvement, and other cross-functional projects.

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
- Understanding of GAAP and fundamental accounting principles.
- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with financial data.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with accounting and operational teams.
- Preferred
- 2–4 years of accounting experience.

What Makes This Role Different
This position offers the opportunity to develop accounting experience across several areas of the business rather than working within one narrow accounting function. You will gain exposure to financial reporting, operational accounting, retail and hospitality operations, inventory management, e-commerce, distribution, and internal controls while working directly with both Finance and operational teams.
