About the role

Staff Accountant

We are hiring on behalf of a fast-growing DTC men's apparel brand doing over $10M per month in revenue. Comfort-first, performance-minded basics: shorts, tees, hoodies, pants. California-rooted, 100% bootstrapped, running on Shopify with paid Meta as the growth engine.

The Role

This is not a back-office job. This is the financial nerve center of a fast-moving DTC operation.

You will own the daily accounting engine covering AP, receiving reconciliation, vendor accounts, and COGS accuracy. Then you will do what most accountants cannot: turn those numbers into answers. Which SKUs are printing money and which are dead weight? Which vendors are quietly bleeding the company on variances?

You will work directly with ownership. No layers, no bureaucracy. Ownership handles month-end close and the big strategic calls. You run the daily operation, surface what matters, and bring analysis sharp enough to change decisions. When you find something, it gets acted on that day.

If you have ever caught a six-figure error nobody else saw, or built the analysis that killed a bad product line, this is your room.

What You'll Own

Accounts Payable, full cycle

• Process, code, and schedule vendor invoices across the full supplier base
• Execute 3-way matching (PO, receiving report, invoice) on every inbound shipment
• Run payment cycles, track terms, and capture early-pay discounts
• Resolve discrepancies directly with vendors

Receiving and Inventory Accuracy

• Daily reconciliation of invoiced quantities against goods actually received
• Catch short ships, production variances, and pricing errors before they become write-offs
• Partner with fulfillment leadership to keep receiving documentation airtight

COGS and Unit Economics

• Maintain weighted average cost accuracy across roughly 1,300 SKUs
• Reconcile landed costs including freight, duties, and inbound charges into true unit economics
• Support monthly COGS true-ups and inventory valuation reviews

Vendor Management

• Own vendor account reconciliations, statement reviews, and terms compliance
• First line on anything billing-related with the supplier network
• Track vendor performance: variance rates, pricing drift, chargeback recovery

Analysis

• Blended and category-level gross margin tracking
• SKU contribution, velocity, and markdown exposure across 1,300 SKUs
• Vendor scorecards on cost, accuracy, and reliability
• Ad hoc deep-dives for ownership: spend reviews, pricing scenarios, whatever needs answering that week

Requirements

Requirements

• 3 to 6 years in accounting or accounting plus FP&A, with real inventory, AP, or cost accounting exposure. Apparel, CPG, or DTC ecommerce strongly preferred
• Fluent in 3-way matching and comfortable pushing back on vendors when the numbers do not add up
• Excel killer: pivots, lookups, and models built from scratch
• You think in unit economics, not just journal entries
• ERP experience such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar. Shopify ecosystem familiarity is a plus
• Self-directed and fast

Benefits

• Work From Anywhere
• Competitive salary paid in US$
