Job Description
Cost Accountant & Financial Analyst for a rapidly scaling direct-to-consumer lifestyle apparel brand. Own the daily accounting engine and analyze performance metrics to drive decisions.
Responsibilities:
- Own the daily accounting engine — AP, receiving reconciliation, vendor accounts, COGS accuracy
- Process, code, and schedule vendor invoices across our 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 — you make the call, we back you up
- Daily reconciliation of invoiced quantities vs. goods actually received on our dock
- Catch short ships, production variances, and pricing errors before they become write-offs
- Partner with fulfillment leadership to keep receiving documentation airtight
- Maintain weighted average cost accuracy across ~1,300 SKUs
- Reconcile landed costs — freight, duties, inbound charges — into true unit economics
- Support monthly COGS true-ups and inventory valuation reviews
- Own vendor account reconciliations, statement reviews, and terms compliance
- Be the first line on anything billing-related with our supplier network
- Track vendor performance: variance rates, pricing drift, chargeback recovery
- Margin analysis: blended and category-level gross margin tracking across all categories.
- SKU analysis: contribution, velocity, and markdown exposure across 1,300 SKUs — tell us what to double down on and what to cut
- Vendor efficiency: scorecard our suppliers on cost, accuracy, and reliability — who earns more volume and who's on notice
- Ad hoc deep-dives for ownership: spend reviews, pricing scenarios, whatever the business needs answered this week
Requirements:
- 3–6 years in accounting or accounting + FP&A, with real inventory, AP, or cost accounting exposure — apparel, CPG, or DTC e-commerce strongly preferred
- CPA or equivalent is nice to have
- Fluent in 3-way matching and unafraid to push back on vendors when the numbers don't add up
- Excel killer: pivots, lookups, and models built from scratch. You don't wait for a template
- You think in unit economics, not just journal entries — contribution margin, landed cost, turns
- ERP/accounting systems experience (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar); Shopify ecosystem familiarity is a plus
- Self-directed and fast. Clear priorities, full ownership, no hand-holding
