Requirements Required Skills and Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field. • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably including significant general ledger and month-end close responsibility. • Strong understanding of GAAP and accrual accounting. • Demonstrated experience preparing complex balance sheet reconciliations and journal entries. • Strong understanding of the relationship between purchasing, receiving, inventory, AP, and COGS. • Experience with manufacturing, inventory, or product-based accounting strongly preferred. • Experience working in an ERP environment required; Odoo experience is a plus but not required. • Strong Excel skills, including experience working with large data sets and reconciliation schedules. • Ability to independently research accounting discrepancies and bring issues to resolution. • Strong attention to detail while maintaining an understanding of the overall financial statement impact. • Ability to work effectively in a changing, fast-paced environment and help develop processes as the accounting organization matures.
