  • Review and account for purchase orders, BOMs, and multi-vendor inventory transactions

  • Reconcile inventory balances across ingredients, packaging, and finished goods

  • Support operational workflows tied to manufacturing, inventory movement, and cost accuracy

  • Identify discrepancies, risks, or process gaps and proactively recommend fixes

  • Partner closely with the founder and operations team on financial clarity and cash flow visibility

  • Software / Platforms / Tools:

  • Accounting software (QuickBooks Online or similar)

  • Inventory, BOM, and purchase order tracking systems

  • Google Sheets or Excel (advanced proficiency)

  • Cloud-based file storage and collaboration tools

  • Qualifications:

  • 3–5 years of freelancing experience

  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills (C1 or C2 level)

  • 4–7+ years of accounting experience within CPG, consumer products, or eCommerce

  • Proven experience managing multi-vendor, multi-component manufacturing accounting

  • Strong background in inventory accounting, BOMs, and purchase order workflows

  • Demonstrated ability to manage full-cycle monthly close independently

  • High attention to detail with strong ownership and accountability

  • Comfortable working directly with a founder in a lean environment

  • Senior-level judgment with minimal need for coaching

  • Shift Schedule:

  • Monday to Friday, with some overlap with US business hours preferred
