Senior Inventory Accountant

Senior Inventory Accountant | Austin, TX (Hybrid) $85K–$95K + 5–10% Bonus (typically toward the higher end)

A client of ours—one of Austin’s fastest-growing and most dynamic consumer product companies—is looking to add a Senior Inventory Accountant to their team.

This is a high-impact, highly visible role where inventory is at the core of the business. You’ll take full ownership of inventory accounting across a complex, multi-location distribution environment and partner directly with operations to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and scalability as the company continues to grow.

• Opportunity to own inventory accounting end-to-end across multiple warehouses
• Direct exposure to and partnership with operations, supply chain, and leadership
• Join a high-growth, well-established company with strong momentum and continued investment in infrastructure
• Role offers real ownership from day one—this is not a back-office, maintenance position
• Blend of technical accounting + operational involvement (you’ll be close to the business, not removed from it)
• Strong bonus structure with a track record of paying toward the higher end
• Clear opportunity to make an immediate impact in a function critical to the company’s success

• Owning inventory accounting across multiple warehouses and distribution channels
• Managing inventory valuation, including excess/obsolete inventory, returns, and adjustments
• Supporting month‑end close with a focus on inventory‑related entries and balance sheet accuracy
• Maintaining and reconciling inventory‑related accounts, including in‑transit inventory and landed costs
• Reviewing and validating cost components (freight, duties, tariffs, storage, etc.)
• Partnering closely with operations and supply chain teams to track inventory movement and resolve discrepancies
• Analyzing purchase price variances and identifying trends or issues
• Supporting cycle counts and physical inventory processes, including reconciliation and audit readiness
• Driving process improvements and helping scale accounting workflows within a growing ERP environment

• 5+ years of accounting experience with strong inventory or cost accounting exposure
• Proven experience in an inventory‑heavy environment (distribution, manufacturing, retail, etc.)
• Strong understanding of inventory valuation and cost flow methods (FIFO, weighted average, etc.)
• Experience working in ERP systems with inventory subledgers
• Solid Excel skills and ability to reconcile and analyze data efficiently
• Ability to operate in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment with minimal ramp‑up
• Strong attention to detail with a high ownership, accountability mindset

• Quickly take ownership of inventory accounting with minimal training or ramp‑up
• Deliver accurate, reliable inventory reporting and tight balance sheet reconciliations
• Act as a trusted partner to operations, helping bridge the gap between accounting and the business
• Identify issues early and proactively solve problems before they escalate
• Improve processes and contribute to building a more scalable, efficient accounting function
• Maintain strong control over a critical area of the business in a high‑volume environment

This role is ideal for someone who prefers to be close to the business, not stuck in purely transactional accounting.

Inventory is a core driver of this company’s success, and the person in this role will have direct influence on accuracy, visibility, and operational decision‑making.

It’s a great opportunity for someone who:

• Enjoys ownership and autonomy
• Wants to be in a high‑growth, fast‑paced environment
• Takes pride in building structure and improving processes
• Is confident in their inventory accounting skillset and ready to make an immediate impact

This is a role that requires strong, hands‑on inventory accounting experience. It is not designed for someone looking to learn inventory accounting for the first time.
