Finance & Accounting Manager

Location: Downtown Los Angeles, CA — In Office

Employment Type: Full-Time

We are a fast-growing consumer goods and wholesale company based in Downtown Los Angeles seeking a sharp, highly organized Finance & Accounting Manager to own our day-to-day accounting and financial operations.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands accounting fundamentals but also moves quickly, embraces technology, and enjoys solving problems.

You will manage the full cycle of accounts receivable and accounts payable, maintain accurate books and reconciliations, oversee company expenses and credit cards, and help management maintain a clear picture of cash flow and upcoming financial obligations.
