• Current, hands‑on cost accounting experience. You are doing this work today or have been within the last 6 months.
• Multi‑entity month‑end close ownership. You personally close books across multiple entities, every month, recently.
• Vast and recent experience with COGS, inventory valuation, and 100+ SKUs in a manufacturing or CPG environment.
• Budgeting and FP&A ownership. You have built budgets and run forward‑looking planning and analysis, not just closed the past.

read this before you apply.

This is a hands‑on accounting role with real ownership. You will run the close, own the reconciliations, and help lay the bricks of a finance system that does not yet exist.

We are turn. A cannabis brand inspired by Red Bull, Supreme, Off‑White, and Poppi. We did $30M in 2024, $40M in 2025, and we are building toward $100M+. Our first product line is vapes. Beverages and apparel are next.

You will lead the 3 accountants on payroll today and own the close from day one. You report directly to the founder until our incoming CFO is in seat, at which point you become one of their most trusted operators. If you want to be a button‑pusher in Quick Books, do not apply. If you want to be the person who actually closes the books and owns the truth, keep reading.

• You are a Senior Accountant or Accounting Manager with 5 to 10 years of experience at inventory‑heavy or CPG businesses. You have owned the close. You have owned reconciliations. You have done cost accounting hands‑on, not just supervised it.
• You know how to value inventory across warehouses, calculate landed costs across overseas manufacturing and domestic co‑packing, manage BOMs, and run COGS variance analysis without flinching. You maintain COGS in real time every month, not as a year‑end true‑up. You have built or maintained a standard cost system in a manufacturing environment. You have consolidated books across multiple entities and you know what intercompany eliminations are without Googling them.
  
  You have built budgets and run FP&A, and you can turn the close into a forward look, not just a rear‑view mirror.
• You are fluent in Quick Books. ERP transition experience is a plus.
• You are precise, fast, and you do not need a babysitter. You raise your hand when something does not tie. You are the person leadership trusts to actually close the month.

turn is a 50 person company built across manufacturing, wholesale, DTC, and in‑house creative.

Manufacturing partners in China and Bangladesh. Domestic co‑packers in the US. A 6 person production team in Shenzhen. Wholesale distribution in California, Arizona, New York, and Florida. A 6 person sales team. A 15+ person in‑house design and media department. 3 accountants, 5 warehouse staff, 3 ops and leadership roles, and a Chief Product Officer.

We have grown hard and fast and we are building the financial backbone now. You will be one of the people who builds it.

We are two companies running under one roof. A design, media, and marketing brand built in the spirit of Poppi or Rhode. And a CPG operation with overseas supply chain, domestic co‑packing, channel margins, and real inventory complexity.

Now add cannabis state‑by‑state compliance. A 50 SKU catalog becomes 300+ SKUs because every state has its own rules. Multiply that by inventory locations, lot tracking, and COGS variance, and you have an accounting environment most senior accountants have never seen.

You will not inherit a clean system. You will help build it.

To do this job well, you need to be fluent in all of the following. If most of this is unfamiliar, this is not your job.

Own it end to end. Journal entries, accruals, prepaid amortization, balance sheet reconciliations, P&L review. On time, every time.

Standard costing. Landed cost calculations across overseas manufacturing and domestic co‑packing. BOM management. COGS variance analysis.…
