Staff Accountant; Financial Analysis

A private equity backed consumer automotive products brand is growing fast. It sells online, through major retailers, and through wholesale distribution. The finance team is building out, and leadership wants accounting to explain the numbers, not just book them.

This Staff Accountant runs core GL work and gets real analysis work on top of it. You'll own entries and reconciliations, help close the books, and explain what moved in revenue, inventory, and costs. You'll work with FP&A and supply chain on margins and cost drivers. Most staff seats stop at the GL. This one doesn't.
