About the role
Staff Accountant
We are hiring on behalf of a fast-growing DTC men's apparel brand doing over $10M per month in revenue. Comfort-first, performance-minded basics: shorts, tees, hoodies, pants. California-rooted, 100% bootstrapped, running on Shopify with paid Meta as the growth engine.
The Role
This is not a back-office job. This is the financial nerve center of a fast-moving DTC operation.
You will own the daily accounting engine covering AP, receiving reconciliation, vendor accounts, and COGS accuracy. Then you will do what most accountants cannot: turn those numbers into answers. Which SKUs are printing money and which are dead weight? Which vendors are quietly bleeding the company on variances?
You will work directly with ownership. No layers, no bureaucracy. Ownership handles month-end close and the big strategic calls. You run the daily operation, surface what matters, and bring analysis sharp enough to change decisions. When you find something, it gets acted on that day.
If you have ever caught a six-figure error nobody else saw, or built the analysis that killed a bad product line, this is your room.
What You'll Own
Accounts Payable, full cycle

Process, code, and schedule vendor invoices across the full supplier base

Execute 3-way matching (PO, receiving report, invoice) on every inbound shipment

Run payment cycles, track terms, and capture early-pay discounts

Resolve discrepancies directly with vendors

Receiving and Inventory Accuracy

Daily reconciliation of invoiced quantities against goods actually received

Catch short ships, production variances, and pricing errors before they become write-offs

Partner with fulfillment leadership to keep receiving documentation airtight

COGS and Unit Economics

Maintain weighted average cost accuracy across roughly 1,300 SKUs

Reconcile landed costs including freight, duties, and inbound charges into true unit economics

Support monthly COGS true-ups and inventory valuation reviews

Vendor Management

Own vendor account reconciliations, statement reviews, and terms compliance

First line on anything billing-related with the supplier network

Track vendor performance: variance rates, pricing drift, chargeback recovery

Analysis

Blended and category-level gross margin tracking

SKU contribution, velocity, and markdown exposure across 1,300 SKUs

Vendor scorecards on cost, accuracy, and reliability

Ad hoc deep-dives for ownership: spend reviews, pricing scenarios, whatever needs answering that week

Requirements

Requirements

3 to 6 years in accounting or accounting plus FP&A, with real inventory, AP, or cost accounting exposure. Apparel, CPG, or DTC ecommerce strongly preferred
