What You Will Do

The Inventory Systems Accountant is a senior role reporting to the COO with a dotted line to the VP of Finance. This role is the key finance partner to Operations, procurement and production, enabling financial visibility across a fast-scaling business. Sitting at the critical intersection between our operations and accounting functions, this role will enable data-driven decision-making by ensuring that every inventory movement in our systems is accurately reflected in our financials, with proper controls and accurate COGS. This is a new role in our company. You'll hit the ground running as you address reconciliation issues, unexplained variances, yet-to-be documented processes, and gaps between Cin7 entries and what shows up in the books. You’ll stabilize the current state while simultaneously building the controls and processes that will prevent these fires in the future. You will manage our Cin7 System Administrator and serve as the person we rely on to keep our inventory data clean, our COGS accurate, and our books reconciled as we grow.

Responsibilities:

Own end-to-end accuracy of inventory data across Cin7 and QuickBooks Online, ensuring that cost flows (material costs, landed costs, variances) are correctly captured, reported and reconciled.
Develop and maintain a process map linking Cin7 transactions to reporting windows to validate Cin7-to-Quickbooks information.
Proactively identify control gaps as new sales channels, warehouses, and operational complexity are added.
Build, document, and maintain inventory controls that prevent errors before they impact financials.
Maintain and optimize Cin7 to support accurate inventory tracking and reliable financial reporting.
Partner closely with the Accounting and Finance teams on month-end close, ensuring inventory and COGS entries are accurate prior to handoff.
Monitor inventory health and investigate and resolve discrepancies between physical inventory, system records, and financial statements to reduce write-offs/excess.
Report on COGS, ingredient/packaging costs, yield and efficiency insights to support business decisions and drive margin optimization.
Support annual audits and respond to inventory-related inquiries from external accountants.
Manage the Cin7 System Administrator, providing guidance on system configuration, troubleshooting, and process improvements.

Who You Are

You are a systems-minded professional with sharp analytical skills and meticulous attention to detail. As the bridge between Operations and Accounting/Finance, you partner across teams to keep inventory systems accurate and to resolve—or prevent—issues quickly. You thrive on a small, ambitious team in a fast-moving environment, communicating clearly across functions with a self-directed, fully remote working style. You enjoy building structure and scalable processes, then translating them into practical guidance for the teams you support. Comfortable with ambiguity, you’re solution-oriented and energized by finding approaches that work for the whole team, even when there’s no playbook.

4-7 years of experience in supply chain or operations finance (food/CPG experience is required).
Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail, with the ability to interpret complex data and identify trends and patterns.
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Supply Chain.
Willingness to work with a small, ambitious team on strategy, fire-fighting, and day-to-day coverage.
Effective communication, reporting and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate across diverse teams and cultures in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Experience with inventory management systems like Cin7, NetSuite, or similar platforms. You know how to configure, troubleshoot, and optimize these systems for accurate financial reporting
Demonstrated experience in inventory control, inventory accounting, or cost accounting where you've owned the bridge between operations and finance. You understand how operational transactions translate to journal entries and GL impact.
Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks or comparable accounting software. You understand COGS accounting, inventory valuation methods (FIFO, average cost), and how to investigate variances.
