Kindling Provisions

Kindling exists to spark the fire within—fueling everyday adventurers with snacks that are packed with protein and full of flavor. We’re here to prove that better-for-you doesn’t have to mean boring. And we’re building more than a brand—we’re building a lifestyle, a community, and a movement.

The people around the campfire are as essential as the skills they bring. We want to create a culture that builds trust, community, and connection to each other. We're building an in-person team! Let's face it, seeing people's faces in real life builds a kind of camaraderie that's often lost through our screens. In our opinion virtual should never completely replace in-person. Make no mistake, we understand that inflexible office policies take away from the things that fuel our flame. That's why we're a hybrid operation, working three days in the office and two days remotely. We are working to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience full of growth, learning, lifelong connections, and memorable moments.

What You Will Do

We’re looking for an Accounting Manager to be the steady flame behind Kindling’s financial foundation as we scale. This role owns the day-to-day accounting operations of a fast-growing CPG food company—making sure the numbers are right, the close is tight, and the systems we build today can support where we’re headed tomorrow.

You’ll lead our monthly close, oversee inventory and cost accounting across manufacturers and warehouses, and bring discipline and clarity to trade spend and gross-to-net. You’ll partner closely with FP&A, supply chain, and sales to ensure what’s happening in the real world—production runs, promotions, deductions, and inventory moves—shows up cleanly and accurately in the books.

Accounting & Close:

Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements in accordance with US GAAP
Maintain a clean, accurate general ledger with a sharp eye on inventory, COGS, accruals, and prepaid expenses
Manage revenue recognition across grocery, club, DTC, and Amazon channels

Inventory & Cost Accounting:

Oversee inventory accounting across co-manufacturers, 3PLs, and internal warehouses
Ensure accurate valuation of raw materials, WIP, and finished goods
Own standard cost and actual cost tracking, including manufacturing variances
Partner with supply chain to reconcile inventory movements, shrink, write-offs, and obsolescence

Trade Spend & Deductions:

Account for trade spend, promotions, bill-backs, chargebacks, and customer deductions
Partner with sales and FP&A to ensure accurate accruals and timely reconciliation of customer programs
Improve visibility, rigor, and confidence in gross-to-net reporting

Reporting & Compliance:

Prepare and review monthly financial statements, variance analyses, and supporting schedules
Support sales tax, payroll tax, excise tax (as applicable), and income tax compliance alongside external advisors
Lead audit preparation and serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors

Controls & Process Improvement:

Design, document, and enforce accounting policies and internal controls appropriate for a scaling CPG business
Continuously improve close speed, accuracy, and system workflows as transaction volume increases

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Work closely with supply chain, operations, and sales to ensure seamless handoffs between physical product flow and financial reporting
Partner with FP&A to align actuals with forecasts, budgets, and margin analysis

Who You Are

You’re detail-obsessed and ownership-driven, comfortable moving fast in a growth-stage environment, simplifying and scaling processes, and communicating clearly across teams. If you love rolling up your sleeves, building structure in a growth-stage environment, and being the person everyone trusts when it comes to the numbers, you’ll feel right at home around our campfire.
