Job Description
About Us:
At Near, we help top talent in Latin America find remote roles with US companies. Our mission is to create better lives by fostering a remote work culture that transcends borders.
About Our Client:
Our client is a fast-growing US women’s health company founded by OB/GYNs. They create doctor-designed supplements backed by the latest clinical research, and they’re growing from a prenatal vitamin specialist into a leading authority in women’s nutritional health. They sell their products through e-commerce (DTC), marketplaces and wholesale.
About the Role:
Join our US client on their mission to bring clinical rigor to women’s nutritional health. We are looking for an Accounting Manager to join their lean, fast-paced Finance team.
In this new role, you’ll own the month-end close from start to finish and keep the books audit-ready all year. You’ll report to the VP, Controller, work closely with the Operations team and direct an outsourced bookkeeping team. No staff accountant reports to this role, so you’ll use AI to build workflows and agents that help the team close quickly and accurately. This is a great opportunity for a hands-on, independent accountant who enjoys solving problems and building scalable processes from the ground up.
Note: This is a remote, contractor role.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the close calendar and checklist, driving deadlines across Finance, Marketing and Operations, and deliver a reviewed close package on schedule.
- Prepare journal entries and accruals, and maintain key schedules, including prepaids, deferred revenue, fixed assets, inventory and leases.
- Run monthly period-over-period flux analysis on the P&L and balance sheet.
- Reconcile balance sheet accounts, including the Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, PayPal and Stripe clearing accounts.
- Direct and review the outsourced bookkeeping team’s AP, AR and bank reconciliation work, resolving exceptions and enforcing AP cutoff.
- Reconcile payroll and analyze headcount.
- Lead support for the annual financial statement audit, including PBC requests, account support and process walkthroughs.
- Manage vendor setup and payment terms, and maintain a contract tracker with renewal dates and notice-period alerts.
- Own QuickBooks Online and Ramp, including chart of accounts hygiene, coding rules, integrations and the month-end sync.
- Design and maintain AI-driven workflows that automate schedules, reconciliations and close tasks.
What We’re Looking For:
- 4–6+ years of progressive accounting experience.
- Proven experience at a consumer product company (DTC/e-commerce, CPG, marketplaces or wholesale) that sells and ships physical products.
- Hands-on ownership or oversight of inventory accounting.
- Hands-on ownership of the monthly close under US GAAP.
- Strong understanding of accruals, prepaids, revenue recognition and balance sheet reconciliations.
- Experience using AI tools to build accounting workflows or automations, with concrete examples you can walk through.
- Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and advanced spreadsheet skills (Google Sheets).
- Ability to work independently and solve problems as a hands-on owner on a lean team.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Proficient English level.
- Nice to have: public accounting experience (Big Four, national or regional firm), experience with Ramp or Bill.com, experience directing an outsourced bookkeeping team, audit preparation at a venture-backed or private company, and a CPA or local equivalent.
Perks – What’s in It for You?
- Competitive compensation in US dollars.
- Excellent and dynamic work environment
- Career development opportunities
