ABOUT THIS ROLE
Patrick Ta Beauty is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Senior Accountant to join our growing finance team, reporting directly to the Controller. Working alongside two existing Senior Accountants, this role will own specific accounting functions including inventory reconciliations, cost accounting, general ledger management, and financial reporting. The Senior Accountant will serve as a key partner to the Controller and finance team, taking ownership of complex accounting processes and contributing to the continued growth and financial integrity of the company.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience in general accounting with specific expertise in inventory management, cost analysis, and month-end close processes.

Experience in consumer packaged goods (CPG), beauty, or retail industries is highly valued.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment and is ready to build and refine processes — not just follow existing ones. Extra consideration will be given to candidates with experience in high-growth or startup environments.

• Reconcile bank and credit card activities, record cash transfers, and ensure accurate recording of all transactions.

Audit, Tax & Compliance

• Own state and local tax compliance including working with outside tax accountants for sales tax filings and year-end 1099 issuance.
• Prepare schedules supporting the external tax provider, including state apportionment.

Process Improvement & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Document and improve accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls as the company scales.
• Partner cross-functionally with operations on inventory reconciliations.
• Collaborate with fellow Senior Accountants and the Controller to ensure consistent processes and knowledge-sharing across the finance team.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

• 3-5 years of progressive accounting experience; CPA preferred.
• Demonstrated experience with inventory reconciliations, physical counts, and cost accounting.
• Strong knowledge of general ledger accounting, month-end close processes, and financial reporting.
• Proficiency in NetSuite required.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, data analysis).
• Experience in consumer packaged goods (CPG), beauty, retail, or e-commerce industries strongly preferred.
• Previous experience in a high-growth or startup environment is a plus.
