If you love working at the intersection of community, content, and cutting-edge technology, you’ll feel right at home here.

- Oversee accounting for cash, AP, AR, prepaids, fixed assets, leases, payroll-related accounts, intercompany activity, and other assigned accounts.
- Review financial results and balance-sheet activity to identify unusual trends, errors, and emerging accounting issues.
- Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team, establishing clear responsibilities, deadlines, review standards, and accountability.
- Build appropriate cross-training and backup coverage while developing a scalable accounting organization that can support continued growth and acquisitions.
- Provide accounting oversight of inventory and manufacturing processes while partnering with the Cost Accountant on product costing, landed cost, COGS, manufacturing variances, and inventory reserves.
- Review inventory-to-GL reconciliations, E&O analyses, inventory adjustments, cycle counts, and physical inventory results.

- 6–10 years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful responsibility for month-end close, general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
- 2+ years of supervisory, management, or significant team-lead experience strongly preferred.
- Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial statement preparation.
- Manufacturing, aerospace, defense, electronics, hardware, distribution, or other inventory-intensive industry experience strongly preferred.
- Solid understanding of inventory accounting, COGS, raw materials, WIP, finished goods, inventory reserves, and manufacturing cost flows.
