Cost Accountant, Financial Analyst

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Mexico.

📋 Description

• Take charge of the daily accounting functions — accounts payable, receiving reconciliation, vendor accounts, and ensuring COGS accuracy.

• Process, categorize, and schedule vendor invoices across our entire supplier network.

• Carry out 3-way matching (Purchase Order → receiving report → invoice) for every incoming shipment.

• Manage payment cycles, monitor terms, and seize early-pay discounts.

• Address discrepancies directly with vendors — you initiate the conversation, and we support you.

• Conduct daily reconciliations of invoiced quantities against goods actually received at our dock.

• Identify short shipments, production variances, and pricing mistakes before they escalate into write-offs.

• Collaborate with fulfillment leadership to ensure receiving documentation is precise.

• Maintain accurate weighted average costs across approximately 1,300 SKUs.

• Reconcile landed costs — including freight, duties, and inbound charges — to reflect true unit economics.

• Assist in monthly COGS true-ups and inventory valuation assessments.

• Manage vendor account reconciliations, perform statement reviews, and ensure compliance with terms.

• Serve as the primary contact for all billing matters within our supplier network.

• Monitor vendor performance metrics: variance rates, pricing fluctuations, and chargeback recoveries.

• Conduct margin analyses: track blended and category-level gross margins across all categories.

• Perform SKU analyses: assess contribution, velocity, and markdown risks across 1,300 SKUs — advise on areas to enhance and those to reduce.

• Evaluate vendor efficiency: create scorecards for suppliers based on cost, accuracy, and reliability — determine who merits increased volume and who requires attention.

• Undertake ad hoc deep dives for ownership: conduct spend reviews, analyze pricing scenarios, and address any pressing business inquiries of the week.

⛳️ Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience in accounting or a blend of accounting and FP&A, with substantial exposure to inventory, accounts payable, or cost accounting — experience in apparel, CPG, or DTC e-commerce is highly desirable.

• CPA or equivalent certification is a plus.

• Proficient in 3-way matching and comfortable challenging vendors when discrepancies arise.

• Advanced Excel skills: ability to create pivots, lookups, and models from scratch without relying on templates.

• Strong understanding of unit economics beyond journal entries — including contribution margin, landed cost, and inventory turns.

• Familiarity with ERP/accounting systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar); experience with the Shopify ecosystem is advantageous.

• Self-motivated and quick to act. Ability to prioritize clearly, take full ownership, and work independently without needing guidance.

🏝️ Benefits

• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits.

• Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.

• Flexible work arrangements to promote work-life balance.

• A supportive and collaborative team environment.
