Cash Management & Working Capital 

• Manage daily cash positioning, bank activity review, and cash availability reporting; escalate exceptions and support cash controls (approvals, segregation of duties). 

• Maintain short-term cash forecast and weekly liquidity outlook in partnership with FP&A and AP/AR; identify drivers and propose actions to improve working capital. 

• Support banking operations (account maintenance, fees analysis, positive pay/ACH controls where applicable) and assist with treasury-related schedules and reporting. 

• Partner with Supply Chain and Procurement to align payment timing with inventory receipts and production schedules while maintaining strong vendor relationships. 

Cross-Functional Partnership & Systems 

• Serve as the finance point of contact for supply chain accounting matters, providing clear guidance to Operations, Procurement, and 3PL/contract manufacturing partners. 

• Improve data quality and automation across inventory, AP, and cash processes; help define requirements and user acceptance testing for system enhancements. 

• Develop and monitor key metrics (inventory turns, aging/reserves, freight-in as % of sales, working capital) and communicate trends and risks to the Controller and business partners. 

Qualifications 

• Experience: 4 -8 years of progressive accounting experience, including inventory/cost accounting, supply chain finance/accounting, and month-end close in CPG, beauty, retail, or manufacturing environments.
