Role
Who you are
- 1-2 years experience at the Accounting Manager level
- BS degree in Accounting or Finance; Accounting certification (e.g. CMA or CPA) is a plus but not required
- Hands-on NetSuite experience (administration, saved searches, GL reporting); advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, complex formulas)
- Experience with driving a hard-close deadline; our goal is a 10-day close cycle
- Multi-entity accounting experience including intercompany transactions, consolidations and cost allocation framework
- Experience with multi-currency accounting and monthly foreign exchange rate processes
- Strong people-management skills: delegation, feedback, coaching for continuous improvement
- Ability to prioritize competing demands, meet deadlines, and operate effectively in ambiguity
- Comfortable establishing new processes and working through complex or conflicting information
What the job involves
- We are seeking an Accounting Manager to take ownership of our day-to-day accounting operations and help us scale a high-functioning finance function
- Reporting to the Controller, you will lead a small team and be hands-on across the full accounting cycle—from month-end close and GL reconciliations to process improvement and cross-functional reporting
- We believe in getting better every month
- That means rolling up your sleeves before delegating, understanding the business deeply, and being comfortable with ambiguity in a lean, fast-moving environment
- This role will grow as the company and team grow
- Month-End & Year-End Close: Oversee and actively participate in all areas of the monthly and year-end close cycle, including AR, AP, GL account reconciliations, intercompany accounting, multi-entity consolidations, analytical review, and reporting—ensuring compliance with US GAAP. Our standard is a 10-day close cycle
- Process Improvement & Controls: Identify process gaps and drive automation and streamlining efforts; implementation and maintenance of internal controls and proper audit documentation
- NetSuite & Systems Administration: Administer NetSuite including saved searches, GL audits, and maintenance of organized, audit-ready financial records; translate raw financial data into actionable business insights
- Daily Operations: Oversee daily transactions: cash management, AP/AR, banking, payroll review, accrued purchases reconciliation, and monthly foreign exchange rate updates for multi-currency operations
- Financial Reporting: Assist in preparation of financial statements and variance analysis, support Income and Indirect Tax requests and compliance as needed for international entities
- Team Leadership: Directly supervise 2–3 team members (including remote staff): set goals, delegate effectively, review work, provide coaching, and conduct performance reviews
Our take
The vast majority of people will test makeup in-store and purchase it online, but the unique angle that Beautylish has taken presents an opportunity for consumers to discover and purchase products in the same space. Furthermore, the company also stands out by providing flexible and interest-free payment programs, an unusual feature for a cosmetic digital marketplace.
Beautylish runs an online social marketplace that specializes in reviewing, discussing, and selling cosmetic products. Instead of simply selling makeup, the online marketplace enhances the user experience, in addition to hosting an active userbase that reviews each product.
The cosmetics industry thrives on socializing and sharing the latest makeup tips and products, yet online marketplaces do not reflect this. Instead, online makeup discussion has so far existed primarily on social media platforms and blogs, raising questions as to why there is not an integrated social eCommerce platform for the topic. And this is exactly where Beautylish shines, by bridging the gap between shopping and community, it offers a more immersive, connected beauty experience that traditional retailers have yet to replicate.
