Description

Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that pairs remote work with top-tier talent. We admire the importance of innovative social media strategies and are committed to connecting talented individuals with great companies that need their unique skills. Our mission is to provide great jobs to gifted people, regardless of location. About the Client Our client is a rapidly scaling direct-to-consumer lifestyle apparel brand built on the mindset of living with intent — we don't just sell gear, we enable a lifestyle: Die on Empty. Our customers are loyal, our drops sell out, and we're building something meaningful. Here's what makes this role different: we fulfill everything ourselves. No 3PL, no outsourced warehouse — we own the building, the boxes, and every order that leaves the dock. As Cove scales, that operation must evolve just as fast. We're looking for a sharp, execution-driven leader to own the physical side of the business and build the engine that gets us to the next several multiples of scale. About the Role This is not a back-office job. This is the financial nerve center of a fast-moving DTC operation. You'll own the daily accounting engine — AP, receiving reconciliation, vendor accounts, COGS accuracy — and then you'll do what most accountants can't: turn those numbers into answers. Which SKUs are printing money and which are dead weight? Which vendors are quietly bleeding us on variances? Where do our margins stack up against the best DTC apparel brands in the game? You'll work directly with ownership. No layers, no bureaucracy. We handle month-end close and the big strategic calls — you run the daily operation, surface what matters, and bring analysis sharp enough to change decisions. When you find something, it gets acted on that day. If you've ever caught a six-figure error nobody else saw, or built the analysis that killed a bad product line — this is your room. Responsibilities Accounts Payable — full cycle Process, code, and schedule vendor invoices across our full supplier base Execute 3-way matching (PO → receiving report → invoice) on every inbound shipment Run payment cycles, track terms, and capture early-pay discounts Resolve discrepancies directly with vendors — you make the call, we back you up Receiving & Inventory Accuracy Daily reconciliation of invoiced quantities vs. goods actually received on our dock Catch short ships, production variances, and pricing errors before they become write-offs Partner with fulfillment leadership to keep receiving documentation airtight COGS & Unit Economics Maintain weighted average cost accuracy across ~1,300 SKUs Reconcile landed costs — freight, duties, inbound charges — into true unit economics Support monthly COGS true-ups and inventory valuation reviews Vendor Management Own vendor account reconciliations, statement reviews, and terms compliance Be the first line on anything billing-related with our supplier network Track vendor performance: variance rates, pricing drift, chargeback recovery Analysis — where you separate yourself Margin analysis: blended and category-level gross margin tracking across all categories. SKU analysis: contribution, velocity, and markdown exposure across 1,300 SKUs — tell us what to double down on and what to cut Vendor efficiency: scorecard our suppliers on cost, accuracy, and reliability — who earns more volume and who's on notice Ad hoc deep-dives for ownership: spend reviews, pricing scenarios, whatever the business needs answered this week 3–6 years in accounting or accounting + FP&A, with real inventory, AP, or cost accounting exposure — apparel, CPG, or DTC e-commerce strongly preferred CPA or equivalent is nice to have Fluent in 3-way matching and unafraid to push back on vendors when the numbers don't add up Excel killer: pivots, lookups, and models built from scratch. You don't wait for a template You think in unit economics, not just journal entries — contribution margin, landed cost, turns ERP/accounting systems experience (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar); Shopify ecosystem familiarity is a plus Self-directed and fast. Clear priorities, full ownership, no hand-holding
