## Description (the employer's text)

WHO WE ARE:

BaubleBar designs accessories that make life more fun. Founded in 2010, the company is known for its statement-making styles that create joy and bring people together. Today, BaubleBar’s unabashedly optimistic perspective can be found across multiple accessory categories sold direct-to-consumer and in over 8,500 retail stores globally.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re seeking an experienced Assistant Controller to serve as the operational backbone of the accounting close and transactional world for the Company. This role owns the full transactional accounting cycle – accounts payable and travel & expense, revenue accounting, and accounts receivable – while also directly maintaining the general ledger accounts that fall outside the functional teams, including fixed assets, prepaids, cash and other corporate balance sheet accounts. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring strong technical accounting knowledge, general ledger ownership, people management skills and deep familiarity with e-commerce revenue, payment and collections processes.

WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO:

### Team Leadership & Oversight

- Directly manage and develop the Accounting Supervisor, Revenue Accountant and Part-Time AR Manager
- Serve as the escalation point for judgment calls, exceptions and unusual transactions
- Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews and career development planning for direct reports
- Identify process improvement and automation opportunities across all owned functions
### AP & Travel and Expense (via Accounting Supervisor)

- Review and approve the AP aging and cash disbursement forecast
- Oversee the Accounting Supervisor’s management of vendor master data controls, invoice-PO match exception resolution, and T&E policy compliance
- Review matters requiring elevated technical judgment: complex accrual estimates, vendor disputes, and contract interpretation
### Revenue Accounting

- Review monthly revenue-to-cash reconciliations across all sales channels (e.g. Shopify, Amazon, wholesale, etc.)
- Oversee revenue recognition policy application, including treatment of chargebacks, returns/refund reserves, and payment processor fees
- Review and approve judgmental reserve estimates
### Accounts Receivable (via AR Manager)

- Own the AR reserve in partnership with the AR Manager
- Oversee the AR Manager’s direction of collections aging, customer credit memos and deduction management (particularly wholesale chargebacks and allowances)
- Ensure cash application accuracy and timely resolution of unapplied cash through the AR Manager and AR Specialist
### Close Process & Controls

- Own the close calendar and checklist across all managed functions and direct GL accounts; ensure deadlines are met
- Prepare and/or review balance sheet reconcilations for all accounts – prior to Controller sign-off
- Prepare and review manual and non-system journal entries for accuracy and appropriate support
- Support internal control design, documentation and testing
### General Ledger & Corporate Accounting

- Directly prepare and/or review monthly cash reconciliations for all operating, payroll and merchant/payment processor bank accounts
- Own the fixed asset sub-ledger: capitalization policy application, monthly depreciation, disposals, internal software capitalizations
- Maintain prepaid expense and accrued liability schedules not owned by AP/T&E, Revenue or AR
- Record and reconcile debt instruments, as applicable
- Record and account for investments and related interest
- Prepare and/or review lease (ASC 842) and other corporate schedules as applicable
- Service as secondary technical reviewer alongside the Controller for non-routine GL entries and account classifications outside the transactional functions above
WHAT WE WANT TO SEE:

- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or related field required
- CPA strongly preferred
- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or management capacity
- Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP
- Experience with multi-channel e-commerce accounting strongly preferred
- Proficiency with ERP systems (NetSuite strongly preferred) and advanced Excel skills
