Job Description
This internationally renowned, luxury food company is seeking a
Senior Accountant
! For the last few years, the business has delivered consistent double-digit growth, driven by retail expansion, digital acceleration, and a strong national sales force. Now, the finance function is evolving to support the next phase of structured, scalable growth.
The U.S. entity operates a diversified model across:
- Luxury retail boutiques
- High-growth e-commerce
- National wholesale distribution
- Prestigious hospitality partnerships
The Opportunity
This is more than a Senior Accountant role — it is a clear succession plan.
Reporting directly to the CFO and working closely with the current Controller, you will play a central role in strengthening accounting operations, enhancing inventory controls, and building the foundation for more robust FP\&A capabilities.
Over the next 2–3 years, you will progressively step into the Controller position as part of a planned leadership transition.
What You’ll Own
- Support and enhance the monthly close process
- Strengthen inventory accounting and multi-channel inventory flows (retail, wholesale, e-commerce)
- Partner with operations in an inventory-heavy environment
- Support system optimization during the ongoing migration to Oracle NetSuite
- Develop reporting and analytical tools to support decision-making
- Contribute to building scalable finance processes in a growing, multi-entity business
This role requires someone who enjoys being hands-on — not purely strategic, not purely transactional — but deeply engaged in the mechanics of the business.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- Audit background strongly preferred (Big 4 / Top 20 a plus)
- Minimum 2 years of experience in accounting and/or audit
- Exposure to Food \& Beverage, luxury goods, retail, wholesale, or manufacturing environments
- Strong attention to detail and ability to work under deadlines
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- French is a strong plus
If this sounds like you and piques your interest, please apply!
