Hello candidates,

I am pleased to meet you and thank you for applying for the accounting manager position within our company. This job is a special one that comes once or twice in a lifetime. You will work with an energetic group of executives that are eager to take companies public and grow multiple business lines within the tobacco, cannabis, and general merchandise industry. You will not be hired to operate within a single company but will be exposed to learning, growing, and participating in the financial planning for 3-5 companies.

About the Company:

You will be working for multiple companies within this job scope. Primarily you will be working directly with the COO and CEO of the parent company within a manufacturing and distribution business model. You will be trained and exposed to the financial side of manufacturing, sales, national distribution, merger, and acquisitions.

Scope of Work:

At the start you will be responsible for learning the trades of the manufacturing and distribution business, preferably you already have experience in one or both fields. We do not discourage applicants that have not worked in this field in the past and are eager to learn a new field. You will be expected to know basic accounting knowledge and have experience in taxation law (optimization of business expense classification).

Your daily tasks will be to reconcile payables and receivables within the companies to determine carrying cashflows and proposed budget planning. You will be tasked with the responsibility to maintain the books for multiple companies and develop workflows for automatizing such tasks.

Furthermore, you will be expected to have experience in direct client relationships. You will be asked to maintain communications with vendors and customers to administer account payables and account receivables. This will be an essential part of the job as you grow within the company.

Our preferred software is Quickbooks enterprise which is used across all the companies that you will be working on. We welcome applicants that have worked with SAP, Dynamics, and other SAAS systems.

As the company grows you will need to have a good understanding of commission payables and payroll tracking. You will be tasked to manage budged expenses for employee hiring, contractor payables, and sales commission tracking.

Additionally, at the end of every month, you will be responsible to present the financial status of each company to the management team. You will need to have a good understanding of the profit and loss reports, asset and liability tracking (balance sheet), pending account receivables and payables, expense reports, budget planning for company expansion projects, and expense optimization.

Within this scope, you will become a well-versed accountant within the manufacturing, distribution, merger, and acquisitions. You will be expected to grow your responsibilities and seek opportunities within the company's expansion plans.

As COO, it is my goal to train and educate you with all the skills to become a CFO within this company.
