Senior Accountant - Inventory

West Hollywood, CA 90069

Posted: 09/26/2026 Job Titles: ACCT - Accountant, ACCT - Sr. Accountant Job Number: 5882 Pay Rate: 110,000

Job Description


Alliance Resource Group is partnering exclusively with a fast-growing beauty and personal care company to identify a Senior Accountant with strong experience across inventory, COGS and the accounting complexities of a physical-product business.

This is a hands-on role reporting closely to the Controller and offers the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of inventory accounting while also providing analysis around COGS, gross margin and operational performance.

The company operates across multiple sales channels, creating an environment where inventory accuracy, strong reconciliations and the ability to understand what's driving margin are increasingly important as the business scales.
What You'll Do

  • Own key aspects of inventory and COGS accounting

  • Perform inventory reconciliations and roll-forwards

  • Support month-end close, journal entries and balance-sheet reconciliations

  • Analyze COGS, gross margin and inventory-related variances

  • Investigate discrepancies across inventory systems, warehouses and fulfillment partners

  • Support inventory reserves, adjustments and obsolescence analysis

  • Partner with accounting, finance, operations and supply-chain teams

  • Help improve inventory controls, reporting and accounting processes

  • Analyze inventory and margin trends and identify potential issues

  • Support an increasingly complex multi-channel consumer-products business
What We're Looking For

  • Approximately 4+ years of accounting experience

  • Strong hands-on experience with inventory accounting and COGS

  • Experience supporting or owning month-end close

  • Strong balance-sheet reconciliation skills

  • Ability to analyze large data sets and investigate discrepancies

  • Advanced Excel skills

  • Experience working within an ERP environment

  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills

  • Comfortable working in a fast-growing environment where processes continue to evolve
Preferred Background
Experience within a physical-product business is strongly preferred, including:

  • Beauty / Personal Care / Cosmetics

  • Consumer Products / CPG

  • Food & Beverage

  • Apparel

  • E-commerce

  • Retail / Wholesale

  • Consumer Electronics

  • Other inventory-intensive businesses

Experience with DTC, Amazon, wholesale/retail, 3PLs or other multi-channel environments would be particularly valuable.
Why Consider It?
This is an opportunity to join a growing consumer brand at a point where inventory, COGS and gross-margin visibility are becoming increasingly important to the business.

Rather than being one piece of a large accounting organization, this person will have the opportunity to become a key resource around inventory and cost accounting, partner directly with leadership and help improve processes as the company continues to scale.
