About Beautylish
Beautylish is a cosmetics and skincare vertical with a presence in both the retail e-commerce and wholesale space. Operating across multiple entities and international markets, we partner with best-in-class brands and major retailers, and run our own product lines— including fast-growing skincare brand Good Molecules— to serve a loyal, global customer base. Our finance team sits at the center of this growth, using NetSuite as our ERP backbone and applying rigorous accounting standards across multi-currency, multi-entity operations.
The Role
We are seeking an Accounting Manager to take ownership of our day-to-day accounting operations and help us scale a high-functioning finance function. Reporting to the Controller, you will lead a small team and be hands-on across the full accounting cycle—from month-end close and GL reconciliations to process improvement and cross-functional reporting.
We believe in getting better every month. That means rolling up your sleeves before delegating, understanding the business deeply, and being comfortable with ambiguity in a lean, fast-moving environment. This role will grow as the company and team grow.
Responsibilities include:
- Month-End & Year-End Close: Oversee and actively participate in all areas of the monthly and year-end close cycle, including AR, AP, GL account reconciliations, intercompany accounting, multi-entity consolidations, analytical review, and reporting—ensuring compliance with US GAAP. Our standard is a 10-day close cycle
- Process Improvement & Controls: Identify process gaps and drive automation and streamlining efforts; implementation and maintenance of internal controls and proper audit documentation
- NetSuite & Systems Administration: Administer NetSuite including saved searches, GL audits, and maintenance of organized, audit-ready financial records; translate raw financial data into actionable business insights
- Daily Operations: Oversee daily transactions: cash management, AP/AR, banking, payroll review, accrued purchases reconciliation, and monthly foreign exchange rate updates for multi-currency operations
- Financial Reporting: Assist in preparation of financial statements and variance analysis, support Income and Indirect Tax requests and compliance as needed for international entities
- Team Leadership: Directly supervise 2–3 team members (including remote staff): set goals, delegate effectively, review work, provide coaching, and conduct performance reviews
Preferred Skills, Experience, & Qualifications:
- 1-2 years experience at the Accounting Manager level
- BS degree in Accounting or Finance; Accounting certification (e.g. CMA or CPA) is a plus but not required
- Hands-on NetSuite experience (administration, saved searches, GL reporting); advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, complex formulas)
- Experience with driving a hard-close deadline; our goal is a 10-day close cycle
- Multi-entity accounting experience including intercompany transactions, consolidations and cost allocation framework
- Experience with multi-currency accounting and monthly foreign exchange rate processes
- Strong people-management skills: delegation, feedback, coaching for continuous improvement
- Ability to prioritize competing demands, meet deadlines, and operate effectively in ambiguity
- Comfortable establishing new processes and working through complex or conflicting information
Other Requirements:
- Must have current U.S. work authorization and currently reside in the U.S.
- Hybrid position: 3 days per week onsite at our Walnut Creek, CA office
