Junior Accountant

About Us

We design and build premium, American-made workwear for the skilled trades: double-knee utility pants, hoodies, and durable work shirts engineered to outlast cheap, disposable gear.

Our mission is to make the best workwear in the world. We are a small team that takes pride in quality craftsmanship and hands-on work, and we have grown fast, so there is real room to grow into more responsibility.

About the Role

We are seeking a Junior Accountant to support daily accounting operations across a growing two-entity manufacturer.

The position carries responsibility for customer invoicing, receivables follow-up and accounts payable processing, and contributes to the monthly close through account reconciliations, variance analysis and journal entry support.

This is a development role. Technical responsibility expands on a defined schedule, with direct review from the Head of Finance & Operations and exposure to inventory, manufacturing cost and inter-company accounting that is uncommon at this level.

The role reports to the Head of Finance & Operations, who works between our Boston and Amesbury locations. Candidates should be comfortable managing their own priorities and deadlines.

What You'll Do

Customer Invoicing and Receivables
- Generate customer invoices and credit memos accurately and on schedule
- Apply cash receipts and keep the AR aging current
- Follow up on past due balances and resolve billing questions directly with customers

Accounts Payable
- Enter vendor bills, code them to the correct account and class, and route them for approval
- Set up and maintain vendor records, W-9s and payment details
- Reconcile vendor statements and track down discrepancies

Account Reconciliations
- Reconcile bank and credit card accounts monthly
- Build and maintain balance sheet reconciliations with supporting detail
- Investigate and clear reconciling items rather than carrying them forward

Analysis and Close Support
- Prepare month over month and budget to actual flux analysis, with written explanations for what drove each variance
- Assist with recurring journal entries, accruals and prepaids
- Help prepare monthly reporting packages and support the annual audit

What You'll Learn Here
- How a month-end close actually runs, start to finish
- Reconciliation discipline: how to build a rec that ties, and what to do when it doesn't
- Flux analysis: how to take a number that changed and explain why, which is the most transferable skill in accounting
- Inventory and manufacturing cost accounting, which most people at this level never get near
- Multi-entity and inter-company work between our two entities

Skills

- 0 to 2 years of accounting or bookkeeping experience, internships included, with an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or Business or equivalent hands-on experience

QuickBooks Online exposure, an AP automation platform, and any exposure to inventory, manufacturing or cost accounting.
