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
     
This is a full time, salaried/exempt position with a planned compensation range of $130-150k, depending on experience. Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, 401k with 6% company match, competitive PTO, parental leave, flexible schedule, monthly hybrid wfh stipend, commuter benefits, & on-site parking.
