Staff Accountant for a U.S. Men's Apparel Brand in Brazil at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Accountant for a U.S. Men's Apparel Brand based in Brazil.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and commercially minded Staff Accountant to oversee the daily accounting operations of a fast-growing direct-to-consumer apparel business generating over $10 million in monthly revenue. In this role, you will take ownership of accounts payable, vendor reconciliations, inventory accuracy, and cost of goods sold (COGS) across a portfolio of approximately 1,300 SKUs. Beyond traditional accounting responsibilities, you will transform financial data into actionable business insights that support profitability and operational efficiency. Working directly with company ownership, you will have the opportunity to identify discrepancies, uncover cost-saving opportunities, and influence important business decisions. This is a hands-on position in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where accuracy, initiative, and analytical thinking are highly valued. The ideal candidate combines strong accounting fundamentals with a deep understanding of inventory management and unit economics.

• Accounts Payable Management: Oversee the full accounts payable cycle, including processing, coding, and scheduling vendor invoices across the supplier network.
• Perform three-way matching between purchase orders, receiving reports, and vendor invoices to ensure accurate payments and identify discrepancies.
• Manage payment cycles, monitor vendor payment terms, capture early-payment discounts, and resolve billing discrepancies directly with suppliers.
• Receiving and Inventory Reconciliation: Reconcile invoiced quantities against actual goods received on a daily basis, identifying short shipments, production variances, and pricing errors before they impact financial reporting.
• Collaborate with fulfillment leadership to maintain accurate receiving records and strengthen inventory documentation processes.
• COGS and Cost Management: Maintain accurate weighted-average costs across approximately 1,300 SKUs and reconcile landed costs, including freight, duties, and inbound charges, to establish accurate unit economics.
• Support monthly COGS adjustments, inventory valuation reviews, and cost reconciliation processes.
• Vendor Account Management: Manage vendor account reconciliations, review supplier statements, ensure compliance with payment terms, and serve as the primary point of contact for billing-related matters.
• Monitor vendor performance through cost variance analysis, pricing changes, accuracy tracking, and chargeback recovery opportunities.
• Financial Analysis and Reporting: Track blended and category-level gross margins, analyze SKU-level contribution, sales velocity, and markdown exposure.
• Develop vendor scorecards to evaluate supplier costs, accuracy, and reliability.
• Conduct ad hoc financial analyses for ownership, including spending reviews, pricing scenarios, profitability assessments, and other business-critical investigations.
• Identify financial discrepancies, operational inefficiencies, and cost-saving opportunities, translating findings into actionable recommendations.

• 3–6 years of professional experience in accounting or a combination of accounting and financial planning and analysis (FP&A), with hands-on exposure to inventory accounting, accounts payable, or cost accounting.
• Previous experience in apparel, consumer packaged goods (CPG), or direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce businesses is strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of full-cycle accounts payable processes and three-way matching, with the confidence to investigate discrepancies and challenge vendors when figures do not align.
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookup functions, and the ability to build financial models and analytical reports from scratch.
• Solid understanding of inventory accounting, cost of goods sold, gross margins, and unit economics, with the ability to connect financial data to business performance.
• Experience using ERP and accounting platforms such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar systems.
• Familiarity with Shopify and the broader e-commerce ecosystem is considered an advantage.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
• Highly self-directed, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of daily accounting operations in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to communicate financial findings clearly, work independently, and collaborate directly with company ownership and operational teams.

• Fully remote, work-from-anywhere opportunity.
• Competitive salary paid in U.S. dollars (USD).
• Opportunity to work directly with company ownership and contribute to important financial and operational decisions.
• Significant ownership and autonomy over daily accounting operations.
• Exposure to a high-growth e-commerce business generating over $10 million in monthly revenue.
• Opportunity to develop expertise in inventory accounting, cost analysis, vendor management, and financial strategy.
