Full job description
Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that pairs remote work with top-tier talent. We help individuals from around the world connect with great companies that are looking for their specific skill set. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.
About the role
We are hiring on behalf of a fast-growing DTC men's apparel brand doing over $10M per month in revenue. Comfort-first, performance-minded basics: shorts, tees, hoodies, pants. California-rooted, 100% bootstrapped, running on Shopify with paid Meta as the growth engine.
The Role
This is not a back-office job. This is the financial nerve center of a fast-moving DTC operation.
You will own the daily accounting engine covering AP, receiving reconciliation, vendor accounts, and COGS accuracy. Then you will do what most accountants cannot: turn those numbers into answers. Which SKUs are printing money and which are dead weight? Which vendors are quietly bleeding the company on variances?
You will work directly with ownership. No layers, no bureaucracy. Ownership handles month-end close and the big strategic calls. You run the daily operation, surface what matters, and bring analysis sharp enough to change decisions. When you find something, it gets acted on that day.
If you have ever caught a six-figure error nobody else saw, or built the analysis that killed a bad product line, this is your room.
What You'll Own
Accounts Payable, full cycle
- Process, code, and schedule vendor invoices across the full supplier base
- Execute 3-way matching (PO, receiving report, invoice) on every inbound shipment
- Run payment cycles, track terms, and capture early-pay discounts
- Resolve discrepancies directly with vendors
Receiving and Inventory Accuracy
- Daily reconciliation of invoiced quantities against goods actually received
- Catch short ships, production variances, and pricing errors before they become write-offs
- Partner with fulfillment leadership to keep receiving documentation airtight
COGS and Unit Economics
- Maintain weighted average cost accuracy across roughly 1,300 SKUs
- Reconcile landed costs including freight, duties, and inbound charges into true unit economics
- Support monthly COGS true-ups and inventory valuation reviews
Vendor Management
- Own vendor account reconciliations, statement reviews, and terms compliance
- First line on anything billing-related with the supplier network
- Track vendor performance: variance rates, pricing drift, chargeback recovery
Analysis
- Blended and category-level gross margin tracking
- SKU contribution, velocity, and markdown exposure across 1,300 SKUs
- Vendor scorecards on cost, accuracy, and reliability
- Ad hoc deep-dives for ownership: spend reviews, pricing scenarios, whatever needs answering that week
