Sr. E-commerce Accountant
Remote from LATAM | International Independent Contractor | $3,000–$4,000 USD/month
About the Company
Our client is a fast-growing connected fitness equipment company specializing in innovative stair climbers and expanding its product line to include treadmills, performance equipment, and fitness accessories.
The company sells through multiple channels, including direct-to-consumer e-commerce, national retail partners, and commercial fitness accounts. With manufacturing overseas and products imported into the United States, the finance function involves inventory accounting, landed costs, customs duties, tariffs, multi-channel revenue, and lender reporting.
They are looking for a highly capable accounting professional who can take genuine ownership of the accounting function and grow with the business.
The Role
We are seeking a Senior Accountant with the level and title determined by experience.
Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, you will play a critical role in managing the company's day-to-day accounting operations, monthly close, AP, AR, inventory accounting, treasury support, and financial reporting.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys ownership and variety. You won't simply review work completed by others—you'll be responsible for doing the work, improving processes, identifying issues, and building documentation as the company scales.
For the right person, this role has the potential to grow into a finance leadership position with a team reporting into it over time.

What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years at a senior or supervisory level.

• Proven full-cycle accounting experience. You have personally managed or owned a month-end close.

• Experience with inventory accounting in a physical-product business, such as manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, or e-commerce.

• Hands-on experience with NetSuite. Strong candidates with experience in another mid-market ERP such as Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365 Business Central, or SAP Business One may also be considered.

• Professional written and spoken English fluency.

• Comfortable communicating directly with U.S. vendors and customers.

• Advanced Excel and Google Sheets skills, including lookups, pivot tables, large-file reconciliations, and complex workbooks.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to independently investigate and resolve discrepancies.

Strongly Preferred

• Multi-entity or multi-currency accounting and consolidation experience.

• Shopify or other e-commerce accounting experience.

• Contador Público or equivalent local accounting qualification.

• Experience working in a small or rapidly scaling company where you were responsible for executing the work, not simply reviewing it.

This Role May Not Be For You If...

• You need every process to be fully documented before you can get started.

• You prefer a narrowly defined accounting function.

• You're uncomfortable working across AP, AR, close, inventory, and treasury.

• You don't enjoy communicating directly with U.S. vendors and customers.

• You prefer reviewing work rather than taking ownership of the underlying processes.

Much of the company's current processes are still being built and documented. The person joining this role will be expected to help create the structure as they take ownership.
What Success Looks Like in Your First 90 Days
First 30 Days

• Learn the company's systems, processes, and general ledger.

• Take ownership of AP entry and payment run preparation.

• Produce a clean, accurate AP aging with written commentary.

• Build relationships with key internal and external stakeholders.

Days 31–60

• Take full ownership of AR and collections.

• Communicate directly with customers regarding outstanding balances.

• Complete a supervised first pass of the month-end close.

• Resolve outstanding unapplied cash and credits.

Days 61–90

• Own the month-end close end to end.

• Take ownership of the reconciliation package and borrowing base preparation.

• Document AP and AR processes through clear SOPs.

• Identify and present the first three process improvements you would prioritize.

Why Join?
This is an opportunity to join a lean, growing company where your work will have a direct impact on the business.
You'll work closely with finance leadership, gain exposure to areas of accounting that are often reserved for much larger organizations, and have the opportunity to build processes rather than simply inherit them.
The environment is collaborative, direct, and low on bureaucracy. The expectation is simple: take ownership, communicate proactively, and bring solutions—not just problems.
If you're a hands-on senior accounting professional who wants meaningful responsibility and room to grow into leadership, we'd love to hear from you.
