Accounting Manager
About The Position
Ohalo is seeking an Accounting Manager to build its accounting and finance infrastructure and business processes as the company transitions from research and development-stage plant breeding to commercial seed production. Reporting to the Controller, the Accounting Manager will lead day-to-day accounting operations, develop the Accounting Analyst, and own technical accounting areas including stock-based compensation, ASC 842 lease accounting, allocations, and inventory accounting. The role calls for a first-principles thinker who investigates root causes and builds durable processes rather than applying downstream fixes. The Accounting Manager will design inventory accounting and costing across the full production chain, lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, maintain internal controls and accounting policies, and partner with FP&A and cross-functional teams. The role will also oversee the travel and expense program and lead process improvement and automation initiatives using AI tools and systems such as NetSuite, Ramp, and Zip. The position is remote and available to individuals in the Pacific, Mountain, or Central Time Zones.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
- At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience.
- Strong working knowledge of NetSuite, Ramp, and Zip, or a similar procurement/AP automation platform.
- Deep understanding of US GAAP and technical accounting concepts.
- Ability to build processes from scratch, think from first principles, and investigate root causes.
Nice To Haves
- Big 4 or public accounting experience.
- Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
- Experience with manufacturing and/or inventory accounting.
- Track record of using AI tools and process automation to change how accounting work gets done.
Responsibilities
- Review and approve the Accounting Analyst’s work, including AP processing, cash reconciliations, and journal entries, while coaching toward root-cause analysis.
- Prepare and review complex journal entries, including stock-based compensation, ASC 842 lease accounting, and cost and expense allocations.
- Build Ohalo’s inventory and manufacturing accounting process as the company moves into commercial seed production.
- Design inventory accounting and costing across the production chain, from plant material and bioreactor through greenhouse plugs, field production, harvesting and processing, seed pelletizing and treatment, packaging, storage, and shipment.
- Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close and ensure financial statements are accurate, complete, and delivered on time.
- Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations and flux analyses, researching and resolving reconciling items.
- Maintain and strengthen internal controls and accounting policies, and serve as a key point of contact for external auditors.
- Identify and lead process improvement and automation initiatives, using AI tools and system capabilities such as NetSuite, Ramp, and Zip to reduce manual work.
- Partner with FP&A and cross-functional teams on accruals, allocations, and reporting needs, and mentor the Accounting Analyst as the team grows.
- Oversee the travel and expense program, refine expense policy using Ramp AI tools, and periodically audit transactions and card activity for compliance, coding accuracy, and fraud risk.
