About The Position

TravisMathew is a premium apparel brand that exists because we seized an opportunity—and we’re inviting you to take yours. Back in 2007, we saw there weren’t many companies whose clothing bridged the gap between performance and lifestyle, so we created our own. Inspired by the sun, surf, and sand of Southern California, we became a leading innovator in lifestyle performance apparel by making clothes for real life—plus working with premium wholesalers, building a leading e-commerce business, and opening retail stores around the world. We invite you to join team TravisMathew. The Senior Cost Accountant is responsible for providing timely and accurate analysis to support management in making informed business decisions. This role ensures the accuracy, completeness, and relevance of accounting ledgers and financial information, and partners with functional business leaders to set, measure, and achieve financial goals and objectives. Additionally, the Senior Cost Accountant prepares monthly journal entries, reserves, and reporting to communicate current performance expectations and identify existing risks and opportunities.
