About Righteous Felon:

Righteous Felon is a premium craft meat snack brand built by a small-but-mighty team that's been at it for 14 years. With bold flavors, clean ingredients, and an unapologetic voice, we're rebels with a cause in the meat snack space, taking on a $6B+ category and helping lead the shift toward fun, better-for-you protein snacking.

We sell everywhere great snacks are sold: online, Amazon, TikTok, Costco, Wawa, Target, Kroger, and far beyond, including hotels, sports nutrition, bars, golf clubs…even at SpaceX. The momentum is real: Inc. 5000 (#1316) and Instacart's #16 Top Emerging Brand in 2025. Even still, we're under 2% of the market, which means the whitespace is massive, and we're just getting started. We're looking to add a few key players to the team for the next stage of growth.

Our Culture:

Righteous Felon is a team of thinkers and doers with bias for action. Everyone wears a lot of hats, and most of us are player/coaches: owning the work, leading when needed, and jumping in wherever it takes to win. We move fast, keep our heads down, and get things done. We test often, measure closely, learn quickly, and iterate nonstop.

We recruit great people and develop great people. Many of our leaders started as order pickers in the warehouse, because growth here is earned through ownership, attitude, results, and the ability to adapt. We're employee-owned, and we genuinely care about each other and take pride in the work we put out.

We leverage tech, automation, and AI to stay efficient and keep meetings minimal: clear owners, tight decisions, and lots of action. It's a flat organization where every voice matters and the best idea wins, no matter who it comes from. If you like working hard, making cool stuff, and being nice to people, you'll fit right in.

The Opportunity

As Righteous Felon scales across DTC, Amazon, retail, wholesale, and club, the finance function needs an owner who keeps the books clean, the close fast, and the cash visible. The Accounting Manager owns two core areas in equal measure: general ledger accounting and a timely, accurate month-end close (~50%), and managing treasury operations (alongside an existing treasury analyst), including borrowing base reporting, cash forecasting, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash reconciliation (~50%).

You'll work directly with the VP of Finance & Accounting to deliver reliable financials within five business days, keep our lender reporting accurate and on time, tighten controls, and help lead key finance projects, including the NetSuite implementation.

This is a hands-on operator's role: part closer, part controller, part cash manager, and the go-to partner for Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain on anything that touches the numbers.

Key Responsibilities :

General Ledger & Month-End Close (~50%)

• Lead the month end close process and calendar, and deliver accurate financial statements within five business days
• Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and reclasses, and maintain the chart of accounts
• Complete balance sheet account reconciliations and variance analysis with clear explanations
• Identify/correct ledger errors, and drive ongoing improvements to accounting processes, controls, and data quality
• Support inventory and COGS accounting with Operations and Supply Chain
• Maintain close documentation and internal controls

Treasury Management – Borrowing Base, Cash, A/R & A/P (~50%)

• Prepare and submit borrowing base certificates and related lender reporting accurately and on time
• Build and maintain the short-term cash forecast, and support working capital management
• Manage A/R and collections: invoicing, cash application, aging reviews, and follow-up on past-due accounts
• Monitor A/P and own bill entry: vendor setup, invoice processing, approvals, payment runs, and 1099 compliance
• Manage customer deductions and trade spend: validate, dispute, and resolve retailer deductions and chargebacks, and accurately accrue and account for trade spend with Sales
• Process and track checks, including check deposits and check payments
• Perform daily/weekly bank and credit card reconciliations and report cash position
• Strengthen payment controls, segregation of duties, and fraud prevention practices

Key Projects

• NetSuite: help lead implementation, configuration, and ongoing optimization
• Lender field exams and inventory appraisals: prepare support and serve as the primary point of contact
• Tax filings: prepare or coordinate filings with outside CPA
• Annual review/audit: prepare schedules and support, and manage requests from outside accountants

Cross-Functional Partnership & Team Support

• Partner with Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, lenders, and outside CPA/auditors to keep the financial picture accurate and integrated
• Serve as the main point of contact for customer and vendor payment questions
• Provide backup coverage for finance team members during PTO so critical tasks stay on schedule
• Handle ad hoc analysis and requests from leadership as needed

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including month-end close ownership
• Prior hands-on experience with both QuickBooks Online (QBO) and NetSuite
• Hands-on A/R, A/P, and bank reconciliation experience
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP
• Advanced Excel
• Eagerness to integrate AI agents/workflows wherever possible
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and deadline-driven; clear communicator
• Able to work on-site in Exton, PA. First ~6 months will require 4 days in office and 1-day WFH. Potential to transition to 3 days in office and 2 days WFH based on performance.

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA or progress toward CPA
• Experience with asset-based lending, including borrowing base certificates, field exams, and inventory appraisals
• CPG / food & beverage experience, including trade deductions and retailer chargebacks
• Experience at a growing or mid-sized company building processes and controls, including system migrations (e.g., QBO to NetSuite)
• Supervisory experience

What Success Looks Like

• First 30 days: Learn systems, close calendar, borrowing base, and A/R/A/P workflows; complete first close alongside the team
• First 90 days: Fully own month-end close and treasury functions; borrowing base and cash forecast delivered on time; all balance sheet and bank accounts reconciled monthly; A/R aging and deductions under active management
• First year: Consistent close within five business days; documented close and treasury procedures; improved DSO and on-time vendor payments; smooth field exam and clean review/audit with no material adjustments; meaningful progress on NetSuite

Benefits & Perks

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible PTO policy
• Hybrid work environment (Exton, PA)
