Inventory Accounting Manager

Who We Are

At Voyage Foods, our mission is to make delicious, sustainable, and accessible foods that are better for people and the planet. All of our products work together to support and sustain a food system designed for everyone, now and into the future. We're a team of food scientists, CPG experts, and professionals with a passion for making good food available for generations to come.

What do peanut butter, chocolate, and coffee have in common? They're some of our favorite foods but are often inaccessible and unsustainable. That's why we created our Nut-Free Spreads, Cocoa-Free Chocolate, and Bean-Free Coffee. From food allergies to climate change and unjust labor practices, the foods we love are in serious need of an upgrade. Our future-proofed foods are always top-9 allergen-free, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, affordable, and most importantly, utterly delicious.

How We Work

We're a rapidly growing team of people who value diversity in all its forms. We love adding new perspectives and appreciate those who ask questions that help us challenge assumptions, explore new directions, and improve what we've already built. We are a group of like-minded difference makers. Curiosity drives our development. We have tenacity and a risk-taking mentality at every level of our organization to keep challenging normalcy. We believe it's our responsibility to create an environment in which every person can bring their full, authentic selves to work. We push each other to be our best and do our products proud.

Position Summary

We are seeking curious, creative, and detail-oriented and experienced Inventory Accounting Manager to oversee and enhance our inventory accounting processes, with a particular focus on ensuring accurate cost accounting, inventory valuation, and procurement accounting.

• Perform monthly inventory close, including preparing COGS entries, accruals, and reconciliations.
  
  
• Oversee standard cost and inventory valuation methodology (e.g., FIFO, weighted average), and analyze variances between actual and standard costs.
  
  
• Support physical inventory counts, cycle counts, and related reconciliations; lead process improvements to reduce shrinkage and errors.
  
  
• Assist with the implementation and optimization of ERP inventory and purchasing modules; serve as a subject matter expert for inventory-related ERP functions.
  
  
• Prepare internal and external audit schedules related to inventory and procurement.
  
  
• Ensure SOX/internal control compliance over inventory accounting processes.
  
  
• Develop KPIs and dashboards for inventory accuracy, purchase price variance, and receiving/invoicing performance.
  
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Economics, Business, Accounting, Finance or any STEM field; CPA not required but preferred.
  
  
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2 years in inventory or cost accounting.
  
  
• Prior experience in manufacturing, CPG, food, or retail environment highly desirable.
  
  
• Strong understanding of 3-way match processes and ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics).
  
  
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across departments and resolve complex transactional discrepancies.
  
  
• Excellent Excel skills; experience with reporting tools and data analytics a plus.
  
  
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; meticulous attention to detail.
  
  
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and evolving environment.
