About the Role

Force of Nature is a category-disrupting brand that has quickly become the fastest growing brand in meat. Founded to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network, we are revolutionizing the industry to not just improve but to create positive returns for land, for animal welfare, for communities, and for consumers. We're a growing meat CPG company entering our next phase of scale and operational maturity. We're looking for a Senior Accountant with strong costing experience to help build, lead, and strengthen our accounting foundation.

This is a highly hands-on role where you will own and evolve our costing function while also providing support within the accounting function. You'll play a key role in improving cost visibility, inventory accuracy, and margin insights in a complex environment that includes perishability, yield variability, and co-manufacturing.

We currently operate in an average costing environment and are looking to evolve toward a more robust standard costing framework. This role will be instrumental in helping design, implement, and govern that transition while guiding cross-functional alignment and team execution.

If you enjoy building processes, developing people, working cross-functionally, and turning operational data into financial insight, this role offers high impact and visibility. For the right person, this dynamic and fast-paced environment checks all the boxes of supporting a mission-based company with an opportunity to develop professionally.

What You'll Do

Costing & Inventory

• Own and enhance cost accounting processes, currently average costing (will include transition to standard costing).
• Partner with operations, procurement, and co-manufacturers to improve BOM integrity, routing assumptions, and cost drivers.
• Support accurate inventory valuation, including raw materials, WIP, and finished goods in a perishable environment.
• Strengthen controls around inventory movements, cycle counts, and waste tracking.
• Support COGS forecasting and budgeting, including commodity-driven cost fluctuations.
• Provide leadership and oversight of costing processes, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and scalability across the organization.
• Review and validate reporting outputs, ensuring high-quality insights are delivered to leadership.
• Drive cross-functional accountability with operations and supply chain partners related to cost drivers and inventory accuracy.
• Analyze yield, shrink, and spoilage, translating findings into actionable insights.

General Accounting & Close (Supporting)

• Support key components of the month-end close, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations.
• Assist with balance sheet reconciliations, particularly inventory and related accounts.
• Help build and maintain scalable accounting processes and internal controls.
• Support financial statement preparation in accordance with GAAP.
• Assist with external audits and provide required documentation.
• Identify opportunities for process improvements and automation.
• Support ERP enhancements or system improvements, particularly related to costing and inventory.
• Oversee elements of the close process to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to internal deadlines.
• Review reconciliations and journal entries prepared by others, as applicable, to maintain strong internal controls.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in accounting required.
• 5–7 years of accounting experience with a strong CPG background and costing experience.
• Experience with standard costing systems in a manufacturing environment.
• Experience implementing or significantly improving costing methodologies (including standard costing).
• Strong understanding of inventory accounting in a perishable environment, including yield, shrink, and spoilage.
• Ability to operate effectively in a company transitioning from less structured to more scalable processes.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, build-as-you-go environment.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to connect financial results to operational drivers.

• Advanced Excel skills.
• Operates with the highest level of integrity and is widely trusted.
