About this role
About California Design Den
California Design Den (CDD) is a US-based premium home & lifestyle brand selling high-quality home textiles to customers in the US through major e-commerce platforms and our brand website. One of the fastest-growing home textile brands in the US, we reach millions of customers, and our growth is powered by sharp merchandising, disciplined planning, and data-led decisioning. We move fast, we care about craft, and we give our people real ownership.
The Role
We're hiring a Manager – Bookkeeping, Accounting & Reporting to build and lead our in-house bookkeeping function from the ground up. You'll take full ownership of day-to-day bookkeeping, transactional accounting, and e-commerce reconciliation — currently run through an external provider — and transition it in-house under a dedicated team you hire and manage. You'll report directly to the CFO.
This is a build-and-lead opportunity for someone who wants true ownership of a finance function, with a clear growth path as the team and company scale.
What You'll Own
- The monthly close process end-to-end — closed, reconciled books on a consistent schedule
- Tax-readiness of the books ahead of statutory and sales-tax filing cycles
- Inventory reconciliation across warehouse and 3PL partners
- AP/AR health and vendor payment cycles
- Claims and reimbursement recovery for damaged, missing, or incorrect shipments
- The output quality of a team you will hire, train, and manage
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end bookkeeping and transactional accounting for our US business — bill-pay, expense management, and monthly close
- Manage our accounting system (QuickBooks Enterprise) and e-commerce integration tools; keep records clean, accurate, and timely
- Reconcile transactions across major marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, and others) — payouts, fees, refunds, and chargebacks
- Build and lead an in-house bookkeeping team — recruit, onboard, and manage 2–3 members within the first year
- Lead the transition of US & Canada sales-tax filing from an external agency to an internally managed, CPA-reviewed process
- Oversee AP/AR, vendor reconciliation, and claims/reimbursement processes
- Deliver accurate monthly MIS and reporting inputs to the CFO
- Establish and maintain strong internal financial controls and SOPs
- Coordinate with US-based teams and external CPAs/tax advisors across time zones
What We're Looking For
- 6–10 years of bookkeeping/accounting experience, including 2–3 years managing a team
- CA / CA Inter / CMA
- Proven experience owning a bookkeeping function end-to-end — not just executing assigned tasks
- Hands-on experience with QuickBooks (Enterprise a plus)
- Experience with e-commerce/marketplace accounting (Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, or similar)
- Comfortable working across India–US time zones
Good to Have
- US multi-state sales-tax filing experience
- Familiarity with e-commerce accounting integrations
- A track record of building or scaling a small accounting team
What We Offer
- A true ownership role — build and lead a function from the ground up, not just staff it
- Direct visibility and reporting line to the CFO
- A fast-paced, global e-commerce environment with real financial impact
- A clear growth path in title and compensation as the team and function scale
