ROLE PURPOSE

Own complex accounting areas independently across a portfolio of US-based consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, contributing directly to the quality and timeliness of the month-end close. The Senior Associate, Accounting — CPG is a key execution partner to Graphite’s Client Leads and Team Leads, operating with autonomy, sound accounting judgment, and a deep understanding of how CPG businesses are structured and how their books work.

This is a remote role based in India, supporting US-based clients and working closely with a US-based engagement team. You will be expected to operate with a high degree of professionalism, communicate clearly across time zones, and hold yourself to the same standards as any Graphite team member — regardless of geography. CPG accounting experience is essential. Candidates without it will not be considered.

WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED HERE
This is a remote, client-adjacent role within a US-facing qualified services firm.



You will work alongside US-based Client Leads and Team Leads to serve clients who expect Graphite-quality accounting — accurate, timely, and professionally delivered. The following qualities define what high performance looks like in this role.
• CPG Accounting Fluency: You understand the mechanics of CPG accounting at a practitioner level — trade spend, COGS structure, inventory valuation, landed cost, deductions. You do not need these concepts explained to you; you need to apply them every day.
• US GAAP Proficiency: You work to US GAAP standards, not just in principle but in practice. Journal entries, reconciliations, and close procedures all reflect a command of US accounting standards and how they apply to CPG businesses.
• Independent Ownership: You manage your assigned accounting areas from start to finish without requiring daily direction. You know what needs to get done, you do it accurately, and you flag problems before they become someone else’s surprise.
• Professional Written Communication:
