Temporary Accounting Specialist, AR & General Accounting

ABOUT GOODR

We create and sell active eyewear for anyone. No Slip. No Bounce. All Polarized. All Fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.

OUR VALUES: We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.

• FUN = Being sh*tty isn’t fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, that’s fun!
• AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)

Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.

AUTONOMY: We practice autonomy, empowerment, and accountability so that every team member can be in control of their own life.

• HYBRID WORKING: This role is required to be in our Inglewood office every Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional third day thrown in. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you a numbers wizard who loves bringing order to financial chaos and isn't afraid to dive headfirst into the wonderful world of Accounts Receivable? Do you live for the thrill of a perfectly balanced reconciliation, a seamless month-end close, and making sure the money flows smoothly? If you answered with a resounding "HELL YES!", then you might be the Accounting Specialist we're looking for!

This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill, snooze-fest AR role. We're looking for someone with a rock-solid accounting foundation to take total ownership of our day-to-day AR operations while flexing their general ledger muscles across month-end close, journal entries, and reconciliations. You'll also join us at a super exciting time as we level up, automate, and modernize our accounting processes. If you're proactive, detail-obsessed, and ready to make a huge impact on our Money team, pull up a chair! 

**Note: This is a Full-Time TEMPORARY position from October 2026 through March 2027.
