About Green Medicine NJ LLC

Green Medicine NJ LLC is a growing cannabis cultivator and manufacturer. We're in an exciting stage of growth, and we're looking for a hands-on finance professional to continue building the financial infrastructure to support what's next.

About the Role

We're looking for a Part-Time Controller to own our accounting operations and financial reporting on a flexible, part-time basis (~15–20 hrs/week, negotiable, with flexibility on schedule). This is a great opportunity for an experienced Controller, or a Senior Accountant or Accounting Manager ready to step up to the next level, who wants real ownership without a full-time commitment. Cannabis industry experience is helpful but not required.

Own the monthly financial close, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and other month-end adjustments.
Maintain the general ledger and prepare balance sheet account reconciliations, investigating and resolving discrepancies.
Prepare the monthly sales reconciliation among Metrc (weight shipped), Apex (sales system), and QuickBooks Online (QBO), the financial system of record; file monthly municipal and state sales tax returns.
Review and fund payroll, and oversee payroll posting into the accounting system.
Serve as backup for accounts payable and accounts receivable, including collections and cash flow tracking, and guide administrative staff on day-to-day accounting questions.
Support manufacturing and inventory accounting, including raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, cost of goods sold, and standard cost/production costing.
Analyze inventory and manufacturing variances, partnering with operations to understand and resolve discrepancies.
Maintain fixed asset records and depreciation schedules, and identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and controls.
Present monthly financial results versus budget (BvA) and trend analysis to leadership, and participate in recurring leadership meetings.
Support insurance audits, tax requests, and other external reporting requirements.
Lead the annual budgeting process, prepare the year-end tax package for the external accounting firm, and support other year-end compliance tasks (e.g., 1099 oversight, insurance renewals, workers' comp audits).
Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Sales, and other departments to resolve accounting and financial issues.

What You Bring

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
5+ years of accounting experience, ideally within manufacturing, distribution, or another inventory-intensive environment.
Proficiency with QuickBooks Online (QBO) or a similar accounting platform; comfortable working across multiple systems and reconciling data between them.
Strong understanding of GAAP, general ledger accounting, and inventory/cost accounting principles.
Hands-on experience with month-end close and account reconciliations.
Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, and financial analysis.
Excellent attention to detail with strong analytical and organizational skills.
