• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close and deliver accurate, timely financial reporting.
• Maintain the integrity of the general ledger, chart of accounts, intercompany activity, and supporting accounting records.
• Improve close speed and reliability by standardizing work, resolving bottlenecks, and establishing effective review controls

Audit, Controls & Compliance

• Lead the annual external financial-statement audit and maintain year-round audit readiness
• Design, document, and monitor practical internal accounting controls across key financial processes
• Own accounting policies and significant technical conclusions under U.S. GAAP
• Identify and escalate material accounting, reporting, control, or compliance risk

Accounting Operations & Improvement

• Provide oversight across cash, receivables, payables, inventory accounting, fixed assets, and other controllership activities
• Clarify process ownership and eliminate unnecessary duplication, manual rework, and single-person dependencies
• Lead practical system and workflow improvements that increase accuracy, control, and efficiency

Team Leadership & Business Partnership

• Develop an accountable, service-oriented accounting team through clear expectations, coaching, cross-training, and succession planning.
• Partner with finance, operations, sales, supply chain, IT, HR, auditors, and advisors.
• Provide disciplined accounting insight to the CFO and senior leadership.
• Support business changes, acquisitions, supplier programs, and system implementations from an accounting and controls perspective

What We're Looking For:

Education & Experience

Required

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
• Progressive accounting leadership experience includes ownership of the monthly close, financial reporting, external audit, internal controls, and team leadership.
• Experience improving accounting processes, clarifying roles, and leading change in a multi-location, inventory-intensive, distribution, manufacturing, or consumer-products environment.
• Demonstrated command of U.S. GAAP and the ability to translate accounting requirements into practical business processes and controls

Preferred

• CPA license or active CPA credential
• Experience in beverage distribution, alcoholic-beverage distribution, Coca-Cola bottling or distribution, wholesale distribution, or a similarly regulated route-to-market business
• Experience with enterprise resource planning, warehouse or route-accounting systems, financial consolidations, and close-management or account-reconciliation tools
• Experience supporting acquisitions and financial systems implementations

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

• Strong technical accounting, financial reporting, audit, internal-control, and balance-sheet-management capability
• Ability to establish a disciplined close calendar, identify root causes, and improve speed without sacrificing accuracy or control
• Practical understanding of inventory accounting, supplier funding, customer deductions, rebates, deposits, fixed assets, cash, and other balance-sheet and transaction-accounting processes
• Advanced analytical and systems skills, including effective use of ERP data, Microsoft Excel, reporting tools, and workflow automation
• Clear executive communication and the ability to explain accounting matters to non-accounting leaders

Why Join Odom?

• Lead a critical enterprise function with meaningful access to senior leadership
• Shape accounting processes, systems, controls, and team capabilities
• Help modernize and scale a complex, multi-location business
• Gain exposure to a broad range of operating and financial matters
• Join a stable, family-owned company with a long history of success
