Founded by Kurt Seidensticker (founder of Vital Proteins, acquired by Nestlé), we are building the most meaningful beverage and the next category-defining CPG brand with a mission tied to GivePower's clean water initiative.

The Opportunity This is a ground-floor role to build the accounting function at LOVE. You will own day-to-day accounting operations, establish controls and processes, and partner directly with the CEO on financial reporting.

You own mistakes, fix them, and move forward without drama., • Speed and ownership. Kurt works fast and expects the same.

You stay steady and deliver., • No ego about rolling up sleeves. You'll build controls, but you'll also reconcile a bank statement yourself when needed. As the team grows, you'll lead — but the foundation is built by doing., • AI-forward mindset. You see AI as leverage, not a threat. You actively test new tools, automate repetitive work, and build workflows that scale without adding headcount. What Will Make You Stand Out • Direct experience with trade spend deductions, Amazon Seller Central reconciliations, or distributor (UNFI/KeHE/Pod Foods) accounting, • Experience building channel-level and SKU-level gross margin reporting, • Deep NetSuite administration, customization, and saved search expertise, • A portfolio of processes you've built and improved at prior companies What You'll Get • Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience), • Full benefits, 401(k) match, • Participation in the LOVE Community Incentive Plan (quarterly revenue-linked bonus pool), • Equity consideration at appropriate level and time, • A front-row seat to building a category-defining CPG brand, • Direct access to a repeat CPG founder and a clear runway to grow into senior finance leadership as the company scales How to Apply Apply through LinkedIn.
