## Job description

Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food. We build smart systems and infrastructure for homes, businesses, and municipalities that transform food scraps from landfill-bound waste into valuable resources, including chicken feed. Tens of thousands of Mill’s residential food recyclers are already helping households divert millions of pounds of food scraps every year, paving the way for our upcoming launch of Mill Commercial—the industry’s first end-to-end solution for managing, understanding, and preventing food waste in commercial environments (e.g. grocery, restaurants, food services). At Mill, we are passionate about building easy-to-use, beautifully designed technologies that keep food in the food system and out of landfills.

Mill is all about answering a simple question: how can we prevent waste? Less waste can save time, money, energy, maybe even our planet. And there’s no better place to start than food. Food waste is one of the most solvable climate problems facing us today. Plus, our trash really stinks. It’s gross, heavy, and our least favorite chore. At Mill we are striving to build a better environment for all, as we take on climate and kitchen change.

As the Inventory Accountant you’ll…

- Be the first Inventory Accountant hired to the team, and help establish foundational internal processes.
- Complete operational accounting and reporting, including detailed analysis, reconciliation, and reporting of accounts.
- Own the accounting and reconciliation of inventory movements, including receipts, production consumption, transfers, returns, scrap, inventory adjustments, and cycle count variances.
- Partner directly with Contract Manufacturers and suppliers to investigate inventory discrepancies, validate transactions, and ensure alignment between physical inventory and ERP records.
- Review and support landed cost accounting.
- Track and reconcile inventory balances by part / SKU on a monthly basis.
- Support inventory accuracy and reporting initiatives through regular reconciliation of raw materials, components, subassemblies, work-in-process (WIP), and finished goods.
- Collaborate with the Controller and Operations teams to improve efficiency of internal processes.
- Establish monthly unit economics analysis, including P&L impact of different components of unit economics.
- Assist with forecasting of unit economics changes, translating these changes to financial impact.
- Working with the Controller and Operations, enhancement or creation of internal controls around manufacturing, fulfillment, and deployment.
- Assist with financial statement audits.
- Performs other related duties as necessary or assigned.

Ideally you’ll have…

- Bachelor’s degree, preferably in finance or accounting, or related majors including business.
- 4+ years of accounting experience in a manufacturing environment, inventory control, and previous experience with month-end close.
- Highly proficient in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, lookups, etc.)
- Hands-on experience managing physical inventory transactions involving raw materials, purchased components, subassemblies, work-in-process (WIP), and finished goods.
- Professional working level English (B2 or higher.)
- Experience working with Contract Manufacturers is strongly preferred.
- ERP experience required (NetSuite preferred). Strong knowledge of manufacturing inventory transactions is more important than experience with a specific ERP platform.
- Experience reconciling inventory records between internal ERP systems and third-party manufacturers.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing inventory flows, material movements, and inventory valuation.
- Experience supporting inventory counts, cycle counts, and inventory reconciliation activities.
- High level of attention to detail and experience in financial accounting and financial reporting.
- Experience working in a high-growth, dynamic environment.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- A continuous improvement mindset with the ability to identify and implement process improvements.

- Mission: To eliminate waste for good, starting with the food that ends up in landfills. The goal is to turn kitchen scraps into food for chickens, keeping food in the food system and out of landfills.

## Products & Services
- **Mill Food Recycler (Home)**: An odorless, effortless food recycling bin for the home. It uses intelligent tech to dehydrate and reduce food volume by 80% overnight. Users do not need to press a button; the device senses how much is added. The resulting grounds are shipped to Mill's small-farm partners for use as chicken feed. Type: Consumer Hardware + Service (subscription).
- **Mill Commercial**: A new solution for grocery stores and food service businesses to manage food waste at scale, leveraging the same core technology. Type: B2B Hardware + Service.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Hardware + Software Moat**: The combination of a custom hardware appliance, embedded firmware, and a computer vision AI engine creates a difficult-to-replicate system.
- **Network Effect**: The more users Mill has, the more food waste is diverted, strengthening their supply chain of grounds for chicken feed and their partnerships with farms.
- **Brand & Design**: A strong focus on industrial design and user experience (odorless, effortless, beautiful) differentiates it from compost pails and garbage disposals.
- **Climate Impact**: Directly addresses methane emissions from landfills (methane is 80x more potent than CO2), giving it a strong mission-driven narrative.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Home Business**: Expanding the subscriber base for the home food recycler.
