At Vessel, we are committed to addressing one of the world’s most pressing challenges—the global housing crisis. In 2024, we introduced the V1, a revolutionary solution that redefines affordable living. Beautifully designed, brilliantly engineered, sustainable, and built with health in mind, the V1 makes high-quality housing accessible to those who earn too much for subsidized housing but too little for market-rate options. We are backed by leading venture capitalists, such as Mosaic Ventures, and by the nation's preeminent homebuilder, Lennar, Inc. 


Vessel is growing rapidly, with scores of projects in planning, and we’re looking for an Assistant Controller to join our accounting team. In this role, you will lead key financial processes and ensure accurate, timely reporting related to inventory, cost accounting, and plant operations. 

What You'll Do

  • Oversee all manufacturing-related accounting, including inventory, standard costs, and COGS 
  • Manage month-end and year-end close activities specific to production and inventory 
  • Analyze manufacturing variances and partner with operations to investigate root causes and improve margin performance 
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and company policies 
  • Maintain and update standard costs; perform cost rollups and BOM analysis 
  • Prepare and present reports on manufacturing financial performance and KPIs 
  • Support audits by providing documentation and explanations related to manufacturing accounting 
  • Collaborate with Supply Chain and Ops to improve data flow, accuracy, and systems integration 
  • Assist in NetSuite implementation and system enhancements related to manufacturing modules 

Who You Are

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA preferred 
  • 10+ years of accounting experience, with at least 5 in a manufacturing or product-based environment 
  • Deep knowledge of cost accounting, inventory valuation, and variance analysis 
  • Strong Excel skills and experience with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, etc.) 
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and explain financial concepts to non-finance teams 
  • Detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to manage multiple deadlines 
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment 

Benefits

  • Bonus Eligible
  • Health Plans (Medical, Dental, and Vision), including HSA/FSA options
  • Life, AD&D, and Disability Insurance, plus Critical Illness and Accident Insurance
  • Adoption Assistance, Caregiver Support, and Financial Assistance through Employee Support Programs
  • Team-building events and activities, including social hours and celebrations
  • Commuter Benefits 

At Vessel, you’ll be part of something bigger than a company—you’ll be part of a movement. If you’re looking for a role that’s both challenging and rewarding, with the opportunity to work alongside a visionary leader in a transformative industry, we’d love to hear from you.
