Job Description

Description:

Kalan LP is looking for a hands-on Senior Staff Accountant to take ownership of accounts payable and tax compliance. In this role, you’ll run the full A/P cycle—everything from invoice processing and royalty/commission calculations to payment runs, reconciliations, and managing aged payables. You will also ensure all tax filings are accurate and on time.

Beyond A/P, you’ll lead balance sheet reconciliations, support the monthly close, and partner closely with the Financial Controller to improve processes, strengthen controls, and enhance reporting. This is a highly visible role for someone who brings sharp accounting judgment, strong attention to detail, and enjoys working across teams to keep financials clean and accurate.

Duties & Responsibilities include:

• Own the full accounts payable cycle—keeping invoices accurate, payments timely, and the ledger current
• Run royalties and commissions end-to-end: calculate, post, pay, and reconcile
• Manage aged A/P and Days Payable Outstanding (DPO), identifying cash flow and process improvements
• File, pay, and record all tax obligations accurately and on time
• Calculate and reconcile monthly accruals
• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts monthly
• Lead balance sheet reconciliations, investigating and resolving variances
• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes

Kalan is a third-generation, family-owned consumer products company that’s been bringing fun, trend-forward products to market for over 50 years. Based just outside Philadelphia in Lansdowne, PA, our mission is simple: Making People Smile.

We believe work should be enjoyable, too. We offer a relaxed, come-as-you-are culture, flexible hybrid schedules (3 days in office), summer Fridays, and leadership that genuinely listens. Plus, our employee fun committee makes sure we’re enjoying the ride along the way.

Join a team where your work matters—and where you’ll actually enjoy doing it.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; CPA or progress toward CPA strongly preferred
• 5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with demonstrated ownership of A/P or full-cycle accounting processes
• Strong understanding of US GAAP, financial reporting principles, and internal controls
• Advanced Excel skills required. Experience with ERP/Accounting systems required, with a strong preference for Microsoft Dynamics Business Central and Power BI reporting
