Accounting Analyst – Venice Brands
Venezia
Veneto, Venezia

Company Background: Venice Brands is a privately held firm whose mission is to create and scale category leading brands that focus on health, wellness and sustainability. We engage at the concept phase and then, once we are aligned with our co-founders, typically take the lead in forming the legal structure, hiring the core team, engaging branding and product development agencies, and raising the seed capital (which is often provided in whole or in part by our sister investment firm). We play the role of the entrepreneur with each new company that we create, receiving one or more board seats and owning a substantial portion or all of the founder equity. We then spend considerable time helping our portfolio of companies grow and scale by providing hands-on strategic, operating and financial resources. We have an in-house shared services team that provides world class talent to our brands in select functions. We also have an extensive ecosystem that our brands can tap into on a regular basis. Our goal is to build each of our brands into a sizable, cash-flow generating business with strong customer loyalty and then have the option to strategically exit or to hold them forever.

Job Description: We are seeking an Accounting Analyst to join our Finance & Accounting team on a full-time basis. This is an ideal position for a recent (or "soon to be") college graduate who majored in accounting and/or finance. The position reports to the CFO and will assist with multiple high growth consumer brands. The ideal candidate should have a willingness to work hard to get the job done and maintain a positive attitude. This is an in-person role at our headquarters in Venice with some light travel required at times to our portfolio companies.
