Hi, I’m Natalie Dusome, Founder and CEO of Poppy & Peonies—a lively, energetic brand built on the idea that style and function should work hand in hand. We’re dedicated to creating practical, beautifully designed pieces that make everyday life easier.

Poppy & Peonies began as a personal journey. When my daughter Poppy was born, my old accessories no longer fit my new lifestyle. I needed stylish, functional bags with organization and pockets. When I couldn’t find what I needed, I created it—and in 2015, Poppy & Peonies came to life.

A lot has changed since then. We’ve grown from shipping orders out of my basement to appearing on Dragons’ Den, expanding into new product categories, and collaborating with exciting influencers and brands. It hasn’t always been easy, but our amazing community has kept us feeling supported every step of the way.

We’re deeply committed to sustainability and animal welfare. All of our products are made from high-quality vegan leather and are fully vegan, cruelty-free, and PETA-approved. We ship plastic-free and use recycled, compostable, and biodegradable materials. We continue to look for ways to improve our product and supply chain sustainability to reduce our environmental impact.

About the Role

As our Accounts Payable Specialist, you play a key role in keeping operations running smoothly at Poppy & Peonies. Reporting to the Accountant, you’ll manage the full accounts payable cycle—ensuring vendor payments are accurate and timely, expenses are properly coded, and our financial records stay reliable. Your accuracy and organization support the financial stability that helps our business grow.

You thrive on details, enjoy well-structured processes, and take pride in precision. You’ll work closely with teams across the company and help maintain strong relationships with vendors.

Does this sound like you?
