About VersaDesk

At VersaDesk, we’re not just building ergonomic furniture—we’re building the future of work. With 20+ years of industry leadership and a legacy of innovation (including our patented sit-to-stand desktop converter), we’ve redefined the workspace experience. Now, we’re entering an exciting new era of tech-driven expansion—and we’re looking for a Fractional Controller who’s ready to take ownership of our financial strategy and help us scale smart.

About the Role

This isn’t a plug-and-play accounting job. We’re seeking a hands-on financial leader who thrives in fast-moving environments, takes full ownership of outcomes, and drives operational efficiency with precision and creativity. You’ll work side-by-side with our CEO as a strategic partner, leading all things finance—from cash flow and compliance to marketing spend and vendor relationships.

If you’ve turned businesses around, weathered financial storms, and led teams through high-growth phases, this is your moment.

Key Responsibilities

Own the Financial Engine

  • Lead all core finance functions: budgeting, forecasting, reporting, AP/AR, and cash flow.
  • Maintain financial stability while identifying opportunities for sustainable growth.
  • Take full responsibility for accurate, timely, and transparent reporting.

Champion Marketing ROI

  • Collaborate with the CEO to build and monitor marketing and e-commerce budgets.
  • Analyze spend efficiency, improve allocation, and support revenue-driving initiatives.

Navigate Cash & Complexity

  • Lead the company through tight cash flow scenarios with confidence and ingenuity.
  • Introduce creative financing solutions (asset-based lending, partnerships, etc.) to unlock liquidity.

Strengthen Vendor Partnerships

  • Negotiate smart terms, build trust with key vendors, and keep the supply chain moving without sacrificing cash health.

Level Up the Team

  • Manage and mentor a small finance team, instilling accountability and a high-performance mindset.
  • Scale systems and processes to match the pace of growth.

Stay Ahead of Compliance

  • Own tax planning and compliance with a sharp eye for savings and zero tolerance for surprises.
  • Maintain clean books and bulletproof audit readiness.

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years in finance/accounting roles, with 5+ years in a leadership capacity.
  • Deep understanding of financial operations in e-commerce, DTC, or high-growth companies.
  • Track record of successfully navigating challenging cash scenarios.
  • Expertise in vendor negotiation, budgeting, and marketing finance.
  • Proficiency in financial software (QuickBooks a plus) and ERP systems.
  • CPA or MBA preferred.
  • A proactive mindset: you don’t wait for instructions—you see what needs doing and make it happen.
