Job description

Our client is a fast-growing, approximately $200M consumer products and ecommerce company with a lean, entrepreneurial team and significant sales across DTC, Amazon and major retail channels.

Despite its scale, the company still operates with the speed and ownership of a much earlier-stage business. As it continues to grow, it is investing in building a more scalable finance organization, stronger reporting processes and improved financial systems.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a hands‑on finance function manager to join a growing finance team and help build the infrastructure needed to support the next stage of the business.

Reporting directly to the VP of Operations, this person will own key accounting and reporting processes, help organize and optimize the company's current QuickBooks environment, and improve the systems, controls, and processes supporting a complex e-commerce and retail business.

You have one direct report, but this is very much a hands‑on role.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys stepping into a high-growth environment where the business has scaled faster than its finance infrastructure — and where there is real opportunity to improve how things are done.

What You'll Own

• Own the full accounting cycle, including month-end close, reconciliations and financial reporting.
• Prepare accurate monthly financial statements, including P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reporting.
• Improve and organize the company's current QuickBooks Online environment.
• Help streamline and accelerate the month-end close process.
• Manage and develop one direct report.
• Own and improve inventory accounting, landed costs, COGS and margin reporting.
• Reconcile activity across ecommerce, marketplace and retail channels.
• Build more scalable accounting processes, controls and documentation.
• Partner closely with the Controller on reporting, cash flow and business performance.
• Help evaluate and implement future ERP and financial systems improvements.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual accounting and reporting processes.

What We’re Looking For

• Approximately 7–10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience and at least one year of team leadership in DTC / e-commerce finance function.
• CPA strongly preferred / required.
• Experience within ecommerce, DTC, consumer products or retail.
• Strong understanding of inventory accounting, COGS and landed costs.
• Experience owning the full accounting cycle and producing financial statements.
• Strong hands‑on experience with QuickBooks Online.

Why Join

This is an opportunity to join a business that has already achieved significant scale but still offers the ownership and impact of a much smaller company.

You will have the chance to work closely with senior leadership, improve the finance function, and help build the systems and processes required to support continued growth.

Base Salary: $120,000–$170,000 USD

depending on experience.
