Controller - NetSuite Implementation & Multi-Unit Retail

Monmouth Cards Remote (U.S.) Full-time

About Monmouth Cards

Monmouth Cards is one of the fastest-growing specialty retailers in the trading card and collectibles category. We operate eleven stores across New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Arizona, a rapidly scaling e-commerce business, live commerce, and a growing events and vending operation.

The Role

This is a hands‑on Controller role with an unusually clear mandate: own the NetSuite implementation and transition, then run a clean, timely close on it.

We are moving off QuickBooks. You will lead that migration end to end - chart of accounts design, data conversion, POS and e-commerce integrations, inventory and multi-location setup, and cutover. After go-live, you own the monthly close, the reporting package, and the financial infrastructure that supports both our store expansion and an eventual outside investment or transaction.

You will report to the COO/CFO and work directly with the CEO. This is a build role, not a maintenance role.

What You'll Do

NetSuite implementation

• Lead the QuickBooks-to-NetSuite migration, working with our implementation partner and internal team
• Design the chart of accounts, entity and location structure, and reporting segments for a multi-store, multi-channel retailer
• Own integrations: point of sale, Shopify, banking, payroll, and inventory
• Build inventory accounting that works for a business with high SKU velocity, trade‑ins, consignment and grading
• Manage data conversion, parallel testing, cutover and post‑go-live stabilization

Ongoing accounting and control (after go-live)

• Own the monthly close and deliver it on a predictable calendar
• Produce store-level P&Ls and channel-level reporting that operators actually use
• Own inventory accounting and reconciliation across stores, warehouse and e-commerce
• Manage cash, AP, AR, banking relationships and lender reporting
• Build the internal controls, documentation and audit trail a company our size needs
• Support diligence: prepare normalized financial statements and respond to investor and lender requests
• Partner with our outside CPA on tax and compliance

What We're Looking For

Required

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including a Controller or Assistant Controller role
• Deep, hands‑on NetSuite experience - you have implemented it or led a migration to it, not just used it
• Multi‑entity and multi‑location accounting experience
• Strong inventory accounting background in a retail, e‑commerce or distribution environment
• Demonstrated ability to own a monthly close independently and improve it
• Comfortable working in a company where processes are still being built

Strongly preferred

• CPA
• Experience in specialty retail, e‑commerce, or consumer products
• Experience preparing a company for diligence, a financing, or a transaction
• Familiarity with retail POS systems and Shopify

Not required

• Knowledge of trading cards or collectibles. We will teach you the category.

Why This Role Is Interesting

• You own the system. You are not inheriting someone else's NetSuite build. You are designing it for a business that will double.
• Real scope. Eleven stores today, 20-25 within two years, four channels, multi-state operations.
• Direct access. You work with the COO/CFO and CEO, not four layers down.
• You will see the results of your work. Every store P&Ls, every channel report, every close - you build the picture the company runs on.

Details

Location: Remote within the United States. Occasional travel to our New Jersey headquarters for close cycles, planning and the NetSuite cutover.

Monmouth Cards is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.

This is a remote position.
