Job description

We do not need an External Auditor who merely records history; Retail Solutions Group needs one who shapes the Long Beach, CA balance sheet ahead. What makes this Retail Solutions Group role different is the ownership; the $101,000 - $151,000 and freelance hours are just the entry fee.

Key Responsibilities

• Stand up the Public Speaking close calendar and hold every owner to it
• Carry the mid-level budget reforecast through three rounds of leadership review
• Watch DSO and DPO together, not as isolated numbers
• Build budget-vs-actual reviews managers across Long Beach look forward to
• Where most mid-level roles stop at reporting, this one digs into the why
• Identify cost-saving opportunities through detailed spend analysis

What You'll Bring

• Experience at the mid-level inside a freelance role
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• 5+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illustrations
• Real curiosity about why Retail Solutions Group customers do what they do
• Fluency across CIA Certification and Negotiation, with strong opinions on both

Retail Solutions Group is Long Beach, CA's answer to a finance industry grown lazy, run by a fast-moving team that still cares about ACA. We build an environment where underdog-spirited ideas get tested quickly and credit is shared fairly.
