• Collaborate with company leadership on budgets, quarterly planning, and long-term strategic initiatives.
• Deliver KPIs that reflect operational performance and margin trends.
• Process Improvement & Controls
• Identify and implement process improvements across accounting systems, POS integrations, and reporting workflows.
• Assist in developing internal controls and documenting financial procedures specific to retail environments.
• Streamline inventory management practices, multi-location stock, and seasonal adjustments.

Who You Are

• A proactive, hands-on Controller who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic, small business environment.
• A strong communicator who can translate complex financial concepts to non-financial audiences.
• A self-starter who is comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities, and rolling up your sleeves when needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA preferred)
• 5+ years of experience in a Controller or Senior Accounting role
• Proven experience in retail accounting, preferably with multi-location operations
• Background in small to medium-sized businesses; fractional or outsourced accounting experience a plus

• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online, POS systems, and Excel
• Working knowledge of US GAAP

Tools You’ll Use

• QuickBooks Online & POS systems
• NetSuite ERP
