Financial Controller for DTC Company (US-Based, Remote)

Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that specializes in pairing remote work with top-tier talent. We admire the importance of innovative social media strategies and are committed to connecting talented individuals with great companies that need their unique skills. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Financial Controller to take ownership of core finance operations, cash management, payments, and financial controls.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable working independently in a lean, fast-moving environment and can maintain a clear, accurate view of the company's liquidity while ensuring payments, controls, and working capital are managed effectively.

What You'll Do

• Monitor daily cash flow and maintain a rolling cash flow forecast to provide an accurate view of liquidity.
• Own the full payment cycle, including supplier payments, contractor payments, and company cards, ensuring everything is processed accurately and on time.
• Develop and manage working capital strategies, including using available payment terms, sequencing outflows around inflows, and minimising idle cash.
• Oversee card and account security, including controls, spending limits, and proactively identifying and preventing unauthorised charges.
• Maintain strong internal financial controls and clear segregation of duties.
• Support and manage the company's banking relationships and working-capital facilities.
• Identify potential financial risks and take proactive action before they become issues.
• Work independently and take end-to-end ownership of finance operations.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a Financial Controller, Treasury, Senior Finance Operations, or similar role.
• Experience in high-volume e-commerce, DTC, consumer businesses, or a similarly fast-paced environment is highly preferred.
• Strong hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online (QBO).
• Excellent spreadsheet skills and confidence working with financial data.
• Genuine interest in and openness to AI-assisted finance workflows.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy when handling sensitive financial information.
• High level of discretion and integrity.
• Proactive, low-ego working style with the ability to take ownership without requiring extensive processes or supervision.
• Ability to work effectively in a lean and fast-moving environment.
  
  Who We're Looking For
• The ideal candidate is someone who doesn't simply report on the company's finances but actively owns and protects the financial operation.
• You should be comfortable making decisions around cash flow, payments, working capital, and financial controls while maintaining a high level of accuracy and discretion. If you enjoy building structure, spotting problems before they happen, and independently owning a critical area of the business, this role could be a strong fit.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Work with fast-scaling, premium brands
• Fully remote role with a dynamic, growth-driven team
• Clear opportunities for career growth and advancement
