  • 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
