We move a lot of high-value inventory across a lot of channels, and we're scaling fast. We need a Controller to bring real financial discipline to a business that has outgrown spreadsheets. The Role This is the senior finance hire for Monmouth Cards. Reporting to the CEO, you'll own the entire accounting and finance function — the books, the close, the cash, and the numbers leadership decides on. It's a hands-on, build-it role for someone who likes turning a fast, messy operation into something clean and scalable. What You'll Own Month-end close and reporting across multiple entities, including consolidations. Inventory accounting and valuation — our hardest, most important number (high velocity, fluctuating values, consignment, grading float). Multi-channel revenue reconciliation across POS, Shopify, live selling, marketplaces, and vending. Gross margin analysis by store, channel, and category. Cash management and treasury (Mercury, Ramp); AP, AR, and payroll. Multi-state sales tax and nexus (NJ, CT, MA, and growing). Budgeting, forecasting, and FP&A — the models the business runs on. NetSuite as the financial system of record — lead its rollout and Shopify POS integration, and build scalable processes and controls. Investor and strategic support for financing, M&A, and other initiatives. What You Bring 5–8 years in accounting/finance, including time as a Controller or Assistant Controller (or a strong Accounting Manager ready to step up). Inventory-heavy retail or e-commerce experience — COGS, inventory valuation, channel reconciliation. Multi-entity accounting and consolidation experience. NetSuite (or a comparable ERP, with the ability to ramp on NetSuite) and advanced Excel. Multi-state sales tax familiarity and a systems-and-automation mindset. Comfort as a self-directed owner in a fast-moving, founder-led environment. CPA preferred (not required for the right candidate). Bonus: trading cards/collectibles, NetSuite implementation, Shopify POS, or M&A/diligence experience. Compensation & Benefits Base: $120,000–$150,000, depending on experience, plus a performance bonus tied to close discipline, margin, and cash/inventory targets. On-site at our NJ headquarters, working directly with the CEO and operations team. Health benefits, paid time off, and meaningful upside as we scale. Monmouth Cards is an equal opportunity employer.
