This is a high-impact leadership role for a finance professional ready to shape and scale the financial backbone of a fast-growing, consumer-focused digital business. You will act as the first in-house finance leader, responsible for building structure, rigor, and strategic clarity across all financial operations. Beyond managing reporting and compliance, you will evolve the function into a proactive strategic partner that informs decision-making at the highest level.

The role combines hands-on financial management with long-term planning, requiring both operational precision and strategic thinking.

Your work will directly support scaling the business sustainably while ensuring financial transparency and control.

• Lead financial modeling, forecasting, and strategic planning, including growth projections, scenario modeling, headcount planning, and cash flow management.
• Own budgeting processes and ensure leadership has clear visibility into financial tradeoffs, risks, and performance drivers.
• Maintain investor-ready financial models, reporting structures, and board materials to support fundraising and strategic discussions.
• Oversee inventory accounting, cost controls, and reconciliation processes across revenue, expenses, cash flow, and COGS.
• Strengthen financial visibility into profitability, margins, and unit economics while ensuring accurate and timely reporting.
• Establish robust financial controls, audit-ready processes, and reliable month-end close procedures in compliance with accounting standards.
• Partner cross-functionally with department leaders to align budgets, monitor spend, and improve financial decision-making.
• Develop contingency and scenario planning frameworks (“Plan B / Plan C”) to support business resilience in changing market conditions.
• Serve as the organization’s financial “source of truth,” consolidating and standardizing financial data and reporting systems.

• 5–10+ years of experience in finance, FP&A, accounting, or operational finance roles, ideally in high-growth or startup environments.
• Strong expertise in financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and strategic financial planning.
• Proven experience managing inventory-heavy or product-based financial operations.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and experience with ERP/accounting systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Sage.
• Strong accounting foundation, with CPA or equivalent professional certification preferred.
• Ability to balance strategic advisory responsibilities with hands-on financial execution.
• Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to improve processes, not just outputs.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to challenge assumptions and influence executive decisions constructively.
• Experience in e-commerce, collectibles, or other inventory-driven industries is a plus.

• Fully remote, full-time leadership role with high autonomy.
• Opportunity to build and define the finance function from the ground up.
• Direct exposure to executive leadership and strategic decision-making.
• High-impact role influencing company growth, profitability, and long-term financial health.
