We are a fast-growing multi-channel e-commerce company seeking a hands-on Accounting Controller to own our financial operations end to end. This is not a traditional controller role: you'll live in the day-to-day mechanics of marketplace settlements, high-SKU inventory accounting, and the integration between SellerCloud and QuickBooks that keeps our books accurate. The ideal candidate understands the unique accounting challenges of selling across Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Shopify, and other channels, and can translate that operational complexity into clean financials.
You'll be the person leadership trusts to answer "what's our real margin on this SKU?" and "did that Amazon settlement actually reconcile?"
