About Monmouth Cards
Monmouth Cards is one of the fastest-growing sports and trading card retailers in the country — 10+ stores across NJ, CT, and MA, a high-volume e-commerce business, live selling (Whatnot, eBay Live, TikTok), marketplaces (eBay, TCGplayer, COMC), and a growing fleet of vending machines and stadium kiosks. 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.
