WHO WE ARE

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a hands-on finance and accounting leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable closing the books and sitting across from the CEO to talk strategy. You will own the full finance and accounting function — building the infrastructure, owning the reporting, and becoming a genuine business partner to the leadership team.

You will be a two-person team in 2026 — you and a Staff Accountant. The job requires both operational precision and strategic thinking. If you want to own something real and grow with a business — read on.

WHAT YOU OWN

Accounting & Controls

• Own the full month-end close — target close by day 15 each month, every month
• Manage day-to-day accounting operations — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, AP/AR, and general ledger
• Replace the current contract Controller and operate as the hands-on accounting leader; work as a two-person team with our Staff Accountant through 2026
• Establish and maintain internal controls across all ten locations — cash handling, consignor payouts, daily reconciliations
• Ensure GAAP compliance and the integrity of all financial statements
• Manage banking relationships, daily cash management, and bank reconciliations
• Build and maintain a 13-week cash forecast — proactively managing liquidity
• Own store-level P&L reporting — every location has a clear, accurate financial picture each month
• Own the annual audit process — managing the relationship with our auditors (currently CBIZ), preparing all required materials, and delivering a clean audit on time
• Own annual tax compliance — coordinating with CBIZ on federal, state, and local filings across all jurisdictions; deadlines do not move
• Own the commercial insurance broker relationship across all locations
• Spend regular time in the stores — understand how the business operates on the floor, not just on paper
• Oversee payroll processing and reporting in partnership with HR; partner with HR on labor-related financial matters

Reporting & Financial Planning — Starts Day One

These responsibilities begin immediately — they do not wait for the accounting foundation to be complete.

• Own the annual budgeting process end-to-end — bottoms-up, partnering with executives and store managers; 2027 budget delivered before December 25th
• Develop and distribute monthly and quarterly financial reporting to all leaders — store managers and executives receive consistent, accurate financials and understand what they mean
• Prepare board-ready financial packages — including variance analysis, KPIs, and narrative commentary that tells the story behind the numbers
• Manage all lender communication and quarterly covenant reporting — ensuring the company remains in full compliance with its credit agreements

Financial Infrastructure — Build When the Foundation Is Ready

Once the accounting foundation is stable and reporting is running consistently, you will build the forward-looking financial infrastructure the business needs to scale.

• Define core financial and operating metrics — what does a great-performing store look like
• Build store-level reporting dashboards that give leaders data to make real-time decisions
• Build toward a fully integrated 3-statement financial model (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) — a Year 2 priority
• Support new store financial modeling and lease evaluation as the company grows

Systems & Technology

• Support the Shopify migration and new POS implementation — ensuring financial data integrity from day one
• Evaluate and plan the migration from QuickBooks to an enterprise ERP — implementation targeted for 2027
• Implement financial automation to reduce manual processes and improve close accuracy

Team

• Lead a lean two-person team in 2026 — build the structure and processes that support adding a Financial Analyst in 2027
• Own the vision for what the finance team needs to look like as the company grows

YOUR FIRST 12–18 MONTHS

Here is what success looks like — and what sets the stage for growing your scope and compensation:

• Accounting is clean and running independently. Close on time every month. Every accounting operation belongs to you, not the CEO. Controls consistent across all locations.
• Store-level P&L is live. Every location has a financial scorecard. Leaders make decisions grounded in data.
• Manual processes are gone. AP, bank reconciliations, sales tax filings, and other high-frequency tasks are automated or systematized — you identify the biggest time drains in the first 90 days and eliminate them. The goal is a finance function that runs on process, not heroics.
• Cash forecast in place. 13-week rolling forecast live and reviewed regularly with the CEO.
• 2027 budget delivered before Christmas. A bottoms-up budget built with every exec and store manager — completed and presented before December 25th. This is a hard deadline. The process should be meaningfully improved from the 2026 experience.
• ERP selected. QuickBooks replacement evaluated, selected, and implementation planned for 2027.
• Foundation set for forecasting. Accounting infrastructure solid enough to begin building toward a 3-statement model in Year 2.

• OUR VALUES — HOW WE WORK

  These are not aspirational statements. They are the standards we hire to, manage to, and hold each other to.

   

  Kind & Courageous  Honest conversations early. Clear feedback with the intent to help. Holding ourselves and others to agreed standards — with humanity.

   

  Clarity & Consistency  Same standards, same answers — every time. Fewer exceptions. Work designed to be repeatable and scalable.

   

  Curious Problem Solvers  We learn our way forward. We treat mistakes as data, look for root causes, and share learnings openly.

   

  Stewards, Not Owners  We handle what is entrusted to us — consignors' goods, company resources, people's trust — with care and long-term thinking. That includes the financial health of the business: protecting margin, questioning cost, and ensuring every dollar of growth is worth the investment.

   

  WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US

• A CEO who is direct, communicative, and fully invested in your success
• A seat at the leadership table from day one — your work matters here
• A company that is honest about where we are and clear about where we are going
• A CEO with deep CFO experience — a genuine partner on the financial work, not a bystander
• A compensation package and scope that grows as you demonstrate capability and independence

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: $150,000-165,000, Scottsdale, AZ - in office with flexibiltiy
• Annual Bonuses up to 20%  tied to company and individual performance 
• Total Year 1 Cash, up to ~$198,000, At Maximum bonus. 

Simple. Scalable. On Purpose.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Experience

• 8–12 years of progressive finance and accounting experience — hands-on background in both accounting operations and financial planning required
• You have done the close, owned the books, and managed a small team — and you are not above doing it again in a lean, high-growth environment
• Multi-unit retail, hospitality, consumer brand, or PE-backed services experience preferred
• Experience building financial reporting and infrastructure in a growing or entrepreneurial environment
• Experience managing annual audit and tax compliance processes
• ERP implementation experience a strong plus — QuickBooks migration planned for 2027
• CPA preferred

Skills & Capabilities

• You close the books and present the results — and you are equally good at both
• You translate financial data into clear, actionable insights for non-finance leaders
• You create structure where none exists and are comfortable with ambiguity
• You sweat the details and know when to zoom out
• You are present in the business — store visits are part of this role
• You are a natural partner to operations and people leaders — your job is to help them make better decisions, not to be the person who says no
