Summary Generated by Built In

Loot Labs is on a mission to make collecting fun. We believe that every collectible tells a story: of passion, nostalgia, and discovery.
Through our flagship product, Boxed.gg we are reimagining how the world collects by blending digital entertainment with tangible rewards, delivering nostalgia and discovery straight to the fans' doorsteps.
We are...

  • Community First: We've served 500k collectors and foster an active community of over 125k+ Discord members.

  • Ambitiously Led: Led by veterans from Microsoft, Twitch, 2K, and Boeing.

  • Remote-First: We value high autonomy, low ego, and trust our team to build from anywhere in the world.

Since our inception in 2023, we’ve seen significant year-over-year growth. And now we're gearing up for our most ambitious year yet, with major expansions planned across product offerings, strategic partnerships, and next-generation collector experiences. If you’re ready to build products that spark joy at a global scale, you’re in the right place.

Role Summary

We’re hiring our first in-house finance leader to take ownership of our financial ecosystem. As the company grows, we’re looking for a forward-looking, hands-on leader to strengthen financial operations, improve forecasting accuracy, and build the systems and processes needed for long-term scale.

You will move us from reactive accounting to proactive financial strategy, serving as the source of truth for our financial data. From inventory and margins to cash runway and forecasting, you’ll ensure the business operates on accurate, reliable information.

Just as important as the systems is the seat at the table. We are looking for a genuine thought partner to leadership who can own their domain, engaging thoughtfully, challenging assumptions, naming uncomfortable tradeoffs, and grounding ambitious goals in financial reality.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building finance infrastructure inside a high-growth environment and is excited by the opportunity to shape the function from the ground up. You’ll work directly with the CEO and leadership team to navigate a rapidly evolving industry and tackle a unique mix of accounting, operational finance, FP&A, and process improvement.

Key Responsibilities
  • Financial Modeling & Strategy:

    • Build and maintain complex financial models to forecast growth, hiring needs, and "what-if" scenarios.

    • Support annual planning, budgeting, and headcount forecasting.

    • Develop cash flow forecasting and contingency planning models.

    • Help leadership understand financial tradeoffs, risks, and growth assumptions.

    • Maintain investor-grade financial materials (models, cap table, reporting) so the business stays board- and diligence-ready at all times.

  • Inventory & Cost Control:

    • Own the reconciliation process between operations and accounting; ensure timely, accurate reconciliation across inventory, revenue, expenses, and cash flow.

    • Ensure inventory movements, COGS, and margin reporting are accurate and transparent

    • Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and process risks before they become larger issues.

    • Improve visibility into company profitability, margins, and unit economics.

    • Establish and maintain financial controls and audit-ready processes.

  • Cross-Functional Partnership

    • Act as a financial partner to department leaders across the business; help teams understand budgets, spend, and performance against goals

    • Bring structure and accountability to financial decision-making without slowing teams down

    • Translate financial insights into actionable recommendations for leadership

  • Contingency Planning: Develop "Plan B" and "Plan C" financial frameworks to ensure the company remains resilient regardless of market shifts.

  • The "Source of Truth": Audit our current "money in/money out" processes to centralize all reporting into one professional standard.

  • Compliance & Month-End: Manage the full cycle of month-end closing, ensuring all financial statements are GAAP compliant and board-ready.

Who You Are
  • The Realist: You aren't afraid to push back on leadership or the CEO when a goal is unattainable based on the current spend. You prioritize accuracy over optimism.

  • The Pragmatist: You’re not marred by strict rulebooks. You understand where precision matters and where “good enough” serves the business better. You start from what’s possible and find the path to “yes,” rather than defaulting to “no.”

  • Systems Thinker: You look at opaque issues and don't just fix the number; you fix the process that caused the error.

  • Strategic Operator: You’re equally comfortable closing the books and sitting in a

  • leadership meeting explaining what the numbers mean and what to do about them.

  • Startup Experienced: You’ve ideally been a part of a scaling startup in the past and understand how to navigate the complexities of scaling at each stage.

Minimum Qualifications
  • 5–10+ years of experience in accounting, finance, FP&A, or operational finance roles

  • Expert-level proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and modern ERP/Accounting software (e.g., NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Sage).

  • Proven track record of managing inventory-heavy financial cycles.

  • Strong accounting background – CPA or equivalent professional accounting designation.

Nice to Have
  • Experience implementing finance systems or ERP tooling.

  • Experience in collectibles, e-commerce, virtual-goods, or other inventory-heavy / physical-goods businesses

  • Experience supporting fundraising, board reporting, or investor diligence.
