THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a newly created seat on our leadership team.You'll own the financial engine of a multi-brand consumer products company and sit at the table where pricing, item, partner, and customer decisions get made. The mandate is straightforward:
know what drives profitability and lead us to more of it.In a lean organization like ours, that influence is immediate — your recommendations become decisions the same week, not the same fiscal year.

WHAT YOU`LL OWN Accounting & Close

• Full accounting cycle in Quick Books: AP, AR, GL, reconciliations, and monthly/quarterly/annual close
• Timely, accurate financial statements the owner can actually run the business from
• Inventory accounting: landed cost, COGS accuracy, physical/cycle count reconciliation, obsolescence reserves
• Cash management, forecasting, and working capital planning
• Outside CPAs on tax; banking, insurance, and lender reporting relationships

Profitability & Analysis

• Build and maintain SKU-level and customer-level P&Ls
  — true landed cost including freight, duties, tariffs, packaging, and allowances
• Quantify the margin leaks specific to our business: retailer deductions and chargebacks, OTIF and compliance fines, co-op and markdown allowances, freight variances, returns, and licensing royalties
• Model pricing, quoting, and new item decisions — tell us the margin before we commit to the program
• Annual budget and rolling forecast; actual vs. plan with an explanation, not just a variance column
• Recurring management reporting: margin by brand, customer, channel, and item

Systems & Integration

• Serve as the connective tissue between Quick Books, our WMS, and our product database — establish the item master as the single source of truth and drive toward automated data flow
• Scope and help implement middleware, an integration layer, or an ERP path as the business warrants; build the business case and manage the vendors
• Eliminate manual re-keying and spreadsheet workarounds; establish internal controls and documented processes

WHAT WE`RE LOOKING FOR Required

• 5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with meaningful time in
  consumer products, manufacturing, or wholesale distribution
  — you understand inventory, COGS, and landed cost in your bones
• Hands-on ownership of a monthly close and full financial statement preparation
• Strong Quick Books (or comparable) and expert-level Excel — modeling, pivots, large data sets
• Proven ability to pull data from disconnected systems, reconcile it, and turn it into a decision
• Comfortable in a lean, fast-moving environment: strategic on Monday, coding invoices on Tuesday
• On-site in Bentonville, AR

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with Walmart, Sam s Club, and/or Amazon as a supplier
  — Retail Link, EDI, deduction and dispute recovery, OTIF, and supplier scorecard economics
• Systems integration or implementation: ERP, WMS, PIM, or middleware (Celigo, Boomi, or similar)
• Import and domestic manufacturing — POs, landed cost build-up, duty and tariff treatment
• Licensing and royalty reporting; multi-brand or multi-entity consolidations

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

First 90 Days
— You own the close and it lands on time. You ve mapped how data moves (and doesn t) between our three systems and delivered a written plan to connect them.

First 6 Months
— SKU- and customer-level margin reporting is live and trusted. Deduction exposure is quantified with a recovery process running. Budget and rolling forecast in place.

First Year
— Integrated systems have replaced the manual workarounds, leadership makes pricing and customer decisions off your numbers, and profitability is measurably better because you re in the seat.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Base salary of $90,000 – $120,000, depending on experience
