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.

Compensation: $120,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year
