PublishedPublished: 6/14/2022

Job Description

Morgan Mace is partnering with a fast-scaling, multi-channel ecommerce company to find their first dedicated Senior Controller.

\n


\n

This is a hands-on controller role for an accounting-first leader who will own the full P&L, books, and balance sheet end-to-end. The business sells physical goods across Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop and operates with a multi-entity international structure.

About the Opportunity

\n

The company is seeking a pragmatic, detail-oriented finance leader who has personally driven month-end closes in a similar ecommerce environment. This is not a strategic FP&A or board-facing role — it is a true ownership position focused on accuracy, reconciliation, and operational finance.

\n

They operate with high transparency, zero politics, and a strong bias for results. The entire team reviews a daily P&L, so precision and candor are essential.

Key Responsibilities

\n

    \n
  • Lead the monthly close and deliver accurate accrual-basis financials (including true landed COGS — inventory, freight, duties, and fees) within tight timelines.
  • \n

  • Own the daily P&L, with full reconciliation of platform payouts, reserves, refunds, chargebacks, and processor fees across all sales channels.
  • \n

  • Manage complex payment processor accounting across multiple providers with exacting standards.
  • \n

  • Provide weekly cash reporting and actively manage liquidity and working capital.
  • \n

  • Build and maintain a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast.
  • \n

  • Secure and optimize credit facilities (cards, ad platforms, vendor terms, etc.).
  • \n

  • Review significant spend, drive cost savings, and maintain full audit readiness.
  • \n

  • Coordinate with external tax, transfer pricing, and accounting partners while owning the quality of their deliverables.
  • \n

  • Build scalable processes and grow the finance function as the company expands.
  • \n

Requirements

\n

    \n
  • Proven hands-on experience personally closing books at an ecommerce company with physical inventory.
  • \n

  • Strong background reconciling multi-channel platforms (Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop) and multiple payment processors.
  • \n

  • Experience with inventory accounting, landed costs, QuickBooks, and ecommerce reconciliation tools (e.g., A2X).
  • \n

  • Exposure to multi-entity / international structures.
  • \n

  • Track record of managing external bookkeeping and advisory relationships.
  • \n

  • CPA or public accounting background is preferred.
  • \n

\n


\n

Ideal Profile

\n

They are looking for a US-based, extremely hands-on professional who chases down discrepancies personally, communicates directly, and improves broken processes. Someone who treats deadlines as commitments and wants to work alongside other high performers.

\n


\n

Not a Fit If

\n

    \n
  • Background is primarily FP&A, banking, or consulting without recent hands-on close experience.
  • \n

  • Preference for large teams and already-mature systems.
  • \n

  • Not comfortable being deeply involved in day-to-day execution.
  • \n
