Controller / Senior Financial Analyst

Tenacious Grit — Punch above our weight, always find a way, and finish strong.

Character Counts — With a family mentality, we lead with our heart and show up for each other.

Earn It Every Day — No ego and never satisfied with “good enough”.

Our Customers' First Call — Exceed expectations, protect their trust, and never take our relationships for granted.

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.

•        Full accounting cycle in QuickBooks: 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

•        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

•        Serve as the connective tissue between QuickBooks, 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

•        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 QuickBooks (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

•        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

•        CPA, CMA, or MBA

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.
