  • Budgeting & Forecasting: Develop and monitor budgets, forecasts, cash flow projections, and support executive leadership with strategic planning.
  • Operational Inventory Control: Monitor inventory levels across warehouse and retail locations, review aging/expiration reports, and analyze slow-moving or excess inventory.
  • Waste & Profitability Optimization: Partner with operations teams to execute action plans for promotions, discounts, or repackaging to reduce waste and optimize product margins.
  • Audits, Compliance & Controls: Maintain internal controls, ensure compliance with accounting standards and tax regulations, and coordinate audits with external partners.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with warehouse, logistics, purchasing, and store management through regular on-site walkthroughs to ensure inventory accuracy and operational discipline.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience, ideally with a hands-on management style in an on-site environment.
  • Industry Background: Strong preference for experience in food, consumer products, retail, distribution, manufacturing, or inventory-intensive environments.
  • Financial Expertise: Comprehensive knowledge of financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, internal controls, inventory accounting, and cost accounting principles.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Proven ability to work closely with operations, warehouse, logistics, and supply chain teams.
  • Technical & Soft Skills: Advanced proficiency in Excel and ERP systems, paired with excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
