Assistant Controller

We are looking for an Assistant Controller who is ready to grow with us, someone who brings broad controllership depth, thrives in a complex operational environment, and wants to do the most meaningful work of their career at a brand they can be proud of.

The right candidate has seen what it looks like when a high-growth consumer brand steps into its next stage of financial maturity and accountability, and knows how to build the infrastructure, rigor, and reporting standards that stage demands.

Depending on the depth of experience and background a candidate brings, the scope and seniority of this role has room to reflect that.

This role sits at the intersection of technical rigor and real business impact. You will own financial reporting integrity, support a reporting environment with significant regulatory and audit complexity, and bring structure and leadership to one of our most operationally nuanced areas: global inventory and cost accounting. If you are looking for a role where your fingerprints are on the entire accounting function, not just one corner of it, this is it.

What You’ll Do

Inventory and Cost Accounting

Own global inventory valuation across raw materials, WIP, finished goods, retail, and in-transit inventory, including accurate capitalization of landed costs across a multi-country supply chain

Oversee standard costing methodology, BOM governance, and cost integrity across product categories, with clear gross margin analysis and variance visibility for leadership

Manage the Allowance for Inventory Reserve process and maintain strong controls around obsolescence and inventory aging

Financial Reporting, Controls, and Compliance

Own the month-end and year-end close process, ensuring timely and accurate reporting across the full general ledger

Prepare and review financial statements, balance sheet reconciliations, flux analyses, and management reports for the CFO and senior leadership

Research and document technical accounting positions on complex or emerging issues, assess the impact of new standards, and support the preparation and review of external financial filings in compliance with US GAAP

Build and maintain a strong internal controls environment, implement and document accounting policies, and drive SOX-ready infrastructure across the accounting function

Lead or support the annual financial audit process and serve as a primary relationship owner with external auditors

Process Improvement and Systems

Own the roadmap for NetSuite optimization and scalable close processes, partnering with IT and operations to build the systems and control structures a growing global business requires

Build executive-facing dashboards and KPI reporting that translate accounting data into clear, actionable insight for the CFO and leadership team

Drive standardization of accounting policies and procedures across entities and geographies as the business scales internationally

Cross-Functional Partnership and Team Leadership

Build trusted partnerships across FP&A, Supply Chain, Production, Planning, and DC Operations, serving as a finance voice that is credible, collaborative, and commercially minded

Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team, creating a high-performing function where people grow and the work scales with the business

Show up as a peer leader across the finance and accounting organization, someone directors and cross-functional partners want in the room and can rely on

Support new market launches and evolving distribution models with the financial structure and foresight they require

What You’ll Bring

8 to 12+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 4+ years in a senior leadership role

CPA required; MBA a plus

Demonstrated experience operating within or supporting a complex regulatory and external reporting environment, including familiarity with SEC reporting requirements and SOX compliance

A mix of public accounting (Big 4 or mid-tier) and private industry experience strongly preferred

Deep expertise in inventory and cost accounting within retail, apparel, e-commerce, or CPG, including standard costing, landed cost accounting, and variance analysis across a high-SKU, multi-entity environment

Proven experience in multi-currency, international manufacturing environments with cross-border inventory flows

Advanced ERP experience required with NetSuite strongly preferred; expert-level Excel proficiency and experience building complex financial models for large datasets

Strong people manager with a proven track record of developing accounting teams and driving cross-functional alignment

Self-motivated, highly collaborative, and comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced environment

Who You Are

You have unquestionable integrity and hold yourself and your team to a high standard

You are a strong communicator who can translate complex accounting matters clearly for any audience

You spot what needs fixing before anyone asks, and you fix it

You lead with curiosity and humility, collaborating without ego, building trust quickly, and making the people around you better

You are energized by complexity, not slowed down by it

Why This Role Is Exciting: This is a chance to step into a high-impact leadership role at a brand that is scaling intentionally and building something lasting. You will have executive visibility, broad ownership across the accounting function, and a genuine seat at the table on financial reporting strategy and business performance.

You will be joining a finance and accounting leadership team that holds itself to a high standard and genuinely enjoys working together. Cultural fit and peer collaboration are not afterthoughts here, they are part of how we evaluate every leader we bring in.
