Controller - Multi Unit Retail

Monmouth Trading Cards

5d•$125,000 - $150,000•Remote

About The Position

Monmouth Cards is one of the fastest-growing specialty retailers in the trading card and collectibles category. We operate eleven stores across New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Arizona, a rapidly scaling e-commerce business, live commerce, and a growing events and vending operation. This is a hands-on Controller role with an unusually clear mandate: own the NetSuite implementation and transition, then run a clean, timely close on it. We are moving off QuickBooks. You will lead that migration end to end — chart of accounts design, data conversion, POS and e-commerce integrations, inventory and multi-location setup, and cutover. After go-live, you own the monthly close, the reporting package, and the financial infrastructure that supports both our store expansion and an eventual outside investment or transaction. You will report to the COO/CFO and work directly with the CEO. This is a build role, not a maintenance role.

Requirements

5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including a Controller or Assistant Controller role
Deep, hands-on NetSuite experience — you have implemented it or led a migration to it, not just used it
Multi-entity and multi-location accounting experience
Strong inventory accounting background in a retail, e-commerce or distribution environment
Demonstrated ability to own a monthly close independently and improve it
Comfortable working in a company where processes are still being built

Nice To Haves

CPA
Experience in specialty retail, e-commerce, or consumer products
