Southwest Accounting Resources • Scottsdale, AZ

About The Position

This is a ground-floor opportunity to build the financial infrastructure of a growing retail company — and grow into the CFO role as the company scales. Reporting directly to the CEO and sitting on the leadership team, the VP of Accounting will own all accounting and financial planning functions. You'll operate as a hands-on accounting leader alongside a Staff Accountant — month end close, managing cash flow, overseeing payroll, and establishing consistent in-store accounting controls across all locations. On the strategic side, you'll build a fully integrated financial model from scratch, lead the annual budgeting process, develop location-level scorecards and dashboards, and prepare board-ready financial reporting. You'll also own lender relationships, covenant compliance, and the annual audit — and lead ERP selection and migration.
