Controller

About Us

Clean Nutra is one of the fastest-growing health & wellness companies — processing 15,000+ daily orders, running 200+ SKUs across Amazon, TikTok, Shopify, and Meta, and scaling toward $200M+ in annual revenue.

We’re hiring a Controller to own day-to-day accounting, month-end close, and financial integrity. You’ll turn high-velocity operations into clean books, tight controls, and audit-ready accuracy—powering the CFO, Co-CEOs, and Growth teams with timely, trustworthy numbers.

Core Responsibilities

Accounting Operations & Close

• Own the GL, chart of accounts, and accounting policies (US GAAP).

• Drive a fast, precise month-end close (target ≤5 business days) with checklists, SLAs, and variance analysis.

• Manage daily reconciliations: bank, merchant processors, marketplaces (Amazon/TikTok/Shopify), inventory, AP/AR, and payroll.

• Maintain fixed assets, prepaid/accrual schedules, intercompany eliminations (multi-entity).

• Deliver monthly financials with flux analysis and full workpapers.

• Manage multi-entity consolidations and intercompany allocations (Amazon US, EU, TikTok, Shopify); build repeatable allocation rules across platforms for freight, fulfillment, advertising, and shared overhead.

• Reconcile cross-entity loans, eliminations, and transfer pricing entries.

Revenue, COGS & Inventory

• Reconcile marketplace settlements (fees, promos, refunds, chargebacks, reserves) and ensure correct revenue classification.

• Own COGS methodology (standard vs actual), landed cost, freight-in/overhead allocations, and channel-level contribution margin.

• Partner with Supply Chain on cycle counts and annual physicals; maintain inventory valuation accuracy and shrinkage controls.

• Align Cin7/ERP, SellerBoard, and QuickBooks to one source of truth; resolve mapping issues and data gaps.

Lot Traceability, Recall Readiness & Inventory Integrity

• Enforce end-to-end lot/batch tracking from raw materials → WIP → finished goods → channel shipments (Cin7/ERP ↔ 3PL/WMS ↔ marketplaces).

• Maintain lot genealogy (components → finished SKU) with COAs, batch records, expiry dates, and supplier IDs attached in system.

• Run FEFO and expiry management; manage quarantines/holds and write-offs with documentation.

• Perform weekly lot-level reconciliations: ERP on-hand by lot vs 3PL counts vs sell-through; investigate variances.

• Orchestrate mock recalls (Class I–III) and demonstrate trace-forward/back within SLA; own the Recall Plan and contact trees.

• Tie lot-level landed costs (duties, freight, overhead) to COGS; ensure Transparency/GS1/serialization aligns with financial and inventory records.

• Partner with Quality to align with 21 CFR Part 111 cGMP documentation (receiving, testing, deviations/CAPA) and keep audit-ready evidence.

AP/AR, Payroll & Working Capital

• Oversee AP from intake to payment; optimize DPO without disrupting suppliers; administer payment runs and cash application.

• Tighten AR and chargeback resolution; improve DSO and cash conversion.

• Validate payroll journals, benefits, and accruals; partner with HR for accuracy and compliance.

• Track vendor terms, rebates, returns; surface working-capital opportunities.

Marketplace Revenue Integrity

• Classify promotions correctly (contra-revenue vs marketing); reconcile returns/RMAs, lot match-back, dispositions, and margin impact.

• Monitor marketplace policy-driven fees/adjustments and dispute where appropriate.

Controls, Compliance & Tax

• Implement SOX-lite internal controls (segregation of duties, approvals, audit trails).

• Maintain written SOPs for all accounting cycles; build exception dashboards (dup payments, stale credits, unmatched receipts).

• Coordinate sales/use tax automation (Avalara/TaxJar), 1099/W-9/W-8 collection, TIN matching, and year-end filings.

• Support external CPA reviews/audits and lender/board reporting.

• Coordinate global indirect tax compliance (VAT, GST, sales/use tax) with Avalara / TaxJar / IOSS systems; ensure alignment between US entities and EU subsidiaries.

• Support CPA on state and international income-tax provisioning and filings.

Systems, Data & Automation

• Administer QuickBooks Online, Cin7/ERP integrations, and BI connectors; build automated reconciliations and data hygiene rules.

• Maintain master-data governance (SKU, BOM/recipe versions, pack sizes); lock COA links and expiry at the lot record.

• Partner with the CFO/Finance Ops to deploy daily/weekly KPI dashboards (gross margin by SKU/channel, contribution margin, opex trends).

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead an in-house + offshore accounting team; set KPIs, QA reviews, and training cadence.

• Coordinate with Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Marketing, and Customer Support so every dollar and every lot is tracked and assigned correctly.

• Serve as the CFO’s right hand for close cadence, audit readiness, and continuous process improvement.

Financial Analysis & Headlights:

• Deliver daily and weekly “Headlights” reports showing revenue, GMV, COGS, ad spend, contribution margin, and cash balance by channel.

• Partner with FP&A to convert raw accounting data into forward-looking insights, forecasts, and variance commentary.

• Monitor leading indicators (MER, ad ROAS, unit economics) and flag anomalies to the CFO.

Qualifications

• 6–10+ years progressive accounting experience; Controller or Assistant Controller in CPG/eCommerce preferred.

• CPA highly preferred (or equivalent experience) with strong US GAAP command.

• Deep experience with marketplace/accounting for Amazon, Shopify, TikTok; high-volume transaction environments.

• Proficient in QuickBooks, Cin7/ERP, Avalara/TaxJar; BI/reporting tools (Power BI/Tableau/Looker Studio); advanced Excel/Google Sheets.

• Strong inventory & cost accounting (standard cost, overhead absorption, landed cost, purchase price variance, yield/scrap).

• Proven team leadership (domestic + offshore) and a builder’s mindset—SOPs, controls, automation.

• Bonus: SQL/Power Query basics; experience with 3PL/WMS data and SellerBoard.
