Who are we?

Ecom CFO is a top-rated outsourced CFO and Financial Services firm that helps e-Commerce founders achieve more profitable decision-making, new levels of scale, and exit by providing:

• Investor & Acquisition Grade Financials Statements

Ecom CFO’s Core Values

• ⭐ How you do most things is how you do most things

• ⭐ We constantly improve and embrace change

As Lead CFO, you will be responsible for ensuring the provision of timely and accurate accounting services across a portfolio of our client companies.

You will develop (and bring some of your own) technical expertise - placing you front and center during the process of managing client financial reviews, onboarding new clients, special FP&A projects, accounting system conversions, and the implementation and integrations of a variety of e-commerce, MRP, ERP, and other SaaS systems.

You will have the opportunity to develop deep and rewarding relationships with high-growth clients, in exciting new marketplaces - becoming the client’s ‘go-to’ resource.

You will grow into a leader of remote finance and accounting professionals, empowering them to deliver best-in-class CFO, bookkeeping services, and financial operations through the application of clearly crafted policies and procedures.

What you will do

• Facilitate monthly financial reviews to clients - providing them confidence and clarity in their decision making

• Oversee and ensure accurate and timely provision of client accounting operations: AP, AR, Cash Management, Payroll, Tax, Inventory Control, and general accounting.

• Follow and support the development of standard operating procedures and policies to ensure accuracy, GAAP compliance, and consistency across our client base.

• Manage and mentor junior team - supporting their ability to provide best-in-class, remote service by providing clear, day-by-day operating procedures.

• Liaise with clients to resolve finance and accounting questions and ad-hoc queries and requests, and ensure your team has timely access to the information they need.

• Support client onboarding and the implementation and integration of accounting and other CRM, MRP, ERP, and e-commerce marketplace SaaS systems.

Who you are

• Extremely well organized and an exceptional prioritizer. You never miss a deadline and like to get things done ahead of time

• You are very comfortable with change and adapt quickly when priorities change - sometimes that perfectly planned day has to take a rain check.

• You have mastered remote work and asynchronous communication. You know how to unmute, record a video, and when to thread.

• You are a passionate problem solver and will roll up your sleeves to get the job done

• If you don't know something, you say so. Then go figure it out quickly.

• You are transparent. You give credit to others where credit is due and take responsibility for misses when they rest with you

• You love to learn: new tools, new tech, new standards, new clients

What you’ll need

• Experience in a high-level CFO and/or management consultant role

• Prior client service experience strongly preferred - comfort managing up to 10 clients

• Quickbooks Online and related SaaS integrations preferred

• 5+ years experience in accounting/finance preferred

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting preferred

• E-commerce and manufacturing accounting experience preferred

• Familiarity with inventory accounting processes and best practices
