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.
