Why this role matters! An omnichannel business in Stamford needs a seasoned accounting leader who can walk in, earn the team's trust quickly, and keep the books moving with confidence while the company navigates a leadership transition. You will be the steady hand and the sharp technical mind in the room. Expect to spend your days coaching people, digging into inventory numbers, and making the calls that keep reporting accurate and on time. If you love being both the leader and the doer, this one is built for you. Where You'll Make an Impact Your team. Step in as the go-to leader for a group of roughly seven accountants. Set clear priorities, review their work, and help each person grow, while jumping into the details yourself whenever the moment calls for it. The close. Run a disciplined monthly, quarterly, and year-end close. You will touch the entries, reconciliations, and balance sheet support directly, and make sure the final numbers are right the first time. Inventory and margin. Take full ownership of how inventory is valued and how cost of sales is recorded. When counts, returns, reserves, or margins look off across the company's sales channels, you are the one who finds out why and fixes it. Technical judgment. Be the trusted GAAP resource for the business. Weigh in on unusual transactions, shape accounting policy, and give leadership answers they can rely on. Process and controls. Look at how things get done today with fresh eyes. Tighten controls, streamline reporting, and partner with auditors and operational teams to resolve issues before they grow. What You'll Bring A current CPA license. A solid run as a Controller, Assistant Controller, Director of Accounting, or similar accounting leader. Deep, practical experience with inventory and cost accounting. You have lived it, not just overseen it. Strong GAAP fluency and a confident hand with financial reporting and technical issues. Real ownership of close cycles, entries, reconciliations, and internal controls. A track record of building up accounting teams while staying close to the work. The independence to question how things are done and the judgment to land on the right answer. A genuine appetite for hands-on work. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves leadership role. Availability to be in the Stamford office three days a week. Bonus Big Four audit or advisory background. Industry experience in retail, apparel, CPG, or consumer products. Familiarity with omnichannel inventory, plus NetSuite or a similar ERP. Exposure to equity accounting.
