  • Compliance & Audits: Ensure adherence to state/federal regulations, manage tax filings, and coordinate external audits.

  • Team Development: Lead and mentor the finance team, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

  • Executive Collaboration: Partner with leadership to align financial strategy with company goals, providing insights for new initiatives.

  • Experience in inventory management, cost analysis, and pricing strategy within e-commerce.

  • Familiarity with digital marketing ROI analysis and customer acquisition cost optimization.
