Background:
Grand Cru Liquid Assets is expanding again after 40% growth last year — and we’re on track for another 20% this year. To support that growth, we’re hiring a Controller to lead our accounting and financial operations.
This is a high- impact role in a small, driven team where precision matters and your work is visible at the executive level.
Position Summary:
The Controller will oversee all aspects of accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, and compliance. This position plays a key role in managing financial statements, payroll, and taxes; implementing internal controls; coordinating audits; and providing financial insights to support executive decisions. We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on leader with deep knowledge of accounting, strong analytical capabilities, and the confidence to streamline systems in a fast-moving, growth oriented company.
Key Responsibilities:
• Prepare and present internal and external financial reports, including income statements and balance sheet.
• Lead the budgeting and forecasting process to guide company goals and performance.
• Manage cash flow and provide clear, actionable reporting to ownership.
• Hire, mentor, and develop accounting team members to build a high-performance culture.
• Provide financial analysis to support operational and strategic decisions across departments.
• Ensure compliance with all tax and regulatory requirements, including sales tax, payroll, and federal/states filing.
• Establish and enforce internal controls to safeguard assets and ensure accuracy of financial data.
• Coordinate vendor audits, maintain strong vendor relationships to negotiate favorable vendor terms and optimize margins and reduce costs.
• Collaborate initially with the external CPA firm to enhance balance sheet accuracy and P&L integrity.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; Master’s preferred.
• GAAP knowledge. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation strongly preferred.
• Advanced analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Strong leadership, communication, and cross-departmental collaboration skills.
• Proficiency in QuickBooks and familiarity with GAAP compliance.
Experience:
• 7-10 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 5 years in a leadership or management role.
• Proven success in developing financial processes and improving systems.
Compensation and Benefits:
• Base Salary: $125,000–$150,000
• Quarterly Discretionary Performance Bonuses
• Medical/Dental/Vision (50% employer contribution), 401(k) with Safe Harbor, PTO, paid holidays, employee wine perks, and a growth path into CFO.
