About Monmouth Cards

Monmouth Cards is one of the fastest-growing sports and trading card retailers in the country — 10+ stores across NJ, CT, and MA, a high-volume e-commerce business, live selling (Whatnot, eBay Live, TikTok), marketplaces (eBay, TCGplayer, COMC), and a growing fleet of vending machines and stadium kiosks. We move a lot of high-value inventory across a lot of channels, and we're scaling fast. We need a Controller to bring real financial discipline to a business that has outgrown spreadsheets.

The Role

This is the senior finance hire for Monmouth Cards. Reporting to the CEO, you'll own the entire accounting and finance function — the books, the close, the cash, and the numbers leadership decides on. It's a hands-on, build-it role for someone who likes turning a fast, messy operation into something clean and scalable.

What You'll Own

• Month-end close and reporting across multiple entities, including consolidations.
• Inventory accounting and valuation — our hardest, most important number (high velocity, fluctuating values, consignment, grading float).
• Multi-channel revenue reconciliation across POS, Shopify, live selling, marketplaces, and vending.
• Gross margin analysis by store, channel, and category.
• Cash management and treasury (Mercury, Ramp); AP, AR, and payroll .
• Multi-state sales tax and nexus (NJ, CT, MA, and growing).
• Budgeting, forecasting, and FP&A — the models the business runs on.
• NetSuite as the financial system of record — lead its rollout and Shopify POS integration, and build scalable processes and controls.
• Investor and strategic support for financing, M&A, and other initiatives.

What You Bring

• 5–8 years in accounting/finance, including time as a Controller or Assistant Controller (or a strong Accounting Manager ready to step up).
• Inventory-heavy retail or e-commerce experience — COGS, inventory valuation, channel reconciliation.
• Multi-entity accounting and consolidation experience.
• NetSuite (or a comparable ERP, with the ability to ramp on NetSuite) and advanced Excel.
• Multi-state sales tax familiarity and a systems-and-automation mindset.
• Comfort as a self-directed owner in a fast-moving, founder-led environment.
• CPA preferred (not required for the right candidate).
• Bonus: trading cards/collectibles, NetSuite implementation, Shopify POS, or M&A/diligence experience.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base: $120,000–$150,000 , depending on experience, plus a performance bonus tied to close discipline, margin, and cash/inventory targets.
• On-site at our NJ headquarters, working directly with the CEO and operations team.
• Health benefits, paid time off, and meaningful upside as we scale.

Monmouth Cards is an equal opportunity employer.
