  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) & Inventory: Accurately calculate and track COGS, manage inventory valuation, and ensure inventory records align with sales data across all platforms.
  • Expense & Accounts Payable/Receivable: Process and record all operational expenses (e.g., marketing, shipping, software subscriptions), manage accounts payable (supplier invoices), and accounts receivable.
  • Financial Reporting: Prepare monthly or quarterly financial statements, including Profit & Loss (P&L), Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement to provide clear, actionable financial insights.
  • Tax Compliance Support: Assist in gathering all necessary financial data and documentation to facilitate timely and accurate filing of sales tax, VAT, and annual income taxes (working alongside our CPA/Tax Accountant).

Required Skills & Experience

  • E-commerce Specialization: Demonstrable experience working with e-commerce businesses, specifically managing multiple sales channels and understanding the flow of marketplace transactions.
  • Software Proficiency (Must-Haves): Expert-level proficiency with a major cloud-based accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks Online or Xero).
  • E-commerce App/Integration Knowledge: Familiarity with common e-commerce accounting integrations (e.g., A2X, LinkMyBooks, or similar) is a major asset.
  • Attention to Detail: Exceptional precision and dedication to accuracy in all data entry and reconciliation tasks.
  • Organizational Skills: Excellent time management and organizational abilities to handle the records of multiple separate entities efficiently.
  • Local/Communication: Must be locally based (or within a reasonable distance) for occasional meetings and demonstrate strong verbal and written communication skills to explain financial data clearly.
