Controller

T HENRI | Luxury Eyewear | Boca Raton, FL (East Boca) | Full-Time, On-Site

Own the finance function of a fast-growing luxury brand

T HENRI is an independent luxury eyewear house that designs its own limited-production frames, handcrafted in Sabae, Japan, and sells them through authorized retailers in approximately 50 countries and a growing direct-to-consumer business.

We are now bringing finance fully in-house, and we are looking for our first in-house Controller to take over the books from our outsourced accounting firm and the finance work our CEO handles today, document how it gets done, put strong internal controls in place and own the entire function hands-on. This is a ground-floor role with a real path to a senior finance leadership position, and the potential to build a team, as the company scales.

Why this role stands out

• You will be the single owner of finance at a fast-growing, design-led brand with strong momentum.
• You will report directly to the CEO and work every day with a tight, collaborative operations team.
• You will have the room to bring in new ideas, systems and processes rather than inherit someone else's.
• The role is built to grow with the company, including the opportunity to lead people over time.
• You will work in the luxury and fashion world, with international trade shows in Milan and Paris on the company calendar.

What you will do

Accounting, close and reporting

• Own day-to-day accounting in QuickBooks Online: journal entries, GL and account mapping, bank and credit-card feeds, and reconciliations across bank, credit-card, merchant-processor (Shopify, Stripe), payroll and sales-tax clearing accounts.
• Own a disciplined month-end and year-end close, with books fully reconciled and locked by the 14th calendar day after month-end (targeting day 12), including cutoff, journal-entry approval and supporting documentation.
• Prepare monthly financial statements and the management and investor/lender reporting package, including budget-to-actual and variance analysis, AR/AP aging, inventory and debt schedules, delivered on deadline.
• Build the internal controls, close checklists and documented workflows a growing company needs, including segregation of duties for payment approvals.

Inventory, BOM and COGS

• Build and maintain product-level costing across a bill of materials (lenses, frames, components, cases, cloths and packaging), including landed costs, foreign-currency costing and manufacturing deposits.
• Track inventory, work-in-process and goods in transit, plus SKU-level COGS, gross margin, reserves and write-offs, across 1,500+ limited-edition SKUs that change constantly.
• Post inventory receipts against purchase orders once the warehouse confirms them, and reconcile Shopify, QuickBooks Online and physical inventory, including Shopify settlements and fees, RMAs, returns, credit memos and refunds.
• Improve how inventory is costed and tracked as the business scales, working closely with our warehouse team, including occasional hands-on support during peak season.

Accounts receivable and collections

• Manage wholesale invoicing, customer account setup, payment terms (prepaid and NET) and monthly customer statements across 1,200+ customer accounts.
• Be the voice of the brand on collections calls: follow up on past-due accounts with professionalism and a luxury-level customer touch, track promises to pay and escalate delinquent accounts.
• Apply payments across wires, cards, checks and e-commerce, analyze AR aging (60, 90 and 120+ days) and flag accounts that fall outside approved terms.

Accounts payable, banking, tax and compliance

• Own the full AP cycle across 500+ vendors: vendor setup, statement and aging reconciliation, invoice discrepancies, and preparing and confirming approved domestic and international wires with a clear audit trail.
• Take over bank and credit-card administration and inter-account transfers from the CEO, manage daily cash and the rolling cash-flow forecast, and support pricing, inventory and capital decisions.
• Calculate monthly sales commissions for in-house and independent reps, and own quarterly, multistate sales and use-tax filings, remittances and reconciliation.
• Maintain loan and line-of-credit schedules, track customs duty-drawback claims through refund, keep the compliance and filing calendar, and coordinate with our outside CPA on payroll tax, year-end returns and lender or audit requests.

What you bring

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including controller-level or senior accountant ownership of the books.
• Strong inventory accounting experience, including bill-of-materials costing, COGS and gross margin by product.
• Expert, hands-on QuickBooks Online skills (close, bank feeds, inventory and reporting) and strong Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• Hands-on ownership of AR, AP, reconciliations, sales tax and monthly financial reporting.
• Shopify or comparable e-commerce accounting experience strongly preferred.
• A polished, confident phone presence and the ability to handle collections conversations with grace.
• A self-starter who can work independently, improve processes and take full ownership after onboarding.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent hands-on accounting leadership experience.

Nice to have

• Experience in eyewear, fashion, luxury goods, consumer products or manufacturing.
• Experience building internal controls and documented processes at a growing company.
• Experience with international transactions, multicurrency payments and customs duty drawback.
• Experience moving a finance function from an outsourced provider to in-house.
• CPA or CPA-track.
