About Xero Shoes

Xero Shoes makes natural-movement footwear — minimalist, barefoot-inspired shoes, boots,

and sandals — built to let feet do what they’re designed to do. We’re a global brand with an

omnichannel model spanning direct-to-consumer e-commerce, wholesale, and international

distributor channels, with operating entities across the United States, the Netherlands, and the

Czech Republic.

Backed by private equity, we’re a fast-moving, dynamic company in a period of growth and

change. If you want real ownership, global complexity, and the chance to make an immediate

impact on a scaling finance function, this is the role.

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on, technically strong Controller to own day-to-day accounting

operations across our multi-entity, multi-currency global structure. Reporting directly to the CFO,

you’ll run the close, drive financial reporting under U.S. GAAP, prepare our quarterly SEC

filings, and maintain a strong internal controls environment. This is not a purely managerial role

— you’ll mentor and direct the team while working right alongside them, rolling up your sleeves

to close the books and take on hands-on project work directly.

You’ll lead a team of four accounting resources who work collaboratively together, and you’ll

partner closely with a lead FP&A resource who works alongside you and the accounting team.

Ours is a fast-paced, dynamic company where needs and projects change constantly. You’ll

need to be comfortable managing varying and shifting priorities, setting clear expectations with

stakeholders, and delivering on time — strong time management is critical.

What You’ll Do

• Own the monthly close process across all global entities (U.S., Netherlands B.V., Czech),

including consolidation and multi-currency / foreign currency translation

• Oversee the general ledger and core accounting operations: accounts payable, accounts

receivable, payroll, and treasury support

• Mentor and direct a team of four accounting resources, working right alongside them as

part of the team to get the work done

• Lead the preparation and filing of Forms 10-Q, 10-K, 8-K, and other SEC filings, ensuring

accuracy, completeness, and compliance with SEC regulations and U.S. GAAP

• Work closely with external auditors on the annual PCAOB audit and quarterly reviews

• Maintain, document, and continuously strengthen internal controls over financial reporting

• Provide support to our private equity owners and executive team, including preparing

board presentations and financial analyses

• Prepare statutory accounts and manage the audit of international entities

• Coordinate tax compliance across U.S. and international jurisdictions with outside advisors

• Oversee cash management and banking activities, including borrowing base reporting to

our lender

• Monitor accounts receivable, collections, and cash conversion

• Partner closely with the lead FP&A resource on budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow

management

What You Bring

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance and an active CPA license

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience

• Hands-on accounting leadership experience, with the ability and willingness to work

directly in the details of the close, financial reporting, reconciliations, controls, and

accounting processes

• Industry background in consumer products, direct-to-consumer (DTC), e-commerce, retail,

footwear, or other inventory-intensive businesses

• Experience with international operations, foreign currency accounting, and multi-entity

consolidations

• Strong U.S. GAAP expertise; public accounting foundation preferred.

• First-hand experience running and managing an external audit, plus a solid understanding

of PCAOB audit requirements

• Comfort in a fast-paced, dynamic company where needs and projects change constantly

— able to manage varying and shifting priorities, set clear expectations with stakeholders,

and deliver on time; strong time management is critical

• Advanced Excel skills
