About Wantable

At Wantable, we’re redefining the way people discover and express their personal style. As a leading eCommerce apparel brand, we bring inspiration, creativity, and confidence to our customers through personalized shopping experiences. The Company offers a diversified product line, including internally developed brands and merchandise sourced from external vendors. We're a passionate and committed team — and we're looking for a talented Controller to help shape the financial foundation that powers our growth.

The Role

We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented, and forward-thinking Controller to lead our accounting and financial operations. This role goes beyond managing numbers — it’s about helping to drive strategy, ensuring financial integrity, and empowering our team to make smart, data-informed decisions. Our ideal candidate is personable and approachable, contributing to a supportive and cooperative work environment.

As Controller, you’ll oversee day-to-day accounting operations, lead the monthly close and financial reporting process, coordinate budgeting and forecasting efforts across departments, and serve as a key business partner to leadership. You’ll also collaborate with our fractional CFO and external accounting firm to manage our annual financial audit and ensure compliance with GAAP.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the Finance Team : Manage, mentor, and develop a talented finance team across multiple locations.
  • Manage Accounting Operations : Oversee general ledger activity and ensure timely, accurate monthly, quarterly, and year-end closes.
  • Drive Financial Forecasting : Prepare, analyze, and present reports that forecast company performance, track cash flow, and support strategic decision-making.
  • Own the Budget Process : Partner with department leaders to create, monitor, and enforce budgets — ensuring alignment with company goals.
  • Strengthen Controls & Compliance : Establish and maintain strong internal controls, accounting procedures, and financial reporting processes in compliance with GAAP.
  • Coordinate Audit & Tax Compliance : Work closely with our fractional CFO and outside accounting firm to manage the annual financial audit and oversee tax compliance, including state sales tax reporting.
  • Partner with Leadership : Collaborate with the President, COO and CFO to provide actionable insights and financial recommendations that help drive growth and efficiency.
  • Champion Efficiency : Continuously seek opportunities to streamline processes and enhance financial systems and tools.
  • Lead with a can-do attitude : Demonstrate an upbeat mindset and a proactive, solution-oriented approach.

Requirements

What You Bring

  • Proven success as a Controller or senior accounting leader in an eCommerce, retail, manufacturing or similar environment.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills with a collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves mindset.
  • Hands-on experience with budgeting, forecasting, and cost accounting.
  • Familiarity with GAAP compliance, financial reporting, and annual audit preparation.
  • Proficiency in, Microsoft Office, and Google Workspace; experience with QuickBooks and ERP systems a plus.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-changing, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Benefits

    Why Wantable?

  • Be part of a dynamic, fast-growing company that has innovation and creativity embedded in its DNA.
  • A chance to shape our customers’ journey and leave a lasting impact on their self-confidence, one order at a time.
  • Join a collaborative environment where your ideas matter, your efforts are rewarded and you can see results in real time.
  • Wantable team members enjoy free food, coffee, and drinks in our HQ's beautiful Wantable Cafe. We have a laid-back, casual environment in a state-of-the-art HQ in Walkers Point.

    We offer flexible schedules, paid parental leave (mothers AND fathers), and a private room for nursing mothers.

    Even more exciting : paid vacation and seven paid holidays per year, plus a 50% discount on all merchandise. You’ll be eligible for the discount on your first day.

    Important, but maybe less thrilling : we have ample parking, we offer medical (traditional and high deductible), dental, and vision insurance, as well as a 401K (both pre-tax and Roth options).
