Role Overview

Our client is a well-established consumer technology organization with over two decades of experience developing safety‑driven electronic products used by millions of customers globally. Their brands are sold through major e‑commerce channels, online marketplaces, and big‑box retail partners across North America. The company is currently undergoing a strategic shift—moving from a traditional hardware‑focused e‑commerce model toward a subscription‑enabled technology offering supported by cloud‑based services. They are also expanding into a more advanced, professional‑grade security category. This evolution calls for a hands‑on finance leader who can build structure, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen financial governance in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment. This role is ideal for a CPA‑designated finance professional with a strong backbone in accounting, exceptional operational instincts, and the ability to build a scalable finance function. The position involves direct partnership with the CEO and senior leadership team while remaining deeply rooted in day‑to‑day operations.
