When to hire

When buying runs on stale numbers

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

Peak weeks go unreconciled The busiest trading days generate the biggest backlog.
Buying from stale numbers Orders get placed before the last close finished.
Invoices unmatched to stock What was billed and what arrived never got compared.
Close misses the order cycle Decisions happen before the figures are ready.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • The busiest weeks generate the biggest backlog.
  • Buying decisions use last month's figures.
  • Invoices never get matched to stock received.
  • The close lands after the next order.
  • Store takings reconcile whenever there is time.
  • Nobody sees the channel numbers together.

Model fit

Where your retail accountants work best

Hire in the US when
  • Filings and sign off carry fiduciary duty
  • The seat visits stores during a count
  • Auditors expect a domestic contact
Hire globally when
  • Takings reconciliation is daily system work
  • Supplier invoice matching is high volume
  • Channel reporting runs from your platform

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Daily takings reconciliation Global Daily system work, staffs globally
Supplier invoice matching Global High volume and rule based
Channel reporting Global Platform work, runs from anywhere
Planning and forecast analysis Global Desk work with no location benefit

One partner, onshore and global

A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

What does a retail finance desk own?

It closes against a trading calendar rather than a month. The desk reconciles daily takings across stores and channels, handles the supplier invoices behind stock, and produces the numbers buying decisions rest on before the next order cycle. Its pressure point is that the busiest trading weeks generate the most reconciliation.

Which retail finance seat should we hire first?

Usually the Bookkeeper, because daily takings reconciliation is what slips first and everything downstream inherits the gap. Retailers whose problem is planning rather than reconciliation should start with the Financial Planning and Analysis Analyst. We will ask how many stores and channels you reconcile.

Can retail finance be staffed globally?

Yes, most of it. Takings reconciliation, invoice matching, channel reporting and planning analysis are system based and staff globally from our six core talent markets. Filings and final sign off stay with a US seat on your payroll, which is where retailers usually draw the line.

Will these hires work in our retail systems?

Yes. Staff work across the point of sale, ecommerce and accounting systems you already run, matching to your store structure and your channel definitions. Fluency is tested during vetting, so someone presented as a Bookkeeper has reconciled a real multi store takings file in an exercise.

How do you vet retail finance candidates?

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, plus a reconciliation exercise built from a peak trading week, when volume is highest and the temptation to defer is strongest. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. Whether someone keeps up during the busy week is the whole question on this desk.

What does a retail bookkeeper cost?

Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, which suits a desk whose workload spikes with trading. Filings and final sign off stay with a domestic seat. US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront.

Can they reconcile across all our channels?

Yes, provided you can give access to each. Most retailers run a point of sale system, an ecommerce platform and an accounting package that do not agree with each other, and reconciling between them is exactly the work. We will list the systems on the call before scoping the seat.

Can we add help just for peak trading?

You can, and fully managed global seats run month to month with no severance exposure. What we would flag is that peak is when the seat is least able to learn your business. Starting a month before the peak, rather than during it, is what makes the season work.
