Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.
Every retail finance role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.
Exceptional talent from Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Canada, from $12/hr. One monthly fee, all-inclusive: sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.

Prefer nothing upfront? From 15%, paid only when you hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of salary for the same search.

When buying runs on stale numbers
Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.
- 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.

Beyond retail finance
One desk inside finance. If stock rather than the numbers is the problem, operations owns it.

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.
