Alvies is looking for a highly motivated key contributor to assist with finance and operations for our fast-growing retail business. Maybe it’s you!
The Finance & Operations Assistant position will handle a variety of responsibilities, including the numbers (bookkeeping, financial reporting/forecasting, etc.) and the operations (relationship management, inventory and packing, etc.). Hence the clever title.
Reporting directly to the CEO, the Finance & Operations Assistant will use knowledge of our products and our business, flexibility (mental not physical, although physical can’t hurt), and nearly unlimited amounts of positive energy and can-do spirit to help our small team execute in a number of high-impact areas. And of course the best-of-the-best, Maverick-from-Top-Gun candidates will also have a passion for boots, flip-flops and beautiful Austin, Texas.
WHO YOU ARE
Our ideal candidate will have:
2–3 years of experience in finance and operations, preferably in the ecommerce industry; some project management experience is a plus
College Degree
A head for numbers and heart for boots/flops
Strong knowledge of Quickbooks and Microsoft Office
Strong understanding of how to manage ecommerce finance, inventory, and accounting
The ability to wear a lot of different hats throughout the day (both metaphorically and literally)
Customer service experience and a focus on wowing customers with every interaction
Strong attention to detail
Strong affinity for and understanding of the Alvies brand, story, and mission
A friendly demeanor and positive attitude
WHAT YOU’LL DO
You’ll assist the company in a wide variety of areas, with one day never looking like another. If you enjoy boring, monotonous work with boring, monotonous people, this is probably not the gig for you. But your specific duties will definitely include:
Financial Management
Bookkeeping
Accounting
Cashflow reporting
Financial reporting & forecasting
Prep for year-end and tax filings
Inventory management & tracking
Partner relationship management
Local product pickup and delivery
