VP of Finance / Head of Finance
About Local Eclectic
Local Eclectic is a Chicago-based fine jewelry company operating five proprietary brands (Family Gold, For You With Love, Harvest Moon, Carried Jewels, Period Piece) with wholesale partnerships including Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Free People, and Rocksbox. The company is expanding beyond e-commerce and wholesale with the launch of a flagship retail store and café at 212 E. Ontario in downtown Chicago — bringing the business to three distinct revenue channels: online/DTC, in-person retail, and food & beverage.
We're looking for an experienced finance leader to own the company's full financial operations — from day-to-day cash management to strategic profitability work to banking relationships. This person will build the systems, reporting, and discipline needed to run three distinct business lines (e-commerce, retail, café) with the rigor of a much larger organization, while staying close enough to the details to catch problems before they become crises.
This is a hands-on operating role, not a purely strategic one. You'll be in the weeds on vendor invoices and payroll one day while also negotiating and managing banking partnerships.
Key Responsibilities
P&L and Profitability
Own the company's consolidated P&L and build separate, trackable P&Ls for each business line (online, retail, café)
Oversee gross margin and net profit performance across all brands and channels; identify and drive initiatives to improve profitability
Build and manage departmental budgets in partnership with department heads
Develop and manage open-to-buy budgets in coordination with merchandising/design
Cash Flow & Treasury
Own company-wide cash flow management and forecasting
Design and implement a system for tracking and managing cash flow across three separate business lines (e-commerce, retail, café)
Identify areas of inefficient or unnecessary cash spend and recommend corrective action
Manage bill pay, vendor invoices, and the accounts payable process
Lead vendor negotiations and manage vendor agreements/terms
Banking & Financing
Serve as the primary point of contact for all banking relationships
Lead negotiations on loans, lines of credit, and other financing facilities
Manage existing debt/financing obligations and reporting requirements
Evaluate financing options and their impact on cash flow
Payroll & Operations
Oversee payroll processing and compliance across all entities and locations
Manage company-wide expense tracking and approval processes
Financial Reporting & Forecasting
Own the monthly close process and deliver KPI dashboards and reporting
Build financial models and forecasts across all three business lines (online, retail, café)
Compliance & Risk
Manage partnerships with external agencies who oversee multi-state sales tax compliance and filings across e-commerce, wholesale, and physical retail
Own insurance and risk management, including general liability, property, and business interruption coverage — particularly with the addition of a physical location
Coordinate with outside CPA/tax counsel on entity structure, quarterly estimates, and year-end tax planning
Systems & Infrastructure
Evaluate and manage the company's accounting and reporting systems (e.g., QuickBooks/NetSuite), including POS integration across retail and café and Shopify financial data
Café-Specific Financial Operations
Manage food cost/COGS tracking and perishable inventory accounting, distinct from jewelry inventory processes
Oversee health department and related compliance costs specific to the café operation
Required Qualifications
Minimum 7-10 years of progressive finance leadership experience, with demonstrated ownership of all responsibilities listed above at a comparably sized or larger company
Proven experience managing cash flow, budgets, and P&L for a multi-channel or multi-entity business (e.g., DTC + retail, or multi-brand)
Direct experience negotiating with banking partners and securing/managing loans or lines of credit
Experience managing vendor relationships and negotiating vendor agreements at scale
Strong command of gross margin and profitability analysis in a product-based business (retail, CPG, or similar)
Experience overseeing payroll for a company of similar size
Strongly Preferred
Experience in jewelry, fashion, beauty, or another high-SKU/inventory-intensive consumer brand
Experience managing finances across e-commerce, physical retail, and hospitality/F&B simultaneously
Experience with alternative financing structures (MCAs, asset-based lending) in addition to traditional bank debt
Exposure to growth equity, private equity, or M&A processes — either raising capital or supporting a transaction
Discover unique jewelry from emerging global designers that celebrate individuality and artistry at Local Eclectic.
