About Us

We are a well-established and growing precious metals wholesaler with multi-entity operations across Colorado, New York, and additional locations. With approximately 100 employees and a reputation for integrity and innovation, we are a recognized leader in the industry, operating at the center of the gold bullion market.

As we expand into new business lines, we are investing heavily in technology, automation, and data-driven finance. Our strength lies in combining the stability of an established business with the energy of a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. For the right leader, this is a rare opportunity to join a company that is both rooted in a legacy-rich industry and actively shaping the future of precious metals.

The Role
The Vice President of Accounting & Finance will be a senior leader and hands-on builder responsible for driving the financial operations, controls, and strategy of our business. Reporting directly to the CEO, this role blends corporate discipline with entrepreneurial drive. You’ll oversee accounting, treasury operations, compliance, and reporting while building scalable systems and processes that eliminate manual touchpoints and deliver measurable ROI.

This is not a maintenance role — it’s a builder-operator position where you’ll roll up your sleeves to design, implement, and optimize the frameworks, dashboards, and accountability systems that ensure financial health, capital efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Automation, AI, and process improvement are foundational to your success.

More importantly, this is not just another accounting and finance job — it’s a rare, career-defining opportunity to join a unique, industry-leading company at the center of the global gold market. You’ll have a direct hand in shaping how a modern accounting and finance organization operates in one of the world’s most valuable and enduring industries, combining accounting, finance, technology, and team leadership in a role that is both entrepreneurial and high impact. We offer competitive compensation, a collaborative culture, and the chance to be part of something truly transformative in the world of precious metals.

What You’ll Do

• Improve Accounting Processes – This is a newly created position in the organization.  While it is a senior executive-level role, it will also be very hands-on in the design, development, implementation, and ongoing fulfillment of the many responsibilities outlined.  The initial focus of the role will be to review, streamline, and improve the current accounting, monthly closing, and financial reporting processes to ensure timely and accurate financial results.
• Lead Strategic Finance – Drive the annual budget, rolling forecasts, and long-term planning process, ensuring financial strategies align with company growth goals.
• Build Scalable Systems – Design and implement automation-first processes, dashboards, and reporting frameworks that replace manual work with technology, ensuring scalability without proportional growth in headcount.
• Treasury & Liquidity Management – Oversee daily cash flow, margin management, and liquidity planning, providing clear visibility into working capital and covenant compliance.
• Hedging Accountability – Collaborate with the trading team to develop auditable systems that reconcile hedges, margin balances, and physical inventory, ensuring accuracy and risk control.
• Inventory Optimization – Monitor turnover, valuation, and carrying costs while building financial models that connect inventory strategies to profitability and cash flow.
• Compliance & Risk Oversight – Strengthen AML programs, manage multi-state sales tax reporting, and ensure audit readiness with robust, technology-enabled controls.
  Performance Reporting – Deliver timely insights through executive dashboards, variance analyses, and KPI tracking, turning data into actionable recommendations.
• Cross-Functional Partnering – Work closely with trading, operations, and logistics teams to align financial systems with business needs, ensuring finance supports—not slows—growth.
• Vendor & Procurement Oversight – Implement cost controls and vendor financing strategies that maximize working capital efficiency.
• Leadership & Team Development – Recruit, coach, and scale a high-performing accounting and finance team, instilling accountability, integrity, and a culture of continuous improvement.

Who You Are

• Hands-on – You review current processes, identify issues & bottlenecks, and roll up your sleeves to collaborate with your team to implement fast, streamlined solutions.
