Expert E-commerce Bookkeeper Needed (Shopify + A2X + Inventory/COGS for Jewelry Brand)

Hi, I’m the founder a minimalist jewelry brand. Our structure is evolving from a single Virginia LLC into a complex multi-entity architecture involving a Wyoming Holding Company and an Asset Protection Trust in future. If you think A2X is just a “plug-and-play” tool, or if you’ve never managed intercompany transfers between a subsidiary and a holding trust, this role isn't for you. I need a meticulous expert who understands the heartbeat of e-commerce AND the legal weight of the Corporate Veil. What You’ll Be Doing: • A2X & Shopify Integration: Perfecting the flow from Shopify to QuickBooks/Xero, ensuring every payout is reconciled to the cent. • Inventory & COGS (Luxury Focus): Managing inventory for high-value raw materials (gold, diamonds, gemstones) and manufacturing costs. • Multi-Entity & Trust Accounting: Managing the books for a Virginia Operating LLC owned by a Wyoming Holding LLC/Trust. You must ensure perfect Asset Segregation and record intercompany transfers (Due to/Due from) with surgical precision. • Corporate Veil Protection: Maintaining strict separation between personal and business finances to ensure our asset protection structure remains impenetrable. • Sales Tax & Nexus: Keeping us compliant across states, specifically managing the relationship between VA (Physical Nexus) and WY (Legal Situs). • Financial Reporting: Monthly P&L and Balance Sheets that provide clarity for both the brand’s growth and the Trust's compliance. Who You Are: • Manufacturing vs. Resale: You understand how to value raw materials and work-in-progress (WIP) in a jewelry manufacturing context. • Multi-Entity Pro: You have experience with Parent-Subsidiary structures and Trust accounting. • Proactive & Meticulous: You find errors in the audit trail before I do. • A2X Master: You know how to handle complex Shopify settlements. • Compliance-Minded: You understand that "messy books" mean "lost legal protection." Why Work With Us: We are a growing luxury brand focusing on quality and long-term partnership. You won't just be "doing the books"; you will be a key architect of our financial foundation and asset protection strategy. 📌 Application Filter: Start your cover letter with the word “FORTRESS” and answer these three questions: 1.
