Beachcomber Hot Tubs Operations Controller

Beachcomber is experiencing exciting new growth and we are at the cusp of a total company renovation or transformation to become a leading world employer. As such, we have a very exciting opportunity for a talented and passionate Operations Controller. This is a new role in which you will train/mentor under the CFO in all aspects of the business and you’ll be the CFO’s natural successor.

Our founder and owner, Keith Scott, is the Finance team’s greatest supporter. He whole-heartedly believes and holds the following statement from Verne Harnish’s in the highest regard “Most entrepreneurs undervalue-and understaff- their finance department, viewing it as a necessary evil to keep the tax collectors at bay, issue and pay invoices, and provide monthly accounting statement. Big mistake. “Hire a sophisticated pro who can gather the granular data that you need to see where you’re making money by product, customer, location, or salesperson. It’s the quickest way to double profits and cash flow in a year.”

This is a great opportunity for a strong professional finance leader looking for a career opportunity with outstanding growth potential.
