Fractional Financial Controller
Pubblicato il 12-10-2026 - ERG Media in Milano
ERG Media is a luxury publishing house and creative agency operating at the intersection of automotive culture, design, and global brand storytelling. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Milan, we produce collectible coffee-table books, creative campaigns, and merchandise for clients including Porsche, Acqua di Parma, General Motors, Pirelli, and Bentley. Our retail platform, Type 7, extends this ethos into physical products and prints.
We are a multi-entity group with companies in Italy, the Netherlands, Japan and the US. We sell physical products as well as running creative client projects, and we need a qualified, hands-on financial controller to get our internal accounts and financial management in a really good place. Tax filings and statutory compliance stay with local advisors in each region. You will own everything underneath.
This is not a junior bookkeeping position. We need someone who can run a multi-entity, multi-currency, inventory-based business with minimal supervision and give our COO and founder reliable numbers to steer the business.
What you will do
• Own the monthly close across the group, with clear cut-offs and intercompany balances reconciled first.
• Run bank, card, Shopify and Stripe payout reconciliations, AP/AR and expense controls across entities and currencies (EUR, USD, JPY, GBP).
• Own inventory valuation, landed costs and cost of goods sold for book print runs and retail stock, including reconciliation of third-party warehouse and wholesale costs.
• Build project and client profitability reporting for our creative engagements (production, travel, freelance fees).
• Deliver a clear monthly management pack, with cash and liquidity forecasting, to the COO and founder.
• Maintain the group chart of accounts and cost-centre logic, and help us choose the right reporting and consolidation tools.
• Be the first point of contact for our external accountants and tax advisors in each region, and keep their scope lean and well defined.
