About the Company
Adamant Capital Inc. is a fast-growing e-commerce company focused on building and scaling consumer brands.
We operate in a highly entrepreneurial environment where decisions are made quickly, performance is measured closely, and finance plays an key role in determining how and where we invest for growth.
Our business involves significant investments across paid advertising, inventory, international manufacturing, fulfillment, and customer acquisition.

Who We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who combines the technical capabilities of a CPA with the commercial thinking of a finance leader.
You should be comfortable going from reviewing the accuracy of financial statements to building a cash-flow model, analyzing customer acquisition economics, and joining a call with a bank or supplier to discuss a multi-million-dollar financing or payment structure.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the business and wants to play a meaningful role in financial and strategic decision-making as the company grows.
