Ensure compliance with sales tax, use tax, and other regulatory filings
Support audit preparation and year-end close with external accountants
Communicate regularly with restaurant managers to ensure financial accuracy and provide operational insights
Partner with operations leadership to bring ideas and data-driven recommendations that improve the business
Manage vendor relationships and communications, including payment inquiries and account reconciliations
Proactively identify opportunities to streamline workflows, improve internal controls, and incorporate AI and automation into accounting functions
Independently troubleshoot issues and develop solutions without waiting for direction

Experience with restaurant POS systems (Toast preferred) and AP platforms (Bill.com preferred)
Strong Excel skills and comfort with data analysis
Knowledge of GAAP and restaurant-specific accounting practices
Comfortable using AI tools to enhance productivity and improve accounting processes
Self-starter who takes ownership, solves problems independently, and holds themselves accountable
A genuine passion for the food & beverage industry
Strong interpersonal and communication skills — comfortable working with managers, vendors, and cross-functional teams
Highly organized with the ability to manage competing priorities across entities
Willingness to grow into a leadership role and eventually manage a team

Preferred Qualifications

Payroll processing experience (end-to-end payroll a strong plus)
Experience with 4-4-5 fiscal calendar reporting
Familiarity with Tripleseat, Cohesion, or Margin Edge
Experience with catering or event venue accounting

Pay: $75,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
