Accounting Manager

• We’re looking for an Accounting Manager to lead the day-to-day accounting function across all of our brands and entities.
• This is a working leadership role — you’ll review the work of 1–2 staff accountants while staying hands-on in the close, the financials, and the reconciliations yourself.
• Function as the senior accounting leader for the group: owning the period-end close, budgeting and forecasting, location and brand-level financials, keeping our multi-entity books clean, and serving as the financial backbone.
• Partner directly with the VP of Finance on reporting, controls, and process improvement as the group grows.
• Prepare consolidated, brand-level, and location-level P&Ls, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.
• Record and review journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and depreciation.
• Review and approve balance sheet reconciliations and maintain clean, audit-ready support, personally owning the most complex or sensitive accounts.
• Deliver timely variance analysis against budget and prior periods, with commentary operators can act on.
• Review fixed asset, lease (ASC 842), and capital project/pre-opening cost accounting prepared by the team.
• Assign and prioritize workloads across the close calendar to keep the team on schedule.
• Coach and develop the accounting team, and help build process and headcount as the group grows.
• Produce flash reporting and prime cost (food cost % + labor %) analysis by location.
• Own location- and brand-level P&L reporting distributed to operators, and the group’s KPI/management dashboards.
• Oversee daily sales reconciliation, tying POS reporting to bank deposits across all sites.
• Track and analyze COGS, food and beverage cost, and inventory in partnership with operations.
• Prepare the annual budget and periodic reforecasts in partnership with the VP of Finance.
• Own cash flow forecasting across entities.
• Manage daily cash positioning across entities and locations.
