We are more than just restaurants—we’re a team that values collaboration, innovation, and growth. Whether you’re behind the counter, supporting operations, or helping our business run smoothly, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, contribute, and develop your career in a dynamic and supportive environment.

Join us and be part of a team that’s passionate about food, people, and creating memorable experiences every day.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands on, self motivated Accounting Associate to join our growing finance team. This role is ideal for someone with strong QuickBooks experience, solid accounting fundamentals, and a willingness to take ownership of their work.

You will be part of a fast growing organization where processes and systems continue to evolve. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working independently, takes initiative, and enjoys being part of a collaborative and energetic team.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform day to day accounting activities using QuickBooks
• Record and maintain accurate accounting transactions
• Prepare bank and account reconciliations
• Assist with month end and year end accounting activities
• Work with various departments to resolve accounting related questions and issues
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and systems
• Take on additional responsibilities as the organization grows

Qualifications and Skills

• Hands on experience with QuickBooks, particularly Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
• Strong understanding of basic accounting principles, debits, credits, and journal entries
• General understanding of financial statements
• Accounting diploma, Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal direction and follow up

The Person We Are Looking For

• A self starter who takes ownership and follows through
• Positive, energetic, friendly, and easy to work with
• Comfortable building relationships and working with people across different departments
• Flexible and adaptable as responsibilities and processes evolve
• Comfortable working in a fast growing environment where not everything is fully defined
• Someone who looks for solutions and gets things done rather than waiting for instructions

This is a role for someone who wants to grow with the company, not someone looking for a rigid job description. While the core responsibilities are clear, the role will naturally evolve as the organization continues to grow.

What We Offer

• Salary range of $60,000 to $65,000
