Job description

At Food People Restaurant Group, we believe great restaurants start with great people. Our culture is strong, the hospitality industry is never boring (literally never), and the accounting team? Fun, sharp, and genuinely supportive.

• Managing vendor relationships and fielding questions
• Reconciling statements and resolving discrepancies
• Keeping approvals and documentation organized
• Assisting with month-end close

• A collaborative, inclusive team that actually supports each other
