Job description

Remote-Based | Boston/New England Preferred | $160K–$180K Base + 20–25% Bonus

This is a high-impact finance leadership opportunity with a growing, acquisitive restaurant investment and operating platform. We're looking for someone who enjoys a broad scope of responsibilities across external audits, accounting oversight, FP&A, and finance operations, with direct visibility to ownership and senior leadership. You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of a wide range of finance responsibilities while leading two excellent, high-performing FP&A professionals who are already strong in their day-to‑day responsibilities. The emphasis is on leadership, mentorship, and professional development rather than managing their daily workload.

The position is remote‑based, with periodic in‑person collaboration around Boston. Compensation includes a competitive base salary and 20–25% annual performance bonus, with total target compensation reaching approximately $225K.

What this role will own:

• Lead multiple annual financial statement audits across operating entities, managing external auditor relationships, audit preparation, and coordination of supporting resources
• Provide accounting and financial reporting oversight across the portfolio, working with internal and external accounting resources to ensure accuracy, consistency, and accountability
• Lead and mentor two high‑performing FP&A analysts, providing guidance, professional development, and support as they continue advancing their careers
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and management reporting, while partnering with leadership on business performance and financial decisions
• Work directly with senior leadership and restaurant operators on a broad range of finance, accounting, and operational matters, including support for acquisitions and new business integrations
• Help improve financial processes, audit readiness, and reporting infrastructure as the organization continues to grow
• Take ownership of special projects and ad hoc business needs beyond traditional accounting and finance responsibilities

Ideal background:

• 8+ years of progressive experience across accounting, audit, controllership, or finance leadership
• Strong accounting foundation, particularly experience managing external audits and working with auditors across multiple entities
• Experience working across multiple businesses or within operationally complex, transaction‑heavy environments
• Demonstrated leadership skills, with an interest in coaching, mentoring, and developing talented finance professionals
• CPA or public accounting background preferred, but not required
• Exposure to FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis is beneficial, although accounting experience is the greater priority
• Restaurant, hospitality, franchise, or multi‑unit experience is a plus, but not required
• Based in Boston or the broader New England region, with flexibility to attend in‑person meetings around Boston more frequently during onboarding and approximately 1–2 times monthly thereafter

This is an excellent opportunity for a finance and accounting leader who wants more variety, meaningful ownership, excellent direct reports, and direct exposure to senior leadership within a growing business. Ideal for someone who enjoys working across different areas of finance rather than being limited to one specialized function.
