Job description

Restaurant Bookkeeper

• Salary: $65,000
• Location: Washington, DC – 100% in-office | One weekend day per week required (Saturday or Sunday) | Paid parking

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Not your typical sit-in-a-cubicle-all-day accounting job. You’ll have your own office and plenty of independence, but you’ll also be part of the day-to-day energy of a busy restaurant.
• Be the go-to accounting person onsite. You’ll own the bookkeeping function at the location while having support from an established corporate accounting team.
• Work directly with leadership. The role reports to the CFO, with an onsite General Manager available for day-to-day support.
• Join a company where people stay. Employees have built careers here spanning 20, 30 and even 40 years – a great indicator of the stability and culture of the organization.
• You’ll be trusted to own your work. This is a great fit for someone who likes independence but still wants a team to turn to when needed.
• Restaurant experience is a plus, not a dealbreaker. If you have a strong bookkeeping/accounting foundation and can learn the restaurant side, they’re open to talking.
• Paid parking in Washington, DC!
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k), PTO and paid sick leave.
• There is room to build a long-term career with an established hospitality organization that is open to growth opportunities as they arise.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary onsite Bookkeeper/accounting resource for the restaurant.
• Prepare weekly payroll information for employees, including reviewing hours, timecards and tips for accuracy.
• Submit payroll information, new hires and employee changes to the corporate payroll team for processing.
• Coordinate new-hire onboarding and employee documentation.
• Enter and review daily sales information.
• Handle invoice entry and follow up on missing or outstanding invoices.
• Assist with cash activity, deposits and related reporting.
• Prepare recurring daily, weekly and monthly reports.
• Work directly with restaurant managers to resolve payroll, invoice and accounting questions.
• Keep financial and employee records accurate, organized and on schedule.
• Partner with the corporate accounting team for additional accounting support and reconciliations.

Qualifications:

• Previous hands-on bookkeeping, accounting or related financial experience.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
• Comfortable learning and working in multiple software systems.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Organized and able to manage recurring deadlines independently.
• Strong communication skills and comfortable interacting with employees and managers throughout the restaurant.
• Comfortable being the sole onsite bookkeeping/accounting person.
• Able to work 100% onsite in Washington, DC.
• Able to work one weekend day each week — Saturday or Sunday.

If you’re a Bookkeeper who likes numbers but also likes people, this could be a refreshing change from the traditional accounting-office environment. You’ll have your own space, ownership of your work, interaction with the operation, and the backing of an experienced corporate accounting team.
