This position will help develop and maintain processes and best practices, and ensure financial systems operate efficiently in collecting, analyzing, and reporting information.

Key Responsibilities

• Own capital expenditure and fixed-asset accounting for the bakery portfolio, including additions, disposals, depreciation, and the fixed-assets subledger.


• Track and report new bakery openings — capitalizing build-out costs and reporting capital spend against budget for each new location.


• Account for capitalized software and internal capitalized labor, ensuring costs are capitalized and amortized in line with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and company policy.


• Manage repairs and maintenance accounting, applying the capitalization policy to distinguish expensed R&M from capital improvements.

• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and practical application of technical accounting.


• Experience working cross-functionally and handling multiple stakeholders and workstreams simultaneously.


• Strong communication and presentation skills — the ability to tell a story and not just report out numbers and results.


• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment, with tight timelines, iteration, and results-driven mindset.


• Experience with Workday ERP and inventory management systems, a plus.

SWEET POSITION PERKS:

• Rich opportunity to shape the accounting team, set the tone, and drive discipline.


• Competitive salary + bonus + benefits + equity.


• A fun, entrepreneurial, and cookie-filled culture.


• Free cookies, branded swag and so much more!
