Primary Responsibilities

This role will be varied and have a broad scope of responsibility, but if we were to narrow it down to four major categories, they would be:

1. Manage several Staff and Senior Bookkeepers, assuming full responsibility for their training, work assignments, scheduling and performance
2. Manage ongoing client engagements and individual project-based work in which we serve as a contract Controller or CFO
3. Deliver timely and accurate financial reports in a large ERP software (Orchestrated Beer)
4. Onboard new clients, develop relationships, document high-level monthly procedures, and eventually turn those clients over to subordinate bookkeepers

Our ideal candidate is a team leader who is a CPA, has worked at a public accounting firm within the last 10 years and/or supervised a client accounting team. They would also have brewery/beverage finance experience and be excited about the craft beverage industry. Bonus points if the person is familiar with Orchestrated Beer, but we would at least like to see some experience with an ERP like SAP Business One. No brewery experience, but passionate about craft beverage? Lucky for you, manufacturing finance experience transfers nicely.

Does this sound like the right opportunity for you?
