Restaurant/hospitality/retail industry preferred. Focus on assisting with managing financial operations.

Ability to lead an accounting department and work well with others; great at developing people and helping them achieve their goals.

This is a “hands-on” role with a solid work ethic. This is not a ‘work remote or hybrid’ position. We need you on deck.

5+ years of accounting and finance experience, including month-end/year-end close process.

Thorough knowledge and understanding of GAAP and financial statements.

CPA or CMA preferred. Excellent benefits & competitive salary.

Asking for advice – There is an art in asking for advice and maybe these tips will help.

Call during normal business hours. Ask if it’s a good time to talk.

Once you’ve got my attention – LISTEN. Stop talking and start listening and write down the advice I’m giving. I can’t tell you how many people don’t take notes and then expect me to repeat myself again when they call back days later. There is nothing wrong with taking notes – take them!

Be humble, gracious, and polite.

If you don’t like the advice, don’t argue with me about it. You asked – I gave you my opinion. Take it and use it or don’t use it. Or just use what works for you – it’s your job search.

Don’t assume I’m a miracle worker – it’s you who must do the hard work finding a job. Most people don’t get placed by a recruiter -they have to find their own job.
