Accountants One is working with a QSR franchisee client looking to add a Senior Accountant to join a rapidly growing team. This client has ambitious plans to open dozens of new locations in the coming years. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented, analytical professional who enjoys variety in their work, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to be part of a collaborative, growth-focused team. With new locations opening each year, this is a prime opportunity to join a high-energy team and make a significant impact.

As Senior Accountant, you’ll be hands-on in all aspects of financial reporting and analysis — from preparing GAAP-compliant financial statements to partnering with operations leaders on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis. You’ll manage multi-state tax compliance, mentor one direct report, and help shape the financial processes that will scale with our rapid expansion.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare accurate and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in compliance with GAAP
• Conduct detailed variance analyses and identify trends, cost drivers, and opportunities for improvement across multiple locations
• Support budgeting and forecasting by providing historical analysis, trend models, and store-level profitability data
• Oversee all aspects of the month-end close process, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and intercompany transactions
• Maintain general ledger accuracy, ensure entries are supported, and adhere to internal controls and franchise standards
• Assist in maintaining and improving the chart of accounts and coding structures
• Monitor daily bank activity, prepare cash position reports, and resolve discrepancies
• Assist with cash flow forecasting to ensure payroll, vendor, and capital obligations are met
• Collaborate with operations to improve in-store cash handling and deposit processes
• Prepare and file multi-state sales & use tax, personal property tax, and real estate tax returns
• Manage escheatment (unclaimed property) compliance and maintain a tax compliance calendar
• Coordinate with external CPA firms on income tax filings and audits
• Lead and mentor one direct report, providing coaching and professional development
• Partner with operations leaders on financial matters related to new store openings, remodels, and labor optimization
• Drive process improvement initiatives, including automation, system enhancements, and improved financial workflows

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (CPA or CPA-track strongly preferred)
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience; multi-unit restaurant, retail, or franchise experience highly preferred
• Strong GAAP knowledge, financial reporting, month-end close, and reconciliation skills
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, complex formulas) and experience with ERP/accounting systems
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, growth-driven environment

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Brand Impact: Help grow an iconic brand into new markets
• Career Growth: Opportunities to advance as the company expands across multiple states
• Collaboration: Work alongside supportive leadership, finance, and operations teams
• High-Impact Role: Your work will directly influence strategic decisions, efficiency, and financial performance

If you’re ready to bring your accounting expertise to a thriving franchise operation with big plans for the future, we’d love to hear from you.
