Accounting Manager

Brewery Accounting Manager

Our mission is to help breweries make profit. And our team is filled with expert, autonomous, adaptable, high performers. Are you up for the challenge? We're looking for a full-time, remote Brewery Accounting Manager to join our specialized team. The main objective of this role is to lead your accounting team and client portfolio in accordance with the SBS values and mission.

About The Role

This role will report to our Director of Operations and is accountable for fulfilling the following responsibilities :

• Lead and develop your Accounting Team. Put simply, as a Manager at SBS, your success is measured by your team's success. This means that although you have a high level of accounting competency yourself, your main responsibility is to serve your team and clients. You'll interview, onboard, train, and develop the individual Accountants and Associates on your team so that they meet their goals and progress in their careers. This also means you'll be the go-to resource for solving problems and addressing issues, ensuring the lines of communication are open amongst the team, with clients, and with SBS Leadership.
• Oversee and manage your team's client portfolio. Aside from your team members, you'll also be responsible for onboarding new clients each month, as well as monitoring and managing your team's active client relationships. Your job is to ensure that each engagement runs smoothly, and that we are delivering on our service commitments to clients while keeping the engagement within scope. This will also include periodic contract review with the Leadership Team to ensure we are supporting our mission amongst all of our clients in an effective, profitable way.
• Review your team's Accounting Deliverables. You'll be responsible for reviewing each of your team's submitted Accounting Deliverables using our established review checklist, and providing team members with actionable feedback so that (a) we can maintain a high level of quality in the work we deliver to clients, and (b) our Accountants can improve their work and skill set over time.
• Flex to cover team workload where needed. Periodically, you'll need to take on a client or two yourself, either as a holdover from onboarding, to cover for someone who is out of the office, or during a transition period where your team is at capacity until we can resolve the workload constraint. It'll be under your and the Director of Operations' discretion to determine when, how, and how long you'll need to do this for.
• Own and improve your team's Scorecard. You'll be responsible for the overall performance Scorecard for your team. This means that it's your responsibility to initiate any adjustments and improvements that need to happen in order to bring the team's scorecard targets into range, as well as flag and escalate issues that are beyond the scope of your team in order to get them solved.
• Work with SBS Leadership. As an SBS Manager, you'll act both as a representative of your Accounting Team and as a key decision-maker for cross-functional integrations (i.e. with Consulting, Tax, and Brand as well as shared standards with the other Brewery Teams).
• Contribute to the overall success of our firm. Each week we share wins, progress, and knowledge, as well as identify and solve issues at multiple levels (company, team, individual). Your full participation in this process beyond your specific role is critical to ensure that we are operating as a cohesive, high-performance unit.
