Accounting Manager

About the Role

As our Accounting Manager, you will take a leading role in financial accounting, reporting, and analysis for Cheers. As Cheers continues to evolve, you will manage its existing accounting and financial reporting procedures.Moreover, you will improve upon these procedures and build out new processes to bring increased automation, completeness, and accuracy to these areas. Finally, you will leverage the company’s financial data to help inform business decisions.

The role of Accounting Manager will involve becoming intimately familiar with all revenue/expense generating activities of the business. You will work closely with the COO at the outset to gain a bottom-up understanding of the various arms of the business and learn its fundamental accounting processes. As you take ownership of the existing procedures and start to master them, you will have the freedom to develop new tools and protocols to streamline data collection and bring efficiency where it’s lacking.From there, while you continue to optimize your accounting processes, you will begin to build out a suite of internal financial reports to help provide a more granular picture of company performance. 

Lastly, you will have help! Cheers partners with Wiss &Company’s WEST Growth program for early-stage companies. The services Wiss provides include monthly QuickBooks reconciliations and GAAP adjustments, CFO advisory services, and annual corporate tax filings.
