Finance Manager

About the Role

As Finance Manager, you will take a leading role in the financial accounting, reporting, forecasting, and compliance 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. Lastly, you will leverage the company’s financial data and positioning to help inform business decisions.

The role of Finance Manager will involve becoming intimately familiar with all revenue/expense generating activities of the business. You will work closely with the VP of Operations at the outset to gain a bottom-up understanding of the various arms of the business. From there, you will develop protocols with each respective department to streamline financial data collection. Moreover, as Cheers pursues new business initiatives, such as retail expansion, you will play an active role in developing the frameworks and systems by which we account for and measure the financial impact of these initiatives.

Lastly, 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. As Finance Manager, the Wiss team will support you in each of these areas and handle a portion of the associated recurring tasks.

The Finance Manager will report directly to the Vice President of Operations.
