We’re the premier, remote accounting, tax, and consulting firm built exclusively to serve the craft brewing industry.

Our mission is to help craft breweries grow profits and build deep successful relationships. And our team is filled with expert, autonomous, adaptable, technology-driven high performers.

Are you up for the challenge?

We're looking for a full-time, remote Brewery Accounting Associate to join our specialized team. The main objective of this role is to support the day-to-day bookkeeping needs of our brewery clients in accordance with the SBS Core Values.

About The Role

This role will report to our Brewery Accounting Manager and is accountable for fulfilling the following responsibilities:

• AP processing in Bill.com and Quickbooks Online. In the primary function of this role, you’ll work alongside the Brewery Accountants on your team to process all inbound invoices, receipts, credit memos, and other documentation for our brewery clients.
• QBO Banking screen transaction processing. Additionally, you’ll be responsible for processing the banking screen in QBO for your brewery clients each week. This includes but is not limited to: matching transactions, entering payroll, and maintaining both bank and POS syncs.
• Some full monthly close work. As you progress and learn, you’ll have the opportunity to take on full monthly close responsibility for some of our clients under the direction of your manager and your Brewery Accountant teammates. This includes but is not limited to: reconciliation, accruals, sales and excise tax filing prep, journal entry adjustments, and monthly close final review.
• Participate and contribute to the overall success of our team. Each week the team meets to share wins, progress, and knowledge, as well as identify and solve issues at multiple levels (company, team, individual). Your full participation in this process is critical to ensure that we are operating as a cohesive, high-performance unit.

About You

We’re looking for an individual who:

• Enjoys consistency and finds no task too small. You’ll be working with a regular set of clients week-in and week-out, anticipating needs and enjoying a consistent workflow. From matching receipts to reconciling daily sales, you understand the importance of every detail and embrace each aspect of this essential support role with diligence and professionalism.
• Embraces technology and learning. Rather than someone with a specialized skill set or a long resume of accomplishments, the person who is the best fit for this role is, at their core, someone who embraces new challenges, has an open mind, and is growth oriented. Where you may lack experience, you make up for it with determination, a willingness to learn, and the ability to seamlessly navigate technology and processes once you have the basics down.
• Is an organized manager of one and a team player. You’re an expert at autonomous time management, routines, organization and the ability to communicate effectively with our clients. You take ownership in what you do, deliver on your commitments independently, but are also an enthusiastic participant in our team dynamic.

About Our Culture

We’re fully remote, with team members and clients located all across the U.S. and have developed our own unique culture we call The SBS Way, within which we operate, evaluate performance, and make decisions using our core values as a guide:

• Be Antifragile. Everything we do, good or bad, makes us better. And every experience is an opportunity for learning and continuous improvement.
• Play The Long Game. We make decisions, to the best of our ability, in the long-term interest of our firm, our team, our clients, and our broader industry and community.
• Embrace Technology. We welcome new technologies with open arms, and are always exploring, testing, and implementing them in the interest of enhancing both our internal capabilities and our client’s outcomes.
• Build and Trust The Process. Each member of the team is committed to building, following, and improving the processes we use to deliver exceptional results for our clients.
• Act as A Team of Expert Knowledge Workers. We openly and willingly collaborate, communicate, and provide rapid, direct feedback in the interest of learning, improving and developing ourselves.

In this respect, we measure and manage to our deliverable performance metrics and ensure each team member takes ownership over their accomplishment with a high level of quality that aligns with our core values

• Performance Bonuses. In addition to the base salary compensation for each role, individuals who go above and beyond to achieve a higher level of productivity and contribution to our goals are encouraged to participate in our performance bonus incentive.
• Merit-based career progression. We have clearly established career tracks, performance benchmarks, and mastery levels set for all of our core positions. How quickly you progress is entirely under your control, with a quarterly review and bi-annual promotion consideration cycle in place to evaluate your progress.
• Generous benefits. We offer a generous benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance enrollment; as well as an IRA match, tech stipend, 3 weeks of paid time off, and parental leave.
• Personal and and team development. In addition to our overall continuous learning focus, we also provide support for personal development in the form of expense coverage for continuing education (books, courses, training, certifications, etc.) as well as experiential learning (brewery visits, industry events and conferences, etc.).
