Accounting Manager

Description

Here at Craftable, we create best-in-class technology for world-renowned bars and restaurants. We were founded back in 2015 in Silicon Valley by tech experts and hospitality industry veterans. Since then, we have brought the best to Texas for a warm southern twist! Our goal is to collaborate with restaurateurs, operators, and accountants to reduce labor costs, increase efficiency, and drive profit for our clients.

Our platform is built to accommodate operators from independent restaurateurs to regional and national chains.

The Accounting Manager owns the day-to-day accounting operations at Craftable and runs the monthly close. Reporting to the Controller, you will be responsible for close and financial reporting, revenue and subscription billing accounting, accounts payable and payroll, and the internal controls that support both. You will also coordinate our external audit and multi-jurisdiction tax filings and lead a senior accountant.

  • Use AI tooling to draft, test, and document these improvements, and help set sensible guardrails for how the accounting team uses it.
