Bookkeeper / Accounting Manager 📍 South Atlanta Metro
About the Opportunity
A well-established, privately held multi-unit restaurant group with 30 years of operational history is seeking an experienced Bookkeeper / Accounting Manager to join their team. This organization has built a strong regional footprint operating dozens of locations and is known for stability, longevity, and a close-knit culture — evidenced by their outgoing team member's 29-year tenure.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a critical role with genuine ownership, modernize processes, and make a lasting impact on a growing operation.
What You'll Do
- Perform monthly bank reconciliations across multiple locations
- Own the full month-end close process
- Process payroll hands-on for the organization
- Supervise one Accounts Payable Clerk who handles store-level data entry
- Identify and implement automation opportunities to modernize accounting workflows and bring processes current with today's technology
- Serve as the primary accounting resource reporting directly to ownership
What They're Looking For
- 5+ years of bookkeeping or accounting management experience, ideally in multi-unit restaurant, retail, or hospitality environments
- Strong proficiency in bank reconciliations, month-end close, and payroll processing
- Experience supervising or mentoring accounting support staff
- A process-improvement mindset — someone who sees inefficiency and wants to fix it
- Comfortable working in a hands-on, lean accounting environment
- Familiarity with restaurant or multi-location accounting a strong plus
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary: $75,000 – $80,000 (flexibility for the right candidate)
- Annual performance bonus: up to 15%
- Group health insurance
- Dental insurance
- 401(k)
- Schedule flexibility after onboarding — open to a 4-day workweek or condensed hours across 5 days for the right candidate
Why This Role Stands Out
- Tenured, stable organization with 30 years in business
- Direct access to ownership and real decision-making authority
- Significant opportunity to modernize systems and automate — your ideas will be heard and implemented
- Schedule flexibility once you're established
- South Atlanta location — convenient to the airport corridor with easy highway access
