OVERVIEW:

This role serves as a crucial link between Accounts Payable (AP) and Financial Planning &

Analysis (FP&A), focusing on detailed expenditure validation and budget control for corporate

and development departments. The Data Analyst will be responsible for meticulously

reviewing department spending against budget, analyzing invoices and expense trends,

ensuring compliance, and providing minor forecasting. This hands-on analytical position sits

within the FP&A team, applying industry knowledge to optimize non-operational costs for a

high-growth restaurant brand.


RESPONSIBILITIES:

● Conduct detailed review and validation of departmental invoices, receipts, and

expense reports, comparing actual spending to approved budgets.

● Focus on validating expenses and spending trends across key budgets, including IT,

Marketing, Design, Construction, and New Store Openings.

● Analyze spending trends across departments and perform variance analysis to

identify and investigate potential discrepancies or opportunities for cost optimization.

● Perform minor forecasting related to departmental expense run-rates, capital

expenditures, and new store opening budgets.

● Ensure the integrity of expense data used for reporting by reconciling transactional

detail between AP records and the FP&A planning system.

● Collaborate with department heads and finance staff to communicate findings,

provide expense management recommendations, and streamline budget tracking

processes.

● Apply knowledge of hospitality and restaurant financial dynamics (e.g., unit

economics, operational vs. corporate spend) to provide contextualized spending

analysis.

● Assist in ad-hoc analysis and data requests for special projects as needed by the

finance leadership team.


REQUIREMENTS:

● Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related analytical field.

● 3-5 years of progressive experience in an analytical, finance, or accounting role,

preferably with exposure to the restaurant or hospitality industry.

● Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience with financial/ERP systems (e.g.,

Restaurant365 (R365), Toast, Netsuite).

● Proven ability to conduct detailed expense validation, transactional review, and

variance analysis.

● Exceptional detail orientation and organizational skills, with the capacity to manage

and interpret large sets of transactional data.

● Strong communication skills, capable of translating complex expense data and

compliance findings to non-financial stakeholders.


BENEFITS:

● Health & Wellness – Medical, Dental & Vision
