The opportunity
Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
What you'll do
Own end-to-end bookkeeping for a portfolio of pilot restaurant customers: chart of accounts setup, monthly close, bank/POS reconciliations, accruals, and delivery of clean financial statements.
Serve as Toast's in-house expert on restaurant-specific accounting: prime cost, COGS, labor and tip reporting, multi-unit consolidation, high-volume daily transaction reconciliation, and multi-jurisdiction sales tax.
Embed directly with product and engineering, translating real client: workflows and pain points into product requirements that shape our roadmap — you'll be in the room when we decide what to build next, not just told what shipped.
Design and document the SOPs, controls, and QA processes a bookkeeping: function needs to run reliably — since none of it exists yet, you'll build the foundation others will scale on.
Work directly with restaurant operators to understand their businesses, set: expectations, and deliver a service that earns their trust.
Help define what “great” looks like for this function as it grows, including: future hiring needs, tooling choices, and where automation should (and shouldn't) replace judgment.
What they're looking for
- Move fluidly between hands-on bookkeeping work and higher-leverage building: work as priorities shift — comfort wearing both hats is essential.
- +years of bookkeeping experience, with meaningful time spent on restaurant or: hospitality clients specifically.
- Deep working knowledge of restaurant accounting mechanics: COGS and prime cost, tip pooling and reporting, multi-location consolidation, and reconciling high-volume POS transaction data.
- Fluency with modern bookkeeping and accounting software, and genuine enthusiasm for adopting new tools.
