Accountant

Summary

Small Batch Standard is a remote accounting, tax, and consulting firm serving the craft brewing industry. The Brewery Accountant will lead outsourced accounting engagements for 7–14 brewery clients, managing monthly closes, client communication, tax filings, bookkeeping coordination, and collaboration with internal teams.

Responsibilities

• **Own the monthly close** for 7–14 brewery clients: QBO, reconciliations, accruals, payroll, inventory, and final review
• Be the main accounting point of contact for your clients, answering questions and delivering high-level client service
• Coordinate with our Accounting Associates who handle much of the recurring bookkeeping
• Prepare and file sales and excise tax for a subset of your clients
• Work with our Compliance, Consulting, and Tax teams to ensure they have what they need from your work to do theirs well
• You’ll manage a mix of bookkeeping and accounting work for your clients, build productive relationships as the main accounting contact, and develop brewery-specific accounting knowledge and technical competency
• You’ll transition into primarily close and compliance work by building a solid process with our Associates, who handle most recurring bookkeeping. You’ll also execute brewery-specific work and client communication with minimal support and provide feedback to improve our accounting processes
• Your focus shifts almost exclusively to higher-level accounting and compliance, supported by rock-solid collaboration with Associates and our Compliance, Consulting, and Tax teams. You’ll handle complex client communication and troubleshooting independently and mentor new hires while driving meaningful process improvements across the team
