GAAP Compliance: Ensure all financial statements-including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports-are prepared in strict accordance with GAAP.

Team Management: Directly supervise and mentor accountants

Internal Controls & Audit: Design, implement, and maintain robust internal controls to safeguard assets and ensure the accuracy of financial data across multiple states.

Financial Systems: Continuously evolve our accounting tech stack to remove friction and increase reporting efficiency.

Tax & Regulatory: Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal tax regulations; coordinate with external firms for annual tax filings and audits.

Strategic Support: Partner with Operations and HR to provide financial guidance, budget variance analysis, and operational insights that drive profitability.

You'll be a great addition to the CYM team if you have:

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; Active CPA license is required.

Minimum of 8+ years of progressive financial experience, with 5+ years in a supervisory role. Experience in the restaurant, retail, or other high-growth environments preferred.

Expert-level knowledge of GAAP and GL accounting.

Proven track record of managing a full-cycle Month-End Close.

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting software, with the ability to work with large sets of data.

Experience managing and developing a team of accountants; ability to provide clear feedback and professional development.

High level of integrity, with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.

Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Proactive and self-motivated, with a continuous improvement mindset.

You'll love working at CYM because:

Base salary of $130k, annual bonus opportunity, and stock options

Exciting opportunities for growth and development! With CYM's continued expansion, this role offers a strong foundation to grow your leadership skills and take the next step in your career.

Great people, real support, and incredible VIBES. We're focused on a positive, people-first culture where everyone feels they belong and they're supported. You'll find a team that's welcoming, celebrates wins together, and most importantly, keeps things fun every day!

Great benefits (our team agrees!) Health, dental, and vision insurance (for full-time staff averaging 30+ hours/week), 4% employer match 401k, paid vacation, and paid parental leave, Employee Assistance Program, free Call Your Mother staff meals, free fitness and wellness classes, free English/Spanish classes and DuoLingo reimbursement, team building activities, and more.
