We’re Banditos, your new favorite Mexi-Can lager. Born from a 4AM idea and brewed with rogue spirit, we’re not just making beer we’re building a movement. We challenge the status quo, defy convention, and live for what’s great in life. Our team is a mix of brewers, creatives, strategists, and service pros, all united by one mission: to shake up the beer world with golden smooth liquid and a legendary brand story.

We’re looking for an Accounting Manager who’s as bold with numbers as we are with hops. You’ll be the financial backbone of our fast-growing operation, keeping us compliant, efficient, and ready to scale. You’ll lead with precision, but you’ll also bring the kind of entrepreneurial fire that thrives in a start-up that’s rewriting the rules.

Your Day To Day

• Prepare and submit all required beer and liquor tax filings and payments.
• Produce regular financial deliverables, including weekly sales reports, inventory analyses, month-end commentary, product profitability reviews, and updates on outstanding receivables.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling; maintain and optimize finance systems (QuickBooks, Ekos, etc.) by partnering with external vendors to automate workflows and reduce manual effort.
• Collaborate with the brewmaster on inventory control and production planning, monitoring beer production and stock levels to anticipate needs based on sales and consumption trends.
• Review current financial processes, recommend improvements, and lead the implementation of policies and system changes to ensure compliance, scalability, and operational efficiency.
• Assist with audit preparation and maintain robust internal controls; ensure all finance activities comply with company policies and regulatory requirements.
• Identify operational gaps, anticipate future needs (e.g., production scheduling), and proactively communicate recommendations to leadership.
• Embrace a fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture: demonstrate flexibility, initiative, assertiveness in feedback, and ownership of evolving responsibilities.
• Research and recommend potential external employee benefit partners
• Perform other related duties as required
