Senior Corporate Accountant

Senior Accountant

SUGARED + BRONZED has redefined airbrush tanning with a proprietary solution and reintroduced an all-natural, ancient Egyptian method of hair removal called sugaring. Our commitment is to deliver exceptional services in vibrant, welcoming spaces that elevate your experience and brighten your day.

Our goal is to give a skilled accountant more room to be one, not to replace judgment with a script. Automation is only as good as the person who knows what the output is supposed to look like, which is exactly why we want someone experienced building it. You have to be able to do the work by hand before automating it is a good idea.

So this is a hands-on accounting job. There is a payroll to run every week, a close to land on time every month, reconciliations that have to tie, and a rent calendar that doesn't forgive a missed date. Multi-location and multi-entity means volume: a lot of transactions, a lot of accounts, and a lot of detail that has to be right the first time.

A meaningful amount of that work is manual today, and some of it will stay manual. Automation is what we layer on once the fundamentals are solid. It is not a substitute for them, and it isn't the job. The job is owning the numbers.

The core of this role is what you'd expect from a strong senior accountant anywhere: careful, well-documented, on-time work, with support behind every balance and an explanation ready for every variance.

Responsibilities

• Payroll. Weekly, hourly and salaried, across every location. Timecard and PTO review, adjustments, the payroll journal entry, and the reconciliation behind it.
• Spend. Expense coordination through our spend management tools, including coding, receipt and approval follow-up, and month-end accruals.
• The close. Monthly and quarterly reconciliations, journal entries in QuickBooks Online, and GL maintenance across departments. Bank and credit card reconciliations, prepaids, accruals, and the balance sheet support behind them.
• Real estate finance. The rent calendar for every studio, plus lease obligation tracking and landlord charge review, so nothing slips and we don't pay something we don't owe.
• Audit and period-end. Schedules, tie-outs, and support that stand up to someone else checking them. The work that keeps us clean and moving quickly.
• Cross-functional work. You'll partner with Operations and Real Estate regularly. This isn't a role where you're heads-down in a spreadsheet by yourself.

Requirements

• 3 or more years of accounting experience, payroll and multi-location a plus
• Solid full-cycle accounting fundamentals: accruals, prepaids, journal entries, and reconciliations you can build and defend
• Real Excel / Google Sheets ability: formulas and structure, not just data entry
• A high bar for accuracy, and the ability to hit recurring deadlines without being chased
• Comfort with detail and volume. Some of this work is repetitive, and it still has to be right every time.
• Genuine curiosity about automation. This one's a real requirement, not a filler bullet.
• Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, preferred

Bonus But Not Required

• QuickBooks Online experience. It's what we run on, and we'll get you up to speed if you've worked in a comparable system.
• Rippling experience. We use it, it's a plus, and we'll teach you if you haven't.
• Any experience using AI tools, scripts, or automation in a finance context
• Multi-entity or retail accounting background

What We Offer

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Complimentary services and products (yes, the tanning and sugaring too)
• A team small enough that your ideas about how to do this better actually get built
