Junior Accountant

Junior Accountant 

Location: Palm Coast, Florida  |  In-Office

Reports To: CEO / Executive Team

Employment Type: Full-Time

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We Sell Restaurants is the nation's leading restaurant brokerage franchise brand, connecting entrepreneurs, operators, and investors in the buying and selling of restaurants across the country. Our growing franchise network demands financial operations that are precise, timely, and strategic.

We are seeking a motivated Junior Accountant to become an integral part of our finance team. In this role, you will own core accounting functions, support franchise financial reporting, and work directly alongside leadership to keep our financial engine running cleanly. If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and want your work to have real impact, this is the role for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Core Accounting

  • Coordinate with CPA on monthly P&L to ensure accuracy across all financial transactions
  • Support month-end and year-end close
  • Own documentation practices that keep financial records audit-ready at all times
  • Conduct quality review of business valuations prepared by junior team members, providing coaching and sign-off 
  • Lead valuation analysis on complex, multi-unit, and high-value restaurant transactions — including normalized earnings, EBITDA adjustments, and market-comparable assessments 
  • Present valuation findings and financial summaries to clients and internal stakeholders in a clear, defensible format.

Financial Reporting

  • Prepare internal reports and dashboards for executive review
  • Support monthly, quarterly, and annual report preparation
  • Track and analyze key financial metrics tied to brokerage activity and franchise performance

Franchise Accounting

  • Track franchise royalties, fees, and related revenue streams
  • Support franchise reporting cycles and reconciliation processes
  • Partner with internal teams to ensure franchise transactions are accurately recorded and classified

Compliance & Controls

  • Uphold accounting policies and internal controls across all processes
  • Prepare documentation and support external audit requests
  • Maintain organized, accessible records to meet regulatory and operational standards

Process Improvement

  • Identify inefficiencies and propose solutions to streamline accounting workflows
  • Contribute to the implementation and optimization of financial systems and reporting tools
  • Take on special financial analysis projects that support business decisions

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field
  • 2–3 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Solid understanding of GAAP principles and their practical application
  • Proficiency with accounting software and Microsoft Excel
  • Exceptional attention to detail, organizational discipline, and ability to manage competing priorities

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with franchise systems or multi-location business models
  • Familiarity with CRM or analytics platforms such as HubSpot or Zoho Analytics
  • Track record of supporting operational teams with financial insights and reporting

The Ideal Candidate Is

  • Analytically sharp — you find patterns in data and ask the right questions
  • Deadline-driven — month-end doesn't sneak up on you
  • Communicative — you translate numbers into clear, actionable information for non-finance stakeholders
  • A team player — you roll up your sleeves and collaborate across departments

WHY WE SELL RESTAURANTS

We're not just another accounting job. You'll be joining a nationally recognized brand at the intersection of entrepreneurship, real estate, and the restaurant industry. Our team is collaborative, driven, and deeply committed to helping clients achieve successful outcomes. We have been recognized by INC500 as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in America for three consecutive years. 

  • Direct impact — your work informs real business decisions every day
  • Growth potential — as we scale nationally, so does the scope of this role
  • Collaborative culture — you'll work closely with leadership, not in a back-office silo
