Restaurant Accountant

Description

 Someburros has been family-owned since 1986, built on the belief that we're at our best when we treat our team like Familia. That's not a slogan here. It shows up in how we train people, how we promote from within, and how we're working toward being the most loved restaurant in Arizona. As we grow past 20 locations and take on new partnerships like our work with the Arizona Diamondbacks, we're looking for a Restaurant Accountant who wants to build something with us, not just process numbers for us.

Why Someburros?

• Family-owned culture with the opportunity to build something special as we grow and scale
• A team that invests in your development and celebrates taking on new challenges, with real room to grow into broader accounting or operations roles as the company expands
• Collaborative, solutions-oriented team that values initiative and ownership
• Exposure to diverse accounting work across restaurants, commissary accounting, and special events like stadium concessions

Overview

Someburros is a family-owned restaurant group with over 20 locations and multiple stadium concession partnerships. Built on entrepreneurial spirit, accountability, and a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to problem solving, we're looking for a Restaurant Accountant ready to make a positive impact across our restaurants as we grow and scale.
