Job Description
Restaurant Bookkeeper - Salary: $65,000
- Location: Washington, DC
- Schedule: Five-day workweek | 9:00 AM-5:00 PM | Choose Saturday OR Sunday to work + choose one weekday off | Mondays required
- Office: 100% onsite | Paid parking
- Location: Washington, DC - 100% in-office | One weekend day per week required (Saturday or Sunday) | Paid parking
Why This Opportunity Stands Out: - Not your typical sit-in-a-cubicle-all-day accounting job. You'll have your own office and plenty of independence, but you'll also be part of the day-to-day energy of a busy restaurant.
- Be the go-to accounting person onsite. You'll own the bookkeeping function at the location while having support from an established corporate accounting team.
- Work directly with leadership. The role reports to the CFO, with an onsite General Manager available for day-to-day support.
- Join a company where people stay. Employees have built careers here spanning 20, 30 and even 40 years - a great indicator of the stability and culture of the organization.
- You'll be trusted to own your work. This is a great fit for someone who likes independence but still wants a team to turn to when needed.
- Restaurant experience is a plus, not a dealbreaker. If you have a strong bookkeeping/accounting foundation and can learn the restaurant side, they're open to talking.
- Paid parking in Washington, DC!
- Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k), PTO and paid sick leave .
- There is room to build a long-term career with an established hospitality organization that is open to growth opportunities as they arise.
Key Responsibilities: - Serve as the primary onsite Bookkeeper/accounting resource for the restaurant.
- Prepare weekly payroll information for employees, including reviewing hours, timecards and tips for accuracy.
- Submit payroll information, new hires and employee changes to the corporate payroll team for processing.
- Coordinate new-hire onboarding and employee documentation.
- Enter and review daily sales information.
- Handle invoice entry and follow up on missing or outstanding invoices.
- Assist with cash activity, deposits and related reporting.
- Prepare recurring daily, weekly and monthly reports.
- Work directly with restaurant managers to resolve payroll, invoice and accounting questions.
- Keep financial and employee records accurate, organized and on schedule.
- Partner with the corporate accounting team for additional accounting support and reconciliations.
Qualifications: - Previous hands-on bookkeeping, accounting or related financial experience.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
- Comfortable learning and working in multiple software systems.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Organized and able to manage recurring deadlines independently.
- Strong communication skills and comfortable interacting with employees and managers throughout the restaurant.
- Comfortable being the sole onsite bookkeeping/accounting person.

- Able to work a five-day, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM schedule, including Mondays and your choice of Saturday or Sunday .
If you're a Bookkeeper who likes numbers but also likes people, this could be a refreshing change from the traditional accounting-office environment. You'll have your own space, ownership of your work, interaction with the operation, and the backing of an experienced corporate accounting team.
