Remote Assistant Management Accountant Jobs

The role

MCD Mateos is a McDonald's franchise group with 59 restaurants. We're building a finance function that does more than keep the books: it explains what's driving results and helps operators act on it.

As our Management Accountant, you'll own the numbers behind restaurant and group performance — month-end, P&L analysis, cost tracking and reporting — and you'll reach well beyond that. When something in the numbers looks off, you're the person who goes and finds out why. You'll report to the Finance Director.

Location: Remote · Type: Full-time · Reports to: Finance Director

Who we're looking for

This isn't a role with a fixed checklist. We want someone energetic and curious, who would rather chase down an answer than wait to be told what to do next.

You'll be a good fit if you:

• Spot a variance and want to know the story behind it, not just report it

• Ask "why?" and "what if?" — then go and test it in the data

• Take a vague question from an operator and turn it into a clear, useful answer

• See a manual, clunky process and fix it without being asked

• Are comfortable working on several things at once in a fast-moving, multi-site business

• Enjoy getting out of the spreadsheet and talking to restaurant teams

What you'll do

• Month-end close: prepare journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations

• Restaurant P&Ls: produce location-level P&Ls; dig into variances in food & paper, labor, controllables and occupancy

• Performance insight: build reporting and KPIs that show operators and leadership what's driving results across the 59 restaurants

• Budgets and forecasts: support the annual budget and rolling forecasts, and track actuals against them

• Cost and margin analysis: find savings opportunities, test supplier and vendor spend, and model the impact of pricing, menu or staffing changes

• Controls and process: help strengthen financial controls, approval workflows and policies, and automate manual reporting where you can

• Ad hoc investigations: take on the open-ended questions — "why did this store's margin drop?", "what would it cost to…?" — and come back with answers

• Business partnering: work with operations, HR, maintenance and other teams so the numbers make sense to the people who use them

What you'll bring

• A degree in accounting, finance or a related field (or equivalent experience)

• 1–3 years' experience in accounting or finance; management accounting, FP&A or audit exposure is a bonus

• A working knowledge of GAAP, journals and balance sheet reconciliations

• Strong Excel skills — pivot tables, lookups, and building clean, reusable reports

• The ability to explain financial results clearly to non-finance people

• A self-starter mindset: you take ownership, follow problems through and don't need step-by-step direction

• Accuracy and attention to detail, even when moving quickly

Nice to have

• Restaurant365 (R365) experience — a strong plus, as it's our accounting system

• Proficiency with Claude (or similar AI tools) — using it to analyze data, speed up reporting and find answers faster

• Experience in restaurants, QSR, hospitality or another multi-site business

• Familiarity with T-Sheets or payroll and time-tracking data

• Experience with reporting or data visualization tools for building dashboards and automating reports

• Interest in working toward a CPA, CMA or equivalent qualification

What we offer

• A role with real ownership and visibility with the Finance Director and leadership

• Hands-on mentoring and room to grow your skills and career

• The chance to shape a finance function that's actively being built out

• Variety — no two weeks look the same across a 59-restaurant group

• Salary: $70,000–$75,000

• Benefits: Healthcare
