POSITION OVERVIEW:Treasury is the day-one priority. You'll take the keys to our liquidity forecasting, banking infrastructure and lender relationships, then build a scalable tax function underneath. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can model a 13-week cash flow in the morning, walk a lender through covenant headroom after lunch, and untangle a composite return before the late-night cookie rush. You'll partner daily with the CFO, Controller, FP&A, Operations, Growth and our external advisors.
WHAT YOU'LL OWNTreasury: Keeping the Dough Rising (Day-One Priority)- Own the 13-week cash flow end to end. Build and maintain a driver-based weekly forecast. Gather and validate cash inputs from AP, payroll, rent, new-bakery construction, capex, debt service and bakery receipts. Deliver weekly actual-vs-forecast variance analysis with a clear "why" behind every material swing.
- Daily cash positioning and liquidity management across a 350+ bakery footprint, including depository concentration, sweeps, minimum-liquidity targets and intercompany funding.
- Receipts integrity. Make sure card-processor, third-party delivery, e-commerce, gifting and catering settlements land on time and in full. Reconcile them and chase breaks. Benchmark and negotiate processing fees.
- Debt advisory and lender relationship management. Be a trusted counterpart to our bank group. Prepare lender reporting packages, covenant compliance calculations and compliance certificates. Manage debt draws and repayments, and model covenant headroom under multiple scenarios.
- Capital structure support. Partner with the CFO on financing initiatives, interest-rate risk and hedging strategy, and debt-capacity analysis for growth.
- Bank administration and execution. Open and close accounts as bakeries open and close. Handle KYC and documentation, signatory and authorization matrices, online-banking entitlements and wire and ACH execution. Run payment-fraud controls such as positive pay, ACH blocks and callback protocols.
- Bank fee and relationship optimization. Review account analysis statements, rationalize the account structure and run banking RFPs when warranted.
- Policy and automation. Write and maintain cash management and investment policies. Drive treasury automation within our ERP and banking platforms. Manage CAD/GBP cash needs for our Canadian and UK bakeries.
Tax: Rendering Unto Caesar (and Every State, City & Province)- Partnership compliance. Own the Form 1065 process, K-1s, composite returns and nonresident withholding. Evaluate PTET elections, and calculate partner tax distributions under our LLC agreement.
- Federal, state and local income and franchise taxes. Cover apportionment, nexus monitoring as we enter new markets, and city-level business privilege and gross receipts taxes. Examples include Philadelphia BIRT/NPT, NYC UBT, Texas margin tax and Washington B&O.
- Sales and use tax management. Handle monthly returns across hundreds of jurisdictions and registrations for every new bakery. Address the taxability of delivery fees, gift cards and catering, marketplace-facilitator rules with delivery partners, and audit defense.
- Personal property tax. File annual returns and renditions for bakery equipment and leasehold improvements, and pursue assessment appeals where the numbers don't add up.
- The stuff that falls through cracks. Own unclaimed property and escheat (especially gift cards), 1099 compliance, business license renewals and a master tax calendar so nothing is ever late.
- Advisor management and planning. Direct outside tax advisors and manage notices and audits. Support tax accruals in the monthly close, and advise on entity structure and new-market expansion.
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance. CPA and/or CTP strongly preferred, and an MBA is a plus.
- 10+ years of progressive treasury and tax experience, ideally combining public accounting (Big 4 or national firm) with industry leadership.
- Multi-unit restaurant, retail or consumer experience strongly preferred. You know what high-volume, low-ticket, many-location cash looks like.
- You've built and owned a 13-week cash flow in a lender-reported environment and lived through covenant compliance, credit agreement mechanics and lender diligence.
- Hands-on partnership tax (1065) experience, including composite returns and K-1s.
- Multi-state sales and use tax experience at scale. Familiarity with Avalara or Vertex is a plus, and exposure to Canadian GST/HST or UK VAT is a bonus.
- Experience in a sponsor- or investor-backed company, and with financing or refinancing transactions, is a strong plus.
- Advanced Excel modeling skills. Experience with Workday ERP and treasury or banking platforms is a plus.
- You're a builder and player-coach who's equally comfortable designing the process and running it, and you can tell the story behind the numbers to a CFO, a board or a bank.
- You're comfortable in a fast-moving environment with tight timelines, iteration and a results-driven mindset.
