About the Role
HTeaO, a thriving franchise in the tea industry, is growing fast, and so is our need for a passionate and organized accountant to help fuel that momentum! We are looking for a Senior Treasury Accountant to own our company's cash operations end-to-end while also serving as a key technical accounting resource and the primary accounting point of contact for our franchisee network. This is a hybrid role that blends hands-on treasury execution, technical accounting expertise, and cross-functional partnership.
Key Responsibilities
Treasury & Cash Management
- Execute all cash-related tasks across the organization, including:
- Processing and approving outgoing payments (AP disbursements, wires, ACH)
- Daily cash positioning and monitoring across all accounts
- Cash flow forecasting (short- and long-term) and variance analysis
- Managing banking relationships, including account setup, signatory changes, and day-to-day bank communications
- Bank reconciliations and resolution of discrepancies
- Monitoring and optimizing bank fees, account structures, and liquidity
- Managing intercompany funding and transfers, if applicable
- Debt covenant tracking and reporting, if applicable
- Fraud prevention controls (positive pay, dual approval, payment verification)
- Maintaining and improving treasury policies, procedures, and internal controls
Technical Accounting
- Serve as a go-to resource for technical accounting questions across the accounting and finance team
- Research and document accounting positions on complex or non-routine transactions (e.g., revenue recognition, leases, new pronouncements)
- Draft technical accounting memos to support GAAP compliance and audit readiness
- Partner with external auditors on technical accounting matters and support the annual audit process
- Monitor new accounting standards and assess/implement impact on the business
Franchisee Accounting Liaison
- Act as the primary accounting point of contact for franchisees on all system and process-related questions
- Field and resolve franchisee inquiries related to accounting systems, reporting requirements, royalty/fee calculations, and process workflows
- Develop and maintain training materials, FAQs, and process documentation for franchisee accounting matters
- Identify recurring franchisee pain points and partner with internal teams to improve systems and processes
- Support onboarding of new franchisees from an accounting/systems perspective
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA preferred
- 5+ years of progressive experience in accounting and/or treasury, ideally with exposure to both
- Strong understanding of US GAAP and technical accounting research
- Experience managing banking relationships and cash operations directly (not just reviewing reports)
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain accounting/technical concepts to non-accounting audiences (e.g., franchisees)
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable owning deadlines independently
- Experience in a multi-unit, franchise, or retail environment a plus
- Proficiency with accounting/ERP systems and treasury/banking portals
What Success Looks Like
- Cash operations run smoothly with no payment delays, banking issues, or unresolved reconciliation items
- Technical accounting positions are well-documented, defensible, and audit-ready
- Franchisees have a trusted, responsive accounting contact and view accounting processes as clear rather than a source of friction
