Staff Accountant

About the role

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi - brewers of Asahi Super Dry - acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. Our Finance team keeps the business side of Octopi and Asahi as sharp as our production side - and the Staff Accountant plays a key role in keeping our books accurate, audit-ready, and on time.

We're looking for a Staff Accountant to support our accounting and financial reporting functions - from journal entries and reconciliations to month-end close - helping keep our financial information accurate and reliable as we continue to grow.

What makes this role great:

• Broad exposure across the full accounting cycle - GL, AP/AR, reconciliations, close, and reporting - not just one narrow lane
• A direct line to the Controller, with real visibility into how the business runs financially
• A strong foundation role for building a long-term accounting career, especially as we continue to grow

Responsibilities

• Prepare and post journal entries, and maintain and investigate general ledger account activity
• Perform monthly balance sheet reconciliations and support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close
• Process and reconcile accounts payable, accounts receivable, and company bank deposits
• Support preparation of financial statements and management reports
• File and monitor tax reporting requirements, and maintain audit-ready accounting records
• Track purchase orders and reconcile company credit card accounts

Requirements

• 1-3 years of accounting experience preferred
• 2-year accounting or business degree with 1-2 years of related experience, or a 4-year accounting degree
• Working knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting principles
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and accounting software/ERP systems
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with excellent attention to detail

Skills

• Familiarity with accounts payable and accounts receivable processes
• Experience supporting fixed asset accounting

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage - effective the 1st of the month after 30 days
• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
• 401(k) with company match - 100% up to 3%, 50% on the next 2%
• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here
• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)
• A free beer after shift, because you earned it
