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
