Accounting Manager

About the role

We're looking for an Accounting Manager who makes the close happen. Minnesota Cannabis Services is a multi-state cannabis services organization with a large, complex entity portfolio spanning multiple states. This is a hands-on accounting management role. You'll personally close the most complex entities while supervising staff accountants on the rest. You'll also coordinate with an offshore processing team handling AP and transactional work. If you're the kind of person who thrives on organization, holds people accountable, and gets satisfaction from a clean close - this role was built for you.

Responsibilities

• Monthly Close Execution
• Staff Supervision & Development
• Offshore Team Coordination
• Work Product Quality Assurance
• You review and approve all journal entries, account reconciliations, and GL maintenance. You spot errors, catch inconsistencies, and ensure documentation standards are met across every entity. You also identify recurring mistakes and process gaps - and you fix them, not just flag them.
• Audit & Documentation Support
• You support audit preparation by ensuring workpapers are organized, documentation is complete, and PBC (provided by client) schedules are ready when auditors request them. You maintain organized financial records across all entities so that audit season is a breeze, not a fire drill.

Requirements

• Required:
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with multi-entity or multi-location exposure
• Direct experience managing or executing month-end close across multiple entities
• Experience supervising accounting staff - assigning work, reviewing output, managing performance
• Strong GAAP knowledge with hands-on experience preparing and reviewing journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements
• Proficiency with QuickBooks Online or comparable accounting platforms (Intacct, NetSuite, Xero)
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• Strongly Preferred:
• CPA or CPA-eligible a plus
• Experience in highly regulated industries - cannabis, hospitality, restaurant groups, or franchise operations
• Experience working alongside offshore or distributed accounting teams
• Advanced Excel proficiency including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, and financial analysis
• Who Thrives in This Role
