Chicago, United States Farmer's Fridge Careers Full time

Farmer’s Fridge makes fruits and vegetables accessible and approachable for everyone. We offer a variety of fresh, healthy, ready-to-eat meals and snacks through our fresh food vending machines, wholesale partners, and our office pantry solution — providing chef-curated meals to customers within seconds. Today, we operate a network of Fridges and partner with clients nationwide in high-foot-traffic areas, such as airports, hospitals, universities, and large office buildings — where there is limited accessibility to fresh, healthy, grab-n-go options.

We care deeply about what we’re creating and aspire to make sure our customers feel that through every touchpoint. This shows up in many ways across the business. We are committed to prioritizing food safety, we are passionate about product quality, we value our employees, we champion the best idea no matter where it comes from, and we’re committed to making an overall positive impact as we scale.

**About this Role**:
As the **_Controller_** at Farmer's Fridge, you'll lead the charge in maintaining our financial integrity and ensuring compliance through timely closings, GAAP-compliant financial statements, and variance analyses. You'll drive efficient cash management, implement processes, tools, and controls, and navigate regulatory landscapes while identifying and communicating the accounting implications of business decisions. Proficient in Microsoft Excel and Google Suite, you view accounting as a value-add function and will champion initiatives to make it happen. Your visionary leadership extends to owning relationships with service providers and developing a high-performing team, making this role a key contributor to Farmer's Fridge's financial success.

**What You’ll Do**:

- Execute timely and accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual closing, including publishing GAAP-compliant financial statements for internal and external stakeholders
- Provide meaningful and actionable variance analysis to finance and senior leadership. Collaborate with the FP&A team to understand performance drivers and forecast future performance
- Forecast and manage all cash balances and accounts, including working capital processes that support effective cash management
- Implement and maintain stage-appropriate processes, tools, and controls. Drive efficiency of the accounting team as Farmer’s Fridge grows
- Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations, including GAAP and local, state, and federal tax filings, and prepare for proposed future regulations
- Identify and communicate accounting implications of business decisions
- Own all service provider relationships (audit, tax, commercial banking, etc)
- Hire, develop, and manage a high-performing team who understands how they contribute to the success of Farmer’s Fridge

**Who You Are**
- 10-15+ years of experience, including leading accounting teams through high-growth
- CPA required
- Manufacturing experience preferred
- Proficient in Microsoft Excel and Google Suite. Experience with Sage Intacct preferred but not required
- Excellent communicator with people of all levels and functions. You distill performance insight and technical accounting concepts into plain English
- You see accounting as a value add function and have a vision for making it happen
- Curious - you love to learn from anyone of any level. You ask a lot of questions and listen
- Persistent - if you don’t understand something, you don’t stop until you do
- Detail-oriented with a bias toward action - you care about the accuracy but make progress over perfection

**Farmer’s Fridge Diversity Statement**:
**Benefits at Farmer's Fridge**:
**_ In This Together -_** We stay connected, whether in person or virtually. We encourage business transparency through monthly town hall meetings and weekly financial updates. We set out to make the best product on the market, and we believe we’ve done it. We value your input in the new menu creation process.

**_ Happier Workdays - _**Each day at work should fill you with joy. We're a fun and passionate group, and we don't take ourselves too seriously. Bring your unique self to work, dress comfortably, and always feel free to share your thoughts and opinions. We encourage curiosity; there's no hierarchy here when we're all swapping ideas.

**_ Never run on empty -_** Daily Farmer's Fridge meal, draft cold brew and beer, and office snacks are just some of the offerings to make sure you aren't distracted by a growling stomach. Recharge with our paid sabbatical program after four years of service.

**_ Innovate & Elevate -_** We're all teachers and learners. You'll grow, and help grow the company through cross-functional collaboration, open access to leadership, and regular business updates.
