The Senior Accountant will manage financial close, analyze variances, prepare reports, and improve accounting processes, supporting the Senior Accounting Manager.
Who We Are:
Our story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling to their favorite restaurants. They had an idea: bring Chicago’s local restaurant culture inside the office to sell food. It was an immediate hit. When they discovered people from other companies sneaking into their office, they knew they were on to something.
Fooda pioneered the concept of rotating popup restaurants inside offices. Today, we operate in 45 cities with over 100 million meals served and continue to grow rapidly.
Powered by technology and a network of 3,500+ restaurants, we feed hungry people at work through a platform of unique food programs located within companies, office buildings, hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and more. At Fooda, we believe a workplace food program should be something employees love and look forward to every day.
Who We Are Looking For:
Due to continued growth, Fooda is looking to hire a Senior Accountant to our Accounting and Finance Team. Reporting to the Senior Accounting Manager, this role will offer exposure to all areas of Fooda’s business.
