Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden

Finance Assistant

Austin, TX
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Hello All, My name is Sarah Miedema and I am the Director of Finance at Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden. I am posting this ad because I’m looking for a Finance Assistant to join our Central Office Team. If you don’t know, Banger’s is a sausage house and beer garden located on Rainey Street in Downtown Austin, Texas. We opened our doors in 2012, and we finished a large expansion on the lot adjacent to us at the end of 2018. We are now home to the largest draft beer system in the state of Texas with 202 individual lines, a beer cellar for aging beers, a pickling facility, a meat curing facility, a smokehouse, and a small-scale meat processing facility for whole animal butchery and fresh sausage production. The whole compound doubles as a live music and private event center with a standing room occupancy of 1,800 people. The space was designed to be flexible and can accommodate up to four, 300-person, parties simultaneously.

    Before Covid, Banger’s had a team of 120 people with a Central Office Team of 5. We are currently sitting at about 85 people, two of which are on the Central Office Team (one was just hired a week ago). We are ready to add the third member of our Central Office Team, a Finance Assistant. We are not just looking for an individual who understands finance. Yes, we need that, but more importantly, we are looking for someone who fits in with the culture of the organization we are working to build and is excited about the prospect of being a member of a small and highly skilled team within that larger organization and culture.

    Culturally, we are building an organization that is as focused on the growth and potential of the individuals that work here as we are on the growth of the business itself. One that pushes people to the edge of their comfort zones so they can become the best versions of themselves and meet their full potential.

    As for the Central Office Team, we are looking for highly specialized people with a willingness to be cross-trained in the various disciplines of the department. As an example, for this role, you’ll be primarily focused on finance, but you might get to help with the hiring process for all hands on deck situations or help with office management tasks if someone’s on vacation. This also means, when you are on vacation, your teammates can help keep things moving, so it’s not just waiting there for your return. Here is a brief list of the skills and attributes we are looking for:

    2+ years Quickbooks Online experience

    2+ years of payroll experience

    Advanced MS Excel and Google Drive experience

    Work experiences as a finance assistant or similar position

    Organization and time management skills

    Tech-savvy

    Compensation & Benefits Package Includes:

    $45,000+ per year depending on experience

    Enrollment in Banger’s Profit-Sharing Plan

    2 weeks paid vacation

    Health, Dental, Vision insurance

    Life insurance

    I am looking for the people to help me build out the structure and consistency of this departments to match that culture. To keep the vibe of what is being built all the way through to how we interact with our vendors, employees, and each other. To be part of the team to work these problems together and fix the issues or bottlenecks in the stuff that still needs to happen and the patience and persistence to know that it doesn’t just happen, it will take work. If that sounds like something you want to do, please apply and tell me why in you want to join our team in your cover letter.

    Best,

    Sarah Miedema
