We are proud to serve successful restaurant and retail concepts of all shapes and sizes (from independents to national franchises) and are growing very rapidly, as demand for modern technology and industry-specific financial expertise accelerates coming out of the pandemic.

Why choose Tablespoon

• More flexibility and balance. We are 100% remote and offer the flexibility to find balance between work and your personal schedule.

• Culture of innovation. As a small but rapidly growing firm, we operate more like a startup than a traditional consulting firm. Innovation, agility, and continuous improvement are at our core.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience in the SaaS industry and knowledge of applicable GAAP accounting standards (especially ASC 606). Strong technology skills and prior experience with Sage Intacct advanced modules are a differentiator.
