ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. Our Finance team keeps that growth on solid ground — with accurate books, strong controls, and reporting leadership can trust.


THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for an Assistant Controller to support our Controller in managing accounting operations, financial reporting, internal controls, budgeting, and compliance. You'll help ensure our financial close is accurate and on time, strengthen the processes behind it, and lead and develop the accounting team members who make it happen.


WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

? Real ownership over the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, with direct visibility to the Controller

? Support the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close, ensuring accurate and timely reporting in line with company policy and accounting standards

? Help prepare and analyze financial statements, budgets, forecasts, and management reports that inform business decisions

? Maintain and strengthen internal controls and accounting procedures to meet regulatory, audit, and governance standards

? Oversee general accounting activities — general ledger maintenance, account reconciliations, journal entries, and balance sheet reviews

? Lead, develop, and support accounting team members through work review, training, coaching, and performance management

? Drive continuous improvement in accounting processes, systems, and reporting capabilities

? Partner on high-impact transformation projects


WHAT YOU BRING

Must-haves:

? Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

? 5+ years of progressive accounting experience

? Experience with financial statement preparation and month-end close processes

? Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP

? Advanced Microsoft Excel skills

? Experience with ERP/accounting systems

? Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with high attention to detail and accuracy


Nice-to-haves:

? Previous supervisory experience


BENEFITS & PERKS

? Medical, dental, and vision coverage — effective the 1st of the month after 30 days

? Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance

? 401(k) eligible after 3 months, with company match — 100% up to 3%, 50% on the next 2%

? 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here

? 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)

? A free beer after shift, because you earned it


PAY & SCHEDULE

? Salary: $95,000-105,000 annually

? Schedule: Monday–Friday

Full-time, exempt





Compensation details: 95000-105000 Yearly Salary
