Marginedge Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for a Financial Analyst (aka Excel-wizard) to join the Finance team at MarginEdge. The Financial Analyst will be responsible for all financial reporting and for contributing to planning and analysis, including budgeting and forecasting, cash management, and operational KPI reporting for MarginEdge. Using financial and operational data, you will work with the FP&A manager to track, and report on the key drivers of the business, as well as forecast future revenues and expenditures.

This role is based out of our Arlington, VA headquarters and follows a hybrid schedule of three days per week in-office.

MarginEdge: Where hospitality meets technology

As a team built by former (and current!) restaurant operators, our mission is to bring operators the same energy, attention to detail, and passion that they bring to their guests. Our culture is deeply rooted in service, partially because that’s where so many of our team come from (including everyone on our Business Development team), but also because we believe it is just the right way to run a business. We design our software with profound empathy for the complexity of running a restaurant, and the goal of making the magic just a little easier for operators by taking the complex (read: very annoying) back office tasks off their plate, while empowering them with real-time data.

Our founders share a deep history in both owning and operating restaurants and in building successful tech companies. We are venture-backed and serve 12,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada.

We enable restaurants to make magic while knowing we are doing the same for them.

We have the utmost respect for our clients and because of this, we are unable to hire their current employees.
