Remote Hospitality Jobs in Bennington, VT (NOW HIRING)

We’re an accounting & advisory company that’s passionate about helping restaurants, hotels & food-based retail businesses thrive. We deliver insightful guidance and financial clarity, freeing business owners to focus on what they’re most passionate about: creating unforgettable guest experiences.

At Prix Fixe, we really believe that people are the core element of success, and our Accountants play the most pivotal role: Our team is directly responsible for helping our clients survive and translate the numbers to a language our clients can understand. 

You’ll maintain relationships with restaurateurs and chefs, primarily via email and zoom. Many of our clients don’t have a financial background and rely on Prix Fixe to help them understand their business. In today’s economic climate, this is more important than ever. By providing the right mix of professional, yet casual demeanor, we believe that the relationship frees our clients up to focus on the parts of their business that brings them joy. 

In a typical week, Accountants will spend roughly 60% of their time completing accounting tasks, 30% of their time communicating with clients, and 10% of their time in meetings or training.

• You’re hungry for knowledge: Knowing how to do something doesn’t leave you satisfied, you’re hungry to know why and eager to learn new skills.
• You’re a master of numbers: You have a deep understanding of the financial statements; the relationship between them, what it all means, and the ability to explain the numbers to our clients in a language they understand.
