Accountant

Do numbers tell a story? At Spanish Schoolhouse, they tell the story of children learning, growing, and discovering a second language across our network of campuses in Texas. We're looking for a meticulous, mission-driven Accountant to keep that story accurate — and help us write what comes next.

ABOUT SPANISH SCHOOLHOUSE

Spanish Schoolhouse is a premier Spanish immersion preschool network with over 25 years of operation, serving families across the DFW metroplex and Houston. Our program gives young children a bigger, brighter future — and our Finance team ensures the business behind the mission runs with the same excellence we bring to every classroom.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is more than a numbers role. Reporting to our head of Finance & Accounting, you'll be joining a collaborative, people-first finance function led by a dynamic and seasoned leader who is invested in your growth and values the work you bring every day. You'll own the accuracy of our day-to-day financial operations — and you'll do it in an environment where the work genuinely matters.

You'll work across a multi-site environment spanning corporate and franchise schools, so your ability to stay organized, catch what others miss, and communicate clearly across departments will make a real difference.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage accounts payable and receivable — processing invoices, tracking payments, and monitoring refunds
• Maintain the general ledger — recording daily transactions and posting accurate journal entries
• Reconcile bank statements, credit card accounts, and balance sheet accounts each month
• Prepare income statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, and franchise royalty reports
• Support internal and external audits and assist with tax filing preparation
• Conduct variance analysis, surface discrepancies before they become problems, and assist with budget reviews
• Partner with other departments on budgeting and forecasting to keep the organization aligned
• Champion continuous improvement — identify process gaps and help build smarter workflows

WHAT YOU BRING

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or equivalent hands-on experience
• 3+ years of accounting experience in a multi-site business environment
• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel
• Solid grasp of financial regulations and compliance standards
• Analytical mindset with a genuine commitment to accuracy — you find the error before anyone else does
• A self-starter approach — you manage your own deadlines and don't wait to be asked
• Strong cross-functional communication skills — you can explain financial data to non-finance colleagues clearly and without condescension
• Bilingual in English and Spanish is a plus — but not required

WHY SPANISH SCHOOLHOUSE

• Your work directly supports a mission to help create a bigger & brighter future for children
• A collaborative, people-first culture where your contributions are seen and valued
• A strong, experienced leader who will support your development and trust your judgment
• Full health benefits and generous paid time off (yes, Spring Break is a thing here!)
• Hybrid flexibility — three days in our corporate office, two days remote

WORK ENVIRONMENT

This is a hybrid position based in the Far North Dallas area. Three days per week in our corporate office; no travel required.
