About Deep Indian Kitchen

Union, NJ

First, a little more about us. We are Deep Indian Kitchen®. You may have seen us in the frozen aisles of 21,000 natural and conventional grocery, mass, club, and drug stores or been to our fast-casual restaurant. Or, if you shop at Indian grocery stores, you know our parent company, Deep Foods Inc., as your trusted manufacturer and brand with over 1,000 SKUs. Our brand is on fire now, but it hasn’t been long since late 2019 when we began a turnaround and rebrand of our Tandoor Chef® frozen brand and Indikitch® restaurants to Deep Indian Kitchen®. Our differentiated approach and products have made us the #1 fastest-selling natural frozen entrees brand in America, with rapid household penetration growth, over 182K followers on Instagram and TikTok…we could go on. And we know it’s cliché to say, “We’re just getting started,” but we don’t know of any other aspiring ‘platform brand’ that gets to pick and choose from a 1,000 SKU innovation pipeline.

Deep Indian Kitchen’s parent company, Deep Foods, was founded by the Amin family matriarch, Bhagwati Amin, and is now owned and operated by three generations of the Amin family. In late 2019, Deep Foods launched the Deep Indian Kitchen brand, which includes a line of frozen foods and a fast-casual restaurant in NJ, to elevate and expand access to Indian food in mainstream America. It has become one of the fastest-growing frozen food brands in the U.S. and the #1 Indian brand with its delicious, authentic, always-made-from-scratch frozen meals and appetizers that are available in over 21,000 grocery stores nationwide.

Deep Foods is the leader in Indian cuisine in North America with operations in the US, Canada, India, and Australia, and makes frozen meals, breads, and appetizers as well as snacks, beverages, dairy and pantry essentials. Our brands include Bansi®, Babu’s®, Bhagwati’s®, Deep, Deep Indian Kitchen®, Healthy Tiffin®, Hot Mix®, Mirch Masala®, Reena’s®, and Udupi.® Since 1977, we have had one simple purpose: to share all of India through made-from-scratch, authentically crafted food, and drinks. As a family-owned-and-operated company, it’s our mission that our food not only taste good but also do good. That’s why every purchase of our products benefits the Deepkiran Foundation, which helps provide access to education for underprivileged children in rural India. You can find our more than 1,000 products in stores across the ethnic, natural, conventional, club, drug, mass, and ecommerce retail channels.

What You Will Do

Back to the point: you. We seek a Staff Accountant to join our growing Accounting & Finance team.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams to maintain accurate financial records, contribute to the close process, and support the build-out of a more structured finance function.

Who You Are

We need the right person who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to bring order to chaos. Someone who can manage the books day-to-day, collaborate across teams, and help implement best practices. Our ideal candidate has solid AR experience (especially in collections), is excited to grow within the organization, and can bring both structure and insight to our accounting operations.

Benefits
