Financial Controller

Responsibilities

• Own the books across all entities, including the general ledger, chart of accounts, entity-level accuracy, intercompany transactions, reconciliations, and multi-entity consolidation.
• Run month-end and year-end close with discipline, documentation, and a clear path to a faster close cycle over time without sacrificing accuracy.
• Own financial reporting, including monthly financial statements, budget-to-actuals, department-level visibility, unit-level reporting, and variance commentary that explains the “why,” not just the “what.”
• Own cash-flow reporting and forecasting, including weekly cash visibility, rolling 13-week cash flow, upcoming obligations, construction draws, and growth investments.
• Own regulatory, tax, and compliance processes, including sales, lodging, occupancy tax, 1099s, entity filings, and coordination with tax advisors, auditors, lenders, and other external partners.
• Build and enforce accounting systems and controls, including QuickBooks or Sage Intacct structure, close processes, documentation, approval workflows, PO/spend controls, and internal control discipline.
• Partner with banks, lenders, and advisors on financing, construction draws, lender reporting, documentation, and capital planning.
• Build and maintain department- and entity-level budgets, helping leaders understand spend, tradeoffs, accountability, and ROI.
• Identify cost savings, vendor-fee reductions, waste, margin opportunities, and expense discipline improvements without weakening accuracy, compliance, or controls.
• Partner with the technical team to automate manual reporting and accounting workflows. You define the requirements, protect the accounting logic, and verify accuracy before any automated or AI-generated output drives decisions.
