About the Role

A rapidly growing hospitality management group is seeking a Vice President of Accounting & Finance to help shape and scale its newly established hospitality division. This is a rare opportunity to join an organization at a pivotal stage—building the financial foundation for a world-class portfolio of hotels and restaurants.

The ideal candidate will be both a strategic business partner and a hands-on operator—someone who can think like a CFO while being comfortable rolling up their sleeves to implement systems, policies, and procedures. This position will serve as the primary liaison between the corporate office and individual hotel finance teams, ensuring alignment, accuracy, and financial excellence across the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Build and lead the financial infrastructure for a newly formed hospitality management group, including policies, procedures, systems, and controls.

Partner with property-level Directors of Finance and Controllers to ensure accuracy and consistency in financial reporting, cash flow management, and forecasting.

Oversee consolidated financial reporting, budgeting, and variance analysis for the corporate entity and managed properties.

Act as a strategic finance leader supporting decision-making through detailed financial modeling, ROI analysis, and business insights.

Support property-level finance teams in preparing P& Ls, budgets, forecasts, and capex analyses prior to ownership distribution.

Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, human resources, and commercial teams to drive operational efficiency and profitability.

Serve as the key financial point of contact for ownership and executive leadership, providing actionable recommendations and analysis.

Lead or support financial transitions for new hotel openings, ensuring smooth onboarding of systems, banking, and payroll functions.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred.

10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, with significant experience in the hospitality or hotel industry required.

Proven success in a multi-property finance leadership role with dotted-line oversight of hotel accounting teams.

Strong background in developing financial processes, procedures, and internal controls from the ground up.

Experience supporting new hotel openings or large property transitions strongly preferred.

Hands-on approach with the ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels.

Excellent communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills with a collaborative leadership style.

Familiarity with hospitality financial systems such as Sage Intacct, ProfitSword, or BirchStreet a plus.

Willingness to travel occasionally to property locations.

Why Join

This is a unique opportunity to join a high-growth organization at the ground level—where you’ll have direct impact on the company’s financial success and the ability to shape the future of its hospitality operations. You’ll work alongside an experienced executive team, lead cross-functional initiatives, and help define what financial excellence looks like across an expanding portfolio.Annual Budget, Month End Close, Budget Processes, Financial Reporting, Cash Flow Forecasts, Hospitality management, Continuous Process Improvement, Corporate Finance, Profit and loss, Budgeting - Forecasting, Variance Analysis
