Full Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Controller to oversee accounting and financial operations for a private hospitality co and its affiliated homeowner's association in Montecito, California. This position plays a central role in producing reliable financial reporting, maintaining strong internal controls, and supporting leadership with budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. The ideal candidate brings hospitality or club accounting expertise, sound judgment, and the ability to lead day-to-day financial activities with accuracy and consistency.

Responsibilities:

Lead daily accounting operations for both the private club and the homeowner's association, ensuring accurate records and clear financial separation between entities.
Prepare monthly financial packages, including trial balances, income statements, balance sheets, and fund activity reports for leadership review.
Reconcile bank accounts, subledgers, receivables, payables, and fixed asset schedules to support timely and accurate month-end close processes.
Oversee member billing, account statements, and collection follow-up in alignment with established club policies and service standards.
Maintain compliance with applicable accounting standards, payroll regulations, internal control practices, and California homeowners' association reserve funding requirements.
Partner with the Director of Finance, General Manager, and department leaders to analyze budget-to-actual performance, investigate variances, and recommend corrective action.
Coordinate audit preparation and serve as the primary contact for external auditors and accounting partners during annual financial reviews for both entities.
Administer and review bi-monthly payroll processing, helping ensure accurate pay practices and compliance with federal and state labor requirements.
Supervise, coach, and evaluate accounting staff while promoting consistent procedures, accountability, and strong service support across departments.
Monitor inventories and insurance-related financial records for club assets, helping preserve documentation accuracy and operational control.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
5 to 7 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a senior-level accounting or Controller role within a private club, resort, or luxury hospitality environment.
Strong background in general ledger management, account reconciliation, bank reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close, and year-end audit support.
Experience with fund accounting and financial oversight for a homeowners association governed under the California Davis-Stirling Act is strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to lead, develop, and mentor a small accounting team in a hands-on operating environment.
Advanced Excel skills and proven ability to perform variance analysis, account analysis, and financial forecasting with a high level of accuracy.
Familiarity with club and hospitality accounting platforms such as ClubEssentials and payroll or HR systems such as Paycom is highly desirable.
CPA or Certified Hospitality Accounting Executive designation is preferred but not required.
