Howard Financial provides outsourced financial solutions for fast-growing US companies. Founded in 2023, our team of professionals supports roughly 75 clients, driving over 200% year-over-year growth ($6M ARR). We operate with high autonomy, low red tape, and modern technology.

The Role

We are hiring a proactive, tech-forward Senior Controller to lead our rapidly growing Short-Term Rental (STR) & Hospitality vertical.

You will own the financial health of a portfolio of sophisticated clients, lead a remote team of accountants and bookkeepers, and serve as the main advisor for client executive teams.

• Team Leadership: Mentor, guide, and review the work of a team of remote accountants and bookkeepers.
• Trust Accounting: Oversee complex owner-fund and trust accounting structures with absolute precision.
• Client Partnering: Act as the primary advisor for client CEOs and investors, explaining P&L trends and cash flow projections.
• Process Building: Implement scalable controls and standardize workflows as client portfolios expand.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 7+ years in accounting, with 3+ years in a Controller or senior financial leadership role.
• Domain Knowledge: Experience in Short-Term Rentals, Property Management, or Hospitality.
• Technical Accounting: Strong command of US GAAP, multi-entity consolidations, and trust accounting.
• Tech-Forward Mindset: Proficient in QBO, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct, plus PMS software (Guesty, Streamline, Track, or similar).
• Proactive Leader: A self-starter who digs into messy data, fixes inefficiencies, and communicates clearly with C-suite stakeholders.
• Language: Fluent spoken and written English.
