• Systematically audit banquet events from prior days, thoroughly reconciling checks or recorded logs against the accounting system and authorized contracts.
• Collaborate proactively with Sales and Convention Services managers on structuring group budgets, advance payment schedules, and the timely clarification of final statements for billing.
• Actively attend resort operational meetings (such as group master account and Pre-Con meetings) and lead the monthly credit meeting with Executive Committee members and key Department Heads.
• Lead semi-annual and annual performance evaluations, goal setting, ongoing training, and disciplinary actions for direct reports, promoting professional growth and accountability.
• Ensure technical compliance with US GAAP, the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (USALI), and current Mexican tax regulations associated with electronic invoicing (CFDI and payment complements).

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in accounting, finance, or revenue auditing within large resort or luxury hotel environments, with demonstrated prior experience supervising accounts receivable teams.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Public Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field (degree and professional license preferred). An equivalent combination of education and exceptional experience will be considered.
