Description

Horseshoe Bay Resort | Crescent Hotels & Resorts

Spanning more than 7,000 acres, Horseshoe Bay Resort, a premier destination, features world-class golf courses, a full-service marina, award-winning dining, exceptional spa and wellness experiences, and an array of year-round recreational activities that attract guests from across the country.

As Financial Controller, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact at one of Texas' most iconic resort destinations. This is more than a leadership role in finance; it's a chance to partner with an experienced executive team, influence strategic business decisions, and help drive the financial success of a dynamic, full-service resort known for delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Controller to join a large, complex resort operation and serve as a key finance leader supporting day-to-day operations. This role functions as the right hand to the Director of Finance, combining deep accounting expertise with strong operational partnership across the property.

This is not a traditional back-office accounting role. The ideal candidate brings hands‑on experience in resort or complex hospitality environments and thrives in a highly operational, multi‑department setting—translating financial insight into actionable business results across the resort.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and execute month‑end close, financial reporting, and reconciliation processes with accuracy and timeliness
• Oversee full accounting operations, including GL, AP/AR, payroll, income audit, and purchasing
• Own budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis across multiple revenue streams
• Manage audit, compliance, tax‑related reporting, and internal control processes
• Oversee cash flow, multi‑entity financial activity, and capital planning initiatives
• Act as a finance business partner to operational leaders (F&B, golf, spa, marina, lodging, membership, etc.)
• Translate financial data into actionable insights for non‑finance stakeholders
• Drive process improvements across systems, reporting tools, and workflows
• Ensure consistency and accuracy across financial systems and reporting platforms
• Mentor, develop, and lead accounting staff while fostering strong cross‑functional collaboration

Operational Environment

This role supports a highly complex luxury resort with:

• Multiple revenue streams and business lines
• 40+ departments across the property
• Diverse operations including hotel, spa, golf, marina, F&B outlets, membership, and residential components

Required Qualifications

• 5–10+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including leadership responsibility
• Prior experience as:
• Senior Accounting Manager (within a hospitality/resort environment)
• Direct hospitality required; resort experience strongly preferred
• Strong knowledge of:
• Month‑end close processes
• Budgeting and forecasting
• Audit, compliance, and internal controls

Preferred Experience

• Multi‑unit or multi‑outlet hospitality environments
• Exposure to F&B, spa, golf, marina, or resort operations
• Experience actively supporting operational leaders (not strictly corporate finance)
• Familiarity with systems such as:
• M3 (accounting system)
• ProfitSword (BI/forecasting tool)
• BirchStreet (procurement system)
• Opera or similar PMS platforms
• Deep understanding of operational workflows and their financial impact
• Strong cross‑functional collaboration and business partnership mindset
• Ability to communicate financial concepts clearly to non‑finance teams
• Hands‑on leadership style with a willingness to operate “in the weeds” while maintaining a strategic lens
• Highly organized with strong execution, ownership, and follow‑through

What Success Looks Like

• Financial reporting is accurate, timely, and trusted—no surprises
• Finance is actively driving business performance, not just reporting it
• Accounting operations run smoothly with effective controls and processes
• A high‑performing, engaged accounting team is developed and retained
• Base Salary: $105,000 – $125,000 (flexibility based on experience)
• Bonus: ~10% performance‑based
• Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match
• Paid time off + holidays
• Relocation assistance may be available

Why Join Horseshoe Bay Resort

• High‑impact leadership role within a premier, multi‑revenue destination resort
• Exposure to complex, multi‑entity resort operations
• Opportunity to influence both financial strategy and day‑to‑day operational performance
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial environment with strong leadership visibility
• Resort perks including discounts on dining, retail, and stays, plus access to amenities
