Director of Finance And Accounting

Hotel Director of Finance (a.k.a. The Person Who Knows Where Every Penny Went)

Location: New Braunfels, TX

Total Compensation Potential: $120K–$162K

Relocation Assistance: Yes, we'll help you move your calculator and your family

So, About This Role

Here's the thing nobody tells you about hotel finance: it's not just about dollars and cents. It's about being the calm, slightly caffeinated human who knows exactly why the laundry budget went sideways in June, where the missing $43 from the front desk drawer wandered off to, and whether we can actually afford that fancy new lobby fountain (spoiler: that's your call).

We're hiring a Director of Finance to be the financial backbone of this property. Not the back office. The backbone. There's a difference, and you already know it.

You'll have a seat at the leadership table, right next to the General Manager, who will look at you with hope in their eyes every time they ask, "Can we do this?" You'll answer honestly. Sometimes that answer is "yes." Sometimes it's "yes, but." And sometimes it's a gentle, professional "absolutely not, and here's the spreadsheet that proves it."

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Financial Reporting

You'll produce financial statements so clear and timely that leadership stops guessing and starts knowing. No more interpretive dance about how the quarter went. Just numbers, telling the truth.

Budgeting and Forecasting

You'll build annual budgets that reflect reality, not wishful thinking. Then you'll forecast the future like a slightly nerdier fortune teller, except your crystal ball is made of historical data and good judgment.

P&L Oversight

You'll own the profit and loss statement like it's your firstborn. Every revenue stream, every cost center, every "wait, why are we spending that much on pens?" moment. You'll spot the trends, flag the risks, and find the opportunities hiding in plain sight.

Cash Flow Management

You'll keep an eye on cash flow so the lights stay on, the vendors stay happy, and nobody panics on payday. Liquidity is your love language.

Daily Cash Deposits and Cash Controls

Every day, the money goes where it's supposed to go. You'll make sure of it. No mysteries, no shrinking drawers, no "I'm sure it'll turn up." Cash controls tight enough to make an auditor weep with joy.

Monthly and Quarterly Inventories

You'll count things. Lots of things. Then you'll count them again because that's how inventory works. Towels, liquor, mini bar Toblerones, the works. You'll know what we have, what walked off, and what it all costs.

Internal Audits

You'll run internal audits with the quiet confidence of someone who has nothing to hide and expects the same from everyone else. You're not the fun police. You're the "let's keep this honest and tidy" police.

Capital Expenditures

When the property wants to buy something big and shiny, you'll be the one running the numbers and asking the brave question: "Will this actually pay for itself, or do we just want it?" Both are valid. Only one gets approved.

Labor Control

You'll manage labor costs without turning into a villain. Right people, right hours, right budget. It's a balancing act, and you've got excellent balance.

EBITDA and Cash Flow

You'll live and breathe EBITDA. You'll explain it to people who nod politely but have no idea what it means, and you'll do it without making them feel small. That's a gift.

Financial Strategy

You'll partner with the GM and department heads to turn raw numbers into real strategy. Margins go up. Growth happens. People start listening when you talk, because you're usually right.

Team Leadership

You'll lead, mentor, and develop the accounting and finance team. You'll set clear standards, build bench strength, and create the kind of department where the numbers always add up and the people actually like coming to work.

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or something close enough that it counts (preferred, not a dealbreaker).
• Proven experience in hotel or hospitality finance, ideally in a leadership or director-level seat. You've done this. You've got the gray hairs to prove it.
• Fluency in hotel accounting systems and financial management software. You don't fear the tech. The tech fears you.
• A strong command of budgeting, forecasting, internal controls, and P&L management. The fundamentals, but make it expert level.
• Sharp analytical skills paired with the rare ability to explain complicated things to people in plain English.
• A leadership style built on accuracy, accountability, and the kind of sound judgment that makes everyone breathe easier.

Why You'll Want This One

Let's be honest. Finance leaders rarely get a standing ovation when the property crushes its numbers, but they're the first call when something slips. Here, that changes. Your work gets seen. Your judgment gets respected. And your authority is real, not the kind that exists only on an org chart.

You'll shape strategy. You'll grow your leadership scope. And you'll do it at a property that genuinely believes great hospitality starts with sound numbers, because it does.

This is a role with real influence and a clear path forward. New Braunfels is a pretty great place to call home, too, but you'll figure that out fast.

Ready to Talk Numbers?

If you're the kind of finance leader who finds a balanced ledger oddly satisfying and a clean audit deeply emotional, we should talk.
