Financial Controller

We’re hiring a Controller who can run the core accounting engine and operate as a strategic right hand to our Chief Technology and Finance Officer. This is not a “keep the books tidy” job. This is “build the machine”: clean close, strong controls, sharp reporting, confident cash visibility, and finance workflows that scale as we grow.

You’ll work closely with our CFO (Colin), COO (Vanessa), and CEO (Luke), our internal accounting team, and outsourced finance partners. You’ll bridge the gap between day-to-day accounting execution and executive-level financial clarity. Bottom line: you’ll make the financials trustworthy, timely, and useful—so leadership can make better decisions faster.

Drive the execution and performance of Del Mar's financial engine — delivering clean reporting, strong controls, and the cash visibility that empowers leadership to make confident decisions.

• Own the monthly close end-to-end: schedule, checklist, reconciliations, review, and final outputs
• Ensure clean revenue recognition, accruals, prepaid schedules, and balance sheet hygiene
• Build and maintain internal controls to reduce fraud, error, leakage, and financial surprises
• Keep us audit-ready all year, not just when someone’s panicking in March

• Produce monthly financial package (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, KPIs, variance explanations)
• Deliver spend visibility and trend insights: what’s changing, why, and what we should do about it
• Partner with the CFO on forecasting, budget vs. actual analysis, and leadership-ready reporting
• Translate financial results into clear narratives for executives and department leaders

• Own cash visibility: near-term cash planning and systems to prevent surprises
• Oversee A/P and A/R workflow health: accuracy, timing, approvals, and controls
• Improve working capital rhythms (billing discipline, collections, payout timing, vendor terms)
• Build scalable workflows across systems:
  Quick Books Online, Divvy, Guesty, Hub Spot, Zuper

• Coordinate tax filings, forms, and payments with external partners
• Maintain documentation and schedules so compliance is routine—not a last-minute ritual

• Optimize our accounting tech stack and SOPs (standard operating procedures)
• Create clarity across departments on coding, purchasing, approvals, and accountability
• Lead our 2-person accounting team and partner with outsourced finance resources

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA preferred
• 7+ years in accounting/finance with progressive responsibility; public and private background preferred
• Experience in high-transaction environments (hospitality, property management, marketplace models) preferred
• Strong Quick Books Online experience in a real operational environment
• Ability to run close and controls, and also support forecasting, cash planning, and exec reporting
• Clear communicator—no finance fog machine, no vague hand-waving
• Love building systems, tightening processes, and making messy things make sense
• Process improvement, automation, or experience building finance ops from scratch
