CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER PROFILE: PIPING ROCK CLUB

LOCUST VALLEY, NY

Piping Rock Club seeks a highly relational, strategically minded Chief Financial Officer to serve as a trusted advisor to the Board, an indispensable financial thought partner to the General Manager, and a collaborative business partner to its seasoned department heads. This is a rare opportunity to join one of the nation’s most respected private clubs—a historic, tradition-rich environment—while helping guide it thoughtfully into its next chapter of financial clarity, operational alignment, and long-term planning.

The ideal CFO brings not only technical excellence but also patience, diplomacy, and the political savvy required to navigate a complex governance environment. The Club is poised for significant advances in operational and capital planning, and its next CFO will help shape these changes by building trust, developing strong relationships, and establishing financial practices that support both tradition and forward momentum.

This leader will thoughtfully evaluate current financial operations, implement efficiency improvements, update processes, and implement best-practice systems to improve accuracy, transparency, and timeliness.

Success in this role requires exceptional executive presence and communication skills, including the ability to present financial concepts clearly to non-financial audiences and to facilitate consensus among stakeholders with differing viewpoints. The CFO will be a calm, steadying force—someone who de-escalates tension, frames difficult conversations with integrity, and supports the GM and department heads with the financial tools, dashboards, and metrics needed to convey essential insights.

The individual will move at a pace appropriate for the Club—careful, deliberate, and respectful of long-standing traditions—while still championing innovation, modernization, and technological advancement.

Piping Rock Club, located in the charming hamlet of Locust Valley, NY, is just a short train ride from New York City and steeped in more than a century of distinguished tradition. Founded in 1911 as a social and sporting club, the Club's deep equestrian heritage was central to its identity, and The New York Times highlighted it in its announcement of the Club’s organization.

Noted architect C.B. Macdonald designed Piping Rock’s renowned golf course around the steeple-chase track that once occupied the grounds.

Today, Piping Rock stands as one of the finest private country clubs in the nation and is consistently recognized as one of the top 100 golf courses. Its Main Clubhouse offers several intimate, well-appointed dining venues and bars, complemented by twenty overnight guest suites and multiple charming member cottages. The Club features an exceptional array of racquet facilities, including 16 grass courts, 10 Har-Tru clay courts, three indoor Har-Tru courts, four paddle courts, and four squash courts, along with a fully equipped second-floor fitness center.

The state-of-the-art Golf House enhances the golf experience with four indoor bays, three simulators, a putting lab, and a professional club fitting center. Members also enjoy trap and skeet shooting in a warm, lodge-style setting.

Adding to its premier amenities, Piping Rock operates the scenic Fox Point Beach Club, located 4.5 miles from the Main Club. Overlooking Long Island Sound, Fox Point offers indoor and outdoor dining, a swimming pool, and a playground—making it a beloved summer destination for families.
