Controller, Accounting, Financial Compliance

Roberts Resorts & Communities is a family-owned company that owns and operates manufactured home, RV, and cabin communities across the country. Today we operate 21 communities, and we're growing with a long-term vision to significantly expand our footprint.

Location:

Scottsdale, AZ (On-Site)

This Role Exists for One Reason:
Build the financial foundation for our next chapter.

Growth creates opportunity. It also creates complexity.

As our company continues to expand, we need a Controller who can bring order to a fast-moving environment, strengthen our accounting infrastructure, and help build scalable processes without losing the agility that makes our company successful.

This isn't a large corporate environment with endless resources and established playbooks.

If that sounds energizing, keep reading. If you're looking for a company where every process is already documented and every answer already exists, this probably isn't the right fit.

You own the accounting function.

That means accurate financial reporting, month-end close, multi-entity accounting, internal controls, cash visibility, and building accounting processes that support a growing business.

You'll also lead an experienced accounting team, including accountants, accounts payable, and treasury professionals, while helping develop future leaders from within. We believe in promoting talent internally and creating long-term career opportunities.

This role partners directly with the CFO, CEO, COO, and executive leadership team to provide financial insight that drives business decisions.

• Leading and developing a high-performing accounting team
• Driving accurate and timely financial reporting
• Rolling up your sleeves to resolve accounting issues and clean up legacy processes where needed
• Creating and documenting accounting policies and procedures
• Building scalable processes that support future growth
• Partnering with operations leaders across multiple communities
• Leveraging technology, automation, AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot, and other solutions to improve efficiency
• Identifying opportunities to strengthen controls and increase financial visibility

This is a hands-on leadership role.

You lead from the front.

• Accurate financial statements delivered on time
• Strong accounting fundamentals and financial integrity
• Standardized policies and scalable processes
• Improved visibility into business performance
• A well-developed, high-performing accounting team
• Leadership confidence in the numbers

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Proven leadership experience managing accounting teams
• Strong technical accounting and financial reporting expertise
• Experience in multi-entity organizations, real estate, hospitality, property management, or similarly complex businesses
• Experience building or improving accounting functions, systems, and processes
• Comfortable balancing strategic leadership with hands-on accounting work
• Resourceful, adaptable, and able to thrive in an entrepreneurial environment
• Experience in a growing, family-owned company or startup is highly valued
• CPA preferred

• You prefer maintaining established systems instead of building better ones.
• You need extensive corporate infrastructure before taking action.
• You want a role focused only on strategy without staying connected to the accounting details.
• You're not committed to building a long-term leadership career.

That isn't a criticism. It's simply not the seat.

The Controller will help build the financial infrastructure that supports our continued growth while maintaining the flexibility that has made our company successful.

This role offers significant visibility across the organization and the opportunity to influence how we scale for years to come.

For the right person, it also provides a clear path toward future executive financial leadership.

$175,000–$200,000, based on qualifications and experience.

Medical, dental, and vision insurance. 401(k) with company match. Paid time off. Parental leave. Significant opportunity for professional growth and internal advancement.

This role comes with visibility.

It comes with responsibility.

It comes with the opportunity to build something that lasts.

If you enjoy bringing structure to complexity, developing people, and helping a growing family-owned company reach its next stage, we'd love to meet you.
