• Perform month‑end close: account reconciliations, accruals, prepaids, intercompany entries, and bank reconciliations.
• Analyze cost of goods sold (COGS) and operating expenses against prior year and budget; surface variances and recommend corrective actions.
• Develop, document, and train scalable accounting processes that grow with our portfolio.
• Partner with operations, F&B, rooms, and club department heads to ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Support audit preparation, year‑end close, and ad‑hoc finance projects.
