Assistant Controller, Boca Raton

Job Description Job Description Assistant Controller
Upscale Hotel Property
We are working with a well-established hospitality group operating multiple full-service properties.
The foundation is in place.
The expectation now is stronger financial discipline, sharper reporting, and tighter alignment between finance and operations.
They are looking for an Assistant Controller who can step in, take ownership of the day-to-day accounting flow, and become a reliable partner to both the Controller and operational leadership.
If you have experience closing books in a high-volume hospitality environment and want broader exposure across multiple properties, this is a strong step forward.
You will be directly involved in the financial rhythm of the business, not observing it from a distance.
Your focus will include:
Owning key parts of the month-end close across multiple properties
Ensuring financials are accurate, timely, and aligned with GAAP
Working closely with department leaders to explain results, not just report them
Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis with a clear understanding of operational drivers
Maintaining integrity of the general ledger and strengthening reconciliation processes
Assisting with audit preparation and ensuring documentation is clean and defensible
Identifying inefficiencies in current processes and tightening them where needed
This is a hands-on role.
You will be in the details, but also expected to understand the bigger picture.
It is not a purely transactional accounting position
It is not isolated from operations
It is not a role where you wait for direction
What They Are Looking For
Background in hospitality accounting, ideally within a hotel or multi-unit environment
Experience managing or heavily supporting month-end close
Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting
Comfort working across multiple departments and personalities
Ability to stay organized and accurate in a fast-paced setting
Experience with ERP systems and property-level systems such as PMS or POS platforms
This role suits someone who has outgrown a Senior Accountant position or is currently in an Assistant Controller role and wants broader exposure.
Direct exposure to leadership and decision-making
Multi-property experience that strengthens your long-term profile
Opportunity to grow into a Controller-level position over time
A role where your work impacts operations, not just reports
This position operates in a fast-moving hospitality environment.
Accuracy and timeliness matter, especially during closing cycles.
The right person will be comfortable managing priorities and maintaining a high standard under pressure.
