Financial Controller

Core Responsibilities 

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.

Close, Controls, and Financial Integrity

• 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

CFO-Level Reporting and Decision Support

• 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

Cash, Working Capital, and Process Scale

• 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: QuickBooks Online, Divvy, Guesty, HubSpot, Zuper

Tax and Compliance Coordination

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

Systems and Team Enablement

• 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

Qualifications

• 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 QuickBooks 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
