Accounting Director (Hospitality Industry)
The Role
Howard is looking for an Accounting Director to lead our Hospitality vertical. You will oversee the financial systems for multi-property and multi-concept hospitality clients, ensuring their operations are supported by reliable data and repeatable processes.
You will manage a large team of accounting professionals and act as the senior point of contact for a portfolio of growth-stage clients. Your goal is to move clients from financial chaos to quiet control.
Core Responsibilities
ā¢ System Oversight: Design and maintain centralized financial systems for hospitality operators ($5-50M) that hold under the pressure of rapid scaling.
ā¢ Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and audit a large accounting team. Ensure every deliverable meets Howard's standards for accuracy and composure.
ā¢ Vertical Performance: Direct the financial health of the Hospitality vertical. This includes controlled payroll, predictable multi-unit reporting, and cash flow visibility.
ā¢ Client Advisory: Provide senior-level perspective. Help founders and operators see the full picture so they can make decisions with confidence.
ā¢ Operational Stability: Standardize documented processes across the vertical to remove single points of failure and dependencies on individuals.
Requirements
ā¢ Experience: 10+ years in senior accounting roles, with a dedicated focus on the hospitality industry (multi-unit restaurants, hotels, or venues).
ā¢ Leadership: Proven track record of managing large, high-performing teams in a fast-paced environment.
ā¢ Technical Proficiency: Mastery of GAAP, complex payroll structures, and multi-entity consolidations.
ā¢ Mindset: You think like an owner. You are deliberate, selective, and prefer a one-sentence solution to a three-page explanation.
ā¢ Communication: Clear, confident, and exact. You respect the financial literacy of our clients and avoid jargon.
