About The Position

BOLT FARM is building America’s most iconic romantic luxury retreat brand: nature-immersed, high-experience, and emotionally transformative. Backed by 3,300+ five-star reviews, 1M+ followers, and features across Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and Netflix, we’re scaling from a high-performing flagship into a national portfolio. If you want to operate at the ground floor of a brand with real momentum, high standards, and a team obsessed with doing it right, this is your seat. 🚀 Build the financial backbone of a high-growth brand. This is not a maintenance-only accounting seat. You will help bring finance fully in-house and build the accounting foundation, reporting rhythm, controls, and cash-flow discipline that allow BOLT FARM to scale with confidence. Own numbers leadership can trust. Leadership needs financials that are accurate, reconciled, defensible, and useful. Your work will directly shape how the company understands cash, margin, spend, profitability, and growth decisions. Turn complexity into clean systems. You will work across multiple entities, departments, locations, vendors, budgets, capital needs, and tax/compliance requirements — and turn that complexity into structure. Use finance as an operating advantage. Clean books are the floor. The goal is better cash visibility, tighter controls, smarter spending, faster reporting, stronger margins, and better decisions. Partner directly with leadership. You will work closely with the CEO, department leaders, banks, lenders, advisors, and our technical team to make finance sharper, faster, and more scalable. Leverage AI, automation, and better tools. We want someone who is energized by reducing manual work, improving reporting, and using technology wisely — while still owning the accuracy of every number.

Responsibilities

Own the books across all entities, including the general ledger, chart of accounts, entity-level accuracy, intercompany transactions, reconciliations, and multi-entity consolidation.
Run month-end and year-end close with discipline, documentation, and a clear path to a faster close cycle over time without sacrificing accuracy.
