Financial Controller | Horseshoe Bay Resort
About The Position
As Financial Controller, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact at one of Texas' most iconic resort destinations. This is more than a leadership role in finance; it's a chance to partner with an experienced executive team, influence strategic business decisions, and help drive the financial success of a dynamic, full-service resort known for delivering exceptional guest experiences. We are seeking an experienced Controller to join a large, complex resort operation and serve as a key finance leader supporting day-to-day operations. This role functions as the right hand to the Director of Finance, combining deep accounting expertise with strong operational partnership across the property. This is not a traditional back-office accounting role. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in resort or complex hospitality environments and thrives in a highly operational, multi-department setting—translating financial insight into actionable business results across the resort.
