• Provide real-time guidance on labor, COGS, purchasing, and controllables.

• Ensure operators understand their numbers and are accountable to them.

• Serve as a liaison between operations and corporate accounting.

• Audit comps, voids, discounts, promos, and check edits daily.

• Ensure all sales are properly routed to the correct categories across all brands.

• Identify irregularities, investigate discrepancies, and communicate findings to operators for correction.

• Strengthen controls around POS workflows and guest check management.

• Oversee the full inventory process across multiple brands.

• Implement stronger structure, consistency, and discipline around inventories.

• Validate COGS accuracy, investigate gaps, and drive corrective actions.

• Support teams in improving ordering, waste management, and cost controls.

• Lead monthly P&L reviews with operators and leadership.

• Identify trends, variances, and actionable opportunities.

• Create clear, digestible reporting for both finance and non-finance stakeholders.

• Work closely with POS, accounting, and reporting systems (Toast, SevenRooms, QuickBooks, etc.).

• Strengthen financial processes, tighten controls, and eliminate inefficiencies.

• Support implementation of new financial tools and procedures as the group grows.

• 4–8+ years of financial management or controller experience (hospitality preferred).

• Strong understanding of restaurant or hotel P&Ls, inventory systems, and cost control.

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and relentless about accuracy and follow-through.

• Comfortable working closely with operators in a fast-paced, multi-unit environment.

• Strong communication skills and ability to drive accountability with non-finance teams.

• Proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets and financial reporting tools.

• Ability to manage multiple concepts, deadlines, and priorities without dropping the ball.
