Canopy by Hilton San Antonio River Walk is a lifestyle hotel rooted in the energy and culture of one of Texas's most celebrated cities. Located steps from the iconic San Antonio River Walk, the Canopy San Antonio is a gathering place for locals and travelers alike — and a property where every department, including Finance, plays a visible and strategic role in the hotel's success.

About the role

We are hiring a Director of Finance to lead the accounting and financial operations of this premium lifestyle hotel in San Antonio, Texas. This is an ideal next step for a senior hotel accountant, accounting manager, or assistant director of finance who is ready to step into their first Director of Finance role — and who brings the strategic mindset, collaborative approach, and financial acumen to serve as a true business partner to the hotel's leadership team.

Responsibilities

• Lead all day-to-day operations of the hotel accounting office at Canopy by Hilton San Antonio — including Accounts Payable, cash management, and financial reporting functions
• Track, evaluate, and interpret hotel financial performance data — making strategic recommendations to maximize profitability and ensure full compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (USALI)
• Serve as a strategic financial business partner to the hotel's senior leadership team — providing analysis, insight, and practical cost-versus-benefit guidance that directly influences hotel performance and decision-making
• Support a strong accounting and operational control environment to safeguard hotel assets, improve operational efficiency, and manage business risk across all departments
• Oversee month-end and year-end close processes, financial audits, tax compliance, and bookkeeping functions in accordance with White Lodging standards and Hilton brand requirements
• Perform other reasonable duties as required by hotel leadership

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is required
• Prior experience as a hotel accountant, accounting manager, assistant director of finance, or senior accounting professional — hospitality industry experience strongly preferred
• A strategic, analytically-minded approach to hotel finance — you think beyond the numbers to understand how accounting intersects with operations, revenue management, and long-term hotel performance
• A collaborative, consultative leadership style — you are as comfortable presenting financial insights to a General Manager as you are working alongside department heads to drive cost efficiency
• A thorough understanding of hotel accounting processes, GAAP compliance, USALI reporting standards, and how hotel operations intersect with financial performance
• An unwavering commitment to accuracy, compliance, and financial controls in a premium hotel environment
• Proficiency in hotel accounting software and financial reporting systems — experience with platforms common to Hilton-managed or White Lodging-operated properties a plus
