What You’ll Do
• Own the general ledger, month-end and year-end close, and department-level P&Ls across dining, bar,

• Build the annual budget, a rolling 12-month forecast, and a 13-week cash flow model
• Manage dues billing, member statements, house accounts, F&B credit tracking, and collections
• Build pro formas for private events and programs — venue fee, per-person food and bar, staffing, and
true contribution margin — then report actuals against them
• Control food and beverage costs: plate costing, pour cost, par levels, and variance investigation
• Run scheduled inventory audits across kitchen, bar, poolside cafe, and pro shop — full physical counts,
cycle counts, and unannounced spot checks — reconciled against purchases and POS depletion

storage security and key/access control, and expiration and waste tracking

department heads

activity to POS and sales
• Process payroll for salaried, hourly, seasonal, and tipped staff, including tip pooling in compliance with NJ
wage law
• Monitor labor cost as a percentage of revenue and build staffing models tied to forecasted volume
• Maintain sales tax filings, insurance and liquor license records, and internal controls with proper
segregation of duties
• Coordinate cross-functionally with department heads and team leaders — kitchen, bar, aquatics, tennis,
events, and front of house — to set, communicate, and execute cost and revenue goals for each
department
• Train team leaders on budget ownership, cost controls, inventory procedures, and revenue targets, and
run regular check-ins on performance against objectives
• Deliver a monthly financial package to ownership with variance commentary in plain language

Preferred
