Taylor Hospitality – Corporate Finance Team

Build the Financial Engine Behind a Growing Hospitality Platform

Exceptional hospitality experiences are powered by exceptional operations behind the scenes. At Taylor Hospitality, we believe the future of hospitality management lies in combining great service, operational excellence, and modern financial infrastructure.

As our portfolio of hotels, golf courses, restaurants, bars, and event venues continues to expand, we are investing in the systems and talent that will support the next phase of growth.

We are seeking a Finance Systems & Automation Manager — a builder, problem solver, and systems thinker who is excited to modernize the financial backbone of a dynamic hospitality platform. This role sits at the powerful intersection of finance, data, and technology. You will play a pivotal role in transforming manual workflows into automated, scalable financial systems capable of supporting 50+ properties and beyond.

Working closely with the VP of Finance, accounting team, HR/payroll, and property leadership, you will design and implement the infrastructure that powers faster insights, cleaner data, and smarter financial decisions across the organization. If you enjoy solving complex operational problems and building systems that create lasting impact, this role offers a rare opportunity to shape the future of finance within a growing hospitality company.

Financial Systems Architecture

You will design and strengthen the financial data infrastructure that connects our operational systems to the accounting environment.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing and maintaining the data architecture linking operational systems (hotel PMS, restaurant POS, golf systems, event platforms) with accounting and reporting systems.
• Improving data flows between Prism HR, Time & Attendance systems, Benefits platforms, QuickBooks Enterprise, and M3 Accounting.
• Developing standardized financial data structures across all properties to enable scalable reporting and automation.

Payroll Cost Automation

Payroll is one of the most complex operational workflows in hospitality. This role will modernize how payroll costs are allocated and billed.

You will:

• Design automated workflows to allocate payroll costs by employee, department, and property.
• Automate calculations for:
  • Benefits allocations
  • Employer payroll taxes
  • Payroll administration fees
• Replace manual payroll allocation spreadsheets with automated financial processes.

Reconciliation Automation

You will introduce automation to high-volume financial processes to improve accuracy and efficiency.

This includes implementing automated workflows for:

• Bank transaction reconciliation
• POS settlement matching
• Credit card deposit reconciliation
• Payroll transaction matching

Your work will significantly improve transaction matching between banking systems and M3 Accounting while freeing the accounting team from manual reconciliation tasks

Financial Reporting Infrastructure

A key objective of this role is enabling real-time financial visibility across the organization.

You will:

• Build automated data pipelines that support daily operational dashboards and real-time financial reporting.
• Develop executive-level reporting using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI platforms.
• Help leadership move from retrospective reporting to data-driven decision making.

Process Optimization

This role will partner closely with finance leadership to redesign core workflows.

You will:

• Identify and eliminate manual data processes within accounting operations.
• Support the transition from a 30-day financial close to a 3–5 day close cycle.
• Create systems and processes that allow the finance team to focus on analysis and strategy rather than manual data work.

What You Bring

Required Experience

• 5+ years of experience in finance systems, financial analytics, or ERP implementation
• Experience working in multi-entity accounting environments
• Strong understanding of financial data structures, including general ledger, payroll, and revenue systems
• Experience with accounting platforms such as:

• Familiarity with integrating operational systems such as:

Within your first 12–18 months, your work will help Taylor Hospitality:

• Build daily financial dashboards for executives and property leadership
• Shorten the financial close cycle from 30 days to under 5 days
