Corporate Controller Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

As a recognized leader in the hospitality industry, Generation Hospitality Group brings unparalleled expertise in marketing, sales, operations and revenue management.

The Corporate Controller leads the accounting function for Generation Hospitality Group's portfolio of managed hotel properties. This role owns the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of the monthly close process across the portfolio, drives system and process improvements that allow GHG's accounting infrastructure to scale, and leads the team and outsourced partners responsible for day-to-day accounting execution.

Portfolio-level finance functions, including forecasting, budgeting, and financial analysis, are owned by the VP of FP&A. The Corporate Controller provides accurate, timely accounting data to support that work but does not own it.
