Director of Finance – Hotel/Hospitality

Who We Are

At Q Center, we create exceptional experiences through seamless execution, operational excellence, and a commitment to service. As a full-service hotel, conference center and event destination, our success depends on strong cross-functional leadership, financial discipline, and strategic decision-making.

We believe great hospitality is powered by thoughtful strategy behind the scenes. Our leaders combine analytical rigor with operational partnership to ensure the business performs at the highest level — financially and operationally.

If you’re a strategic finance leader who thrives at the intersection of analytics, operations, and executive influence, this is a role where your impact will be visible and measurable.

This role goes beyond accounting oversight. You will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team, partnering with department heads to translate financial insights into operational action. You will lead budgeting, forecasting, audits, payroll, internal controls, capital planning, and long-term financial strategy — ensuring the organization is positioned for sustained performance and growth.
