Director of Finance & Accounting

Chicago, IL
Full Time
Hotel Rehabs
Executive

Director of Finance & Accounting (Construction)

This role is the head of Finance & Accounting and a member of the Hotel Rehabs leadership team from day one. You’ll own our financial strategy, lead and grow the F&A department, and be a true business partner driving the future of the company.

Construction is messy. Renovating hotels nationwide is even messier. That’s why Hotel Rehabs doesn’t need just a “finance person.” We need a leader who can dive into the details, zoom out to the big picture, and help us grow from $50MM to what’s next.

Hotel Rehabs is a nationwide turn-key hotel renovation contractor and a five-time Inc. 5000 honoree. We don’t just renovate properties—we transform Hilton, Marriott, and IHG hotels into assets that drive revenue, elevate guest experience, and stand out in competitive markets.

This role is part Controller, part Director, part CFO. One day you’re in the weeds solving project accounting challenges, the next you’re sitting at the table with the CEO and COO shaping long-term strategy. You’ll lead three sharp F&A team members (soon to be four), build scalable systems, and give the company the financial visibility to make smarter, faster decisions.

If you’re looking for a cushy CFO seat, this isn’t it. If you’re excited to build, solve, and lead—keep reading.

Why This Role Matters
