Senior Hotel Accountant

Responsibilities

• Manage the accounting operations for a Los Cabos five-star or ultra-luxury resort: own the monthly close process, manage the revenue accounting reconciliation between the PMS and the accounting system, produce the departmental P&L, and maintain the SAT CFDI compliance at the precision required for a high-revenue hospitality entity
• Execute the complex payroll calculation for a premium employer with multiple benefit components: the Los Cabos luxury resort payroll includes base salary, housing allowance, transport subsidy, language bonus, service charge distribution, overtime, and relocation support components — the senior accountant manages the calculation accuracy for each component for every employee
• Manage the IMSS Baja California Sur zone compliance at scale: process the monthly SUA employer quota calculation, manage the IMSS IDSE alta/baja for the resort's high-turnover relocation workforce, and maintain the RT risk classification records for a resort with diverse job risk categories
• Produce the USD and MXN dual-currency revenue analysis that the resort's international ownership requires: revenue metrics (RevPAR, ADR, TRevPAR) are tracked in both pesos and USD by the international management company — the senior accountant maintains the dual-currency revenue report and the exchange rate management accounting
• Manage the service charge accounting and distribution: the Los Cabos ultra-luxury resort's service charge (cargo por servicio) is a significant guest-facing charge and a meaningful employee benefit — the accountant manages the collection accounting, the eligible employee distribution calculation, and the payroll disbursement of the service charge pool
• Coordinate the annual tax provision with the resort's fiscal advisor and manage the Baja California Sur state hotel tax (Impuesto sobre Hospedaje) reporting

Requirements

• Senior hotel accounting experience; luxury or ultra-luxury resort preferred
• SAT CFDI compliance and hotel revenue accounting
• USD/MXN dual-currency accounting in an international ownership context
• Service charge accounting and distribution management
• IMSS Baja California Sur zone compliance; English and Spanish bilingual

Benefits

• Housing allowance MXN 2,500/month
• Staff meals
• Career development toward Hotel Controller and Finance Director

Work environment

Senior hotel accountant at a Los Cabos five-star or ultra-luxury resort. Complex payroll management, dual-currency revenue accounting, service charge distribution, and IMSS compliance in Mexico's highest-ADR and most internationally scrutinized hotel market.

About the role

The Los Cabos senior hotel accountant who closes the February books — peak season, 100% occupancy, USD 1,800 ADR, service charge pool at MXN 420,000 for the month, housing allowances for 85 relocated employees — who reconciles every revenue line, calculates the service charge distribution for 340 eligible employees, produces the P&L by March 7, and delivers the dual-currency ownership report in the format the New York-based management company requires — has executed the financial close for one of the most revenue-intense hotel operating months in Mexican hospitality. The management company that receives this report on time, accurate to the dollar, with the variance commentary they need to explain the Q1 performance to their investors, trusts the Los Cabos accounting team. That trust is built one accurate close at a time.
