Financial Leadership at the Heart of Niagara's Most Iconic Hospitality Empire

Finance | Head Office (CNH) | Niagara Falls, Ontario

Numbers tell a story - and at Canadian Niagara Hotels, that story unfolds across world-renowned hotels, celebrated restaurants, and unforgettable guest experiences just steps from the Falls. We are looking for a Controller who does not simply close the books, but reads the narrative behind them: a finance leader fluent in data, energized by technology, and ready to turn insight into real business impact.

Who We Are The Canadian Niagara Hotels Group of Companies is one of Canada's largest, most successful, and diversified entertainment and hospitality organizations. With over 3,500 talented professionals across our business units, we offer a distinctive collection of world-renowned hotels, restaurant brands, cafes, and retail - all situated just steps from the iconic Niagara Falls.

Our portfolio includes globally recognized hotel brands such as Marriott, Sheraton, and The Brock - Tapestry by Hilton, alongside premier dining destinations including Massimo's Italian, Fallsview Restaurant, Prime Steakhouse, Morton's Grille, Milestones Grill + Bar, Hard Rock Cafe, and Rainforest Cafe - plus popular retail and cafe experiences from Starbucks to Hershey. Add full-service spas, rooftop and indoor pools, an indoor waterpark, and expansive event spaces, and you have a portfolio unlike any other in the country.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a back-office scorekeeping job. As Controller, you sit at the intersection of finance, technology, and operations - leading a talented team, modernizing how we work, and giving our operators the intelligence they need to win. You will own the integrity of the numbers and the innovation behind them, building a finance function that is faster, sharper, and more strategic than ever before.

What You'll Own

- Lead, mentor, and inspire a large, multi-property finance team - building a culture of excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement.
- Drive a tight, accurate, and increasingly automated month-end and year-end close across multiple business units.




- Own the monthly Financial Review with operations - tracking Business Plan objectives, action items, and follow-ups that keep every outlet accountable.
- Deliver consistent, insight-rich financial statements, dashboards, and labour KPI reporting that operators actually use to make decisions.
- Partner with operations to drive revenue, control costs, and elevate guest satisfaction - translating financial insight into operational wins.
- Lead the annual budget and forecasting process, aligning each outlet's plan with enterprise objectives.
- Safeguard company assets through strong internal controls and best practices adopted consistently across all entities.
- Oversee year-end audits, reviews, and tax filings - delivered accurately and on time.

The AI & BI Edge - Where Finance Meets the Future We are transforming finance into a data-driven, technology-enabled powerhouse - and you will lead the charge.
- Champion the finance function's evolution: modern business intelligence tooling (Power BI, Tableau, or similar) turning raw data into live, self-serve dashboards for leaders across the company.
- Harness AI and machine learning to automate reconciliations, streamline the close, forecast demand and revenue, and flag anomalies before they become problems.
- Turn data into decisions - translating advanced analytics and machine-generated insight into clear, plain-language guidance operators can act on today.
- Partner with IT and operations to integrate PMS, POS, and ERP data into a single source of financial truth.
- Stay ahead of the curve on emerging finance technology, responsibly piloting new tools that boost accuracy, speed, and insight.

Hospitality & Hotel Finance Fluency
- Deep understanding of hotel and hospitality financials - departmental P&Ls;, reporting standards, and multi-outlet consolidations.
- Command of the metrics that drive our business: RevPAR, ADR, occupancy, flow-through, GOP, and F&B; / labour cost controls.
- Experience navigating the complexity of a multi-property, multi-brand environment spanning hotels, restaurants, retail, and attractions.
- Ability to connect operational levers - rooms, food & beverage, spa, events, retail - to their financial outcomes.

What You Bring
- CPA designation.
- 5+ years of progressive post-qualification experience, including proven leadership of a finance team.
- A genuine curiosity for technology - hands-on comfort with BI tools and a working understanding of how AI can elevate finance.
- Hospitality or hotel finance experience (a strong asset),



or a service-oriented background with the appetite to master it.
- Advanced Excel skills and strong financial-systems savvy.
- Sharp business acumen, exceptional attention to detail, and first-class analytical and problem-solving skills.
- A collaborative, people-first leadership style that grows teams and retains talent.
