Job Description

CFO Opportunity – Private Country Club | West Palm Beach, FL

Compensation: $260,000–$280,000 + Executive Benefits


We’re recruiting a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on behalf of an exclusive, highly regarded country club in the West Palm Beach area. This is a rare chance to lead finance at a property with a national reputation for excellence, stability, and a membership that demands and funds a world-class experience.


This isn’t just another finance seat. It’s a strategic, C-suite opportunity where you’ll partner directly with the GM/COO and Board to shape the long-term vision of a property that operates more like a luxury resort than your typical club. With significant capital investment, a healthy balance sheet, and a strong team already in place, your impact will be immediate and highly visible.


What You’ll Lead:


  • Financial strategy, forecasting, and multi-year planning across all departments
  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting to leadership and Board
  • Oversight of accounting, payroll, and purchasing teams
  • Budgeting, CapEx, and project analysis for club enhancements
  • Internal controls, audit readiness, and risk mitigation
  • Membership financial modeling and dues structuring
  • Relationship-building with department heads and the Finance Committee
  • Technology upgrades (ERP, POS, automation, etc.) that bring clarity and speed to operations


What We’re Looking For:


  • A proven finance executive (10+ years), ideally with hospitality, luxury resort, private club, or upscale HOA/real estate experience
  • CPA or MBA preferred
  • A leader who can see both the big picture and the fine print—strategic thinker with operational follow-through
  • Highly adept at boardroom communication, team mentorship, and cross-functional leadership
  • Strong presence, excellent judgment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a high-touch environment
  • Bonus points for candidates who’ve led finance through construction projects, renovation planning, or new amenity development


Perks & Culture:


  • Salary in the $260K–$280K range
  • Generous executive benefits package
  • High-autonomy role with Board visibility
  • Discretion, respect, and long-term opportunity in one of Florida’s most desirable regions


This search is being handled exclusively and confidentially by Gecko Hospitality. If this sounds like the type of legacy-defining leadership role you’re ready for, we’d love to connect.
