Kasa is looking for a dynamic and forward-thinking accounting leader to join us as the Head of Accounting and Financial Reporting. We're seeking a Leader who doesn't just manage accounting processes but actively rethinks and optimizes them. The role is ideal for someone who is energized by the opportunity to build automation, eliminate inefficiencies, and introduce scalable financial reporting solutions.

We are seeking a candidate with a strong foundation in hotel management agreement reporting standards (USALI, GAAP), lease accounting, and GAAP reporting. A CPA license is strongly preferred. Beyond technical expertise, we're seeking a leader who thrives in a fast-paced, tech-driven environment and is eager to challenge the status quo by implementing cutting-edge accounting automation and system enhancements.

Kasa is the leading tech-enabled brand and operator of hotel and multifamily hospitality accommodations across dozens of markets nationwide. We manage properties on behalf of institutional and local property owners across various price and luxury tiers.

As Head of Accounting and Financial Reporting, you will lead our corporate and property-level accounting teams, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting for Kasa's property partners and investors. More importantly, you'll be responsible for modernizing our accounting function—introducing automation, refining reconciliation processes, and implementing scalable solutions that make our finance team more effective as we grow.

This role is an opportunity to modernize and enhance our accounting function rather than maintain legacy processes. From refining reconciliation workflows to implementing technology-driven reporting solutions, your work will directly contribute to Kasa's continued growth and operational excellence.

As the company's top accounting leader, you will drive strategic financial initiatives with direct exposure to the executive team and Board of Directors. This is a remote role, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer.

Inspire cross-functional understanding of financial stewardship plus drive technological innovation to maximize company-wide accounting accuracy.
• Improve Efficiency and Automation : Leverage new technologies to maximize financial performance and improve the speed of reconciliations, monthly close, and financial overview to our investors and partners.
