Los Altos Golf & Country Club invites an accomplished and forward‑thinking financial strategist to serve as its next Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This is a rare opportunity for a visionary and collaborative leader to help guide one of Northern California’s premier private clubs into its next era of growth and innovation. The CFO will bring strategic foresight and a deep understanding of long‑range financial planning, helping to shape the Club’s future through robust capital reserve management and forward‑focused modeling.

This is an onsite, highly visible role within a vibrant, family‑oriented culture that values engagement, accessibility, and teamwork. The ideal candidate will be approachable, confident, and able to balance strategic leadership with active, hands‑on involvement in the Club’s financial operations. Supported by a strong and capable Assistant Controller, the CFO will direct the overall financial vision while fostering excellence, accountability, and innovation across the department.

The role requires a technologically savvy, systems‑literate leader who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and brings professionalism, clarity, and a forward‑thinking mindset to every interaction— with the GM / COO, staff, department heads, members, and the Board.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER – POSITION OVERVIEW

The CFO at Los Altos Golf & Country Club is a hands‑on, strategic partner to the GM / COO, the Board of Directors, and the Finance and Long‑Range Planning Committees. This role is central to the Club’s continued modernization and fiscal strength, leading financial oversight, capital planning, and strategic forecasting initiatives. With a strong foundation of operational excellence already in place, the CFO will focus on elevating financial strategy, enhancing analytical tools, and ensuring long‑term sustainability through data‑driven insights and transparent communication.

This individual will lead with a “trust but verify” approach—establishing calm structure, mentorship, and clear delegation while encouraging innovation and accountability. A gifted communicator, the CFO will translate complex financial data into actionable narratives that empower leadership decisions. They will proactively advance technology and automation within a nearly paperless environment, refining digital tools and dashboards to increase clarity, speed, and precision in reporting. The CFO will also play a critical role in supporting committee relations, strengthening cross‑department collaboration, and fostering a culture of transparency, responsiveness, and member service.

A 21st‑century thinker and confident subject matter expert, the ideal candidate will possess the ability to “dial up or down” their approach as needed—whether mentoring staff, engaging with members, or leading a high‑level board discussion. This role requires a proactive, approachable, and visionary leader who is equally adept at strategy and execution, ensuring Los Altos Golf & Country Club continues to thrive financially while upholding its legacy of excellence, warmth, and community.
