Club Accountant

About Us Sunnyside Country Club is a private club in Fresno offering golf, dining, and social experiences for our members and their families. We're looking for an experienced Club Accountant to take ownership of our finance operations and serve as the senior accounting professional on site.

Position Summary Reporting directly to the General Manager, the Club Accountant is responsible for the full accounting cycle of the club. This is a hands-on role with significant autonomy — you'll run day-to-day accounting, close the books each month, and partner with department heads across golf, food & beverage, and membership. You'll work alongside our part-time bookkeeper, who supports transactional tasks. This position offers strong visibility with club leadership and the Finance Committee, and is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for ownership of a finance function without the overhead of a large corporate environment.
