Hotel Consulting & Valuation Division Analyst (Seeking Hotel Accountants, Revenue Managers)

Philadelphia, PA, United States

Position ** Hotel Consulting & Valuation Division Analyst (Seeking Hotel Accountants, Revenue Managers)**

**HVS Hospitality Consulting** is seeking hotel accountants that are looking to get out of the back office and move into the forefront of the hotel consulting and appraisal industry with a dynamic and collaborative team (Bachelors degree required). Those with a passion for finance, marketing, and hotel management are also welcomed to apply. With a starting salary of $60,000 (plus $5,000 in first year bonuses), the ability to grow your income is considerable, well beyond what is possible by staying in on-site operations for most. The average salary approaches $100,000 after just a few years of learning this work and becoming exceptional in its delivery. In addition, we fund 100% of the healthcare premium, with nothing deducted from your paycheck for monthly premiums, we provide a 401K match, and other valuable perks are included.

**Every Day is Different:** we consult on hotels and markets throughout the metro area and region, and no submarket or hotel is alike. If you have become tired of the monotony of your hotel operations existence, let us breathe new life into your career with a move into consulting and valuation. Our consultants travel and learn about hundreds of submarkets and hotels, and our team is able to interact with industry participants that are equally passionate about this work. No day is like the last, and we couple this experience with a great HVS trainer team and fund licensing and continuing education. Market studies, feasibility studies, and appraisals (valuations) are the mainstay of our business, and we train new associates how to expertly put together highly credible analyses and written reports to back up our conclusions. This work is a perfect career move for a college-graduate that has spent some time in hotel accounting and is ready for a change.

**Ideal candidate:** If you have your bachelors degree and at least six months of hotel experience, are a self-starter who is looking to start a career with advancement opportunities, and have a desire to work within a multicultural community, apply today.
