Who We Are
At Gibbons Whistler, we’re all about Making People Happy. Since 1979, we have been the backbone of Whistler hospitality bringing people together through unforgettable experiences.
Everything we do is rooted in our core values: Encourage Trust, Have Fun, Show Kindness, Lead With Purpose, and Commit to Excellence.
The Opportunity
Gibbons Whistler is seeking a strategic and detail-driven Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead our financial operations and contribute to our company’s long-term success. This executive leadership role is accountable for shaping and executing our financial strategy, ensuring fiscal discipline, and aligning financial planning with the company’s vision and growth goals.
What We’re Really Looking For
You’ve built or led companies where after-tax ROIC exceeded 25%
You operate like a capital allocator—not just a budget manager
You’ve run finance like a value creation lab, not a cost center
You’re comfortable navigating and deploying float-based revenue models, presale cash flows, and deferred revenue structures
You bring a mini-CEO mindset—able to zoom from balance sheet to bar shift
Cultural Alignment Matters
This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll:
Participate in bar reviews, venue audits, and guest journey mapping
Hold teams (including us) accountable to the Gibbons Way and GBS performance standards
Challenge bad growth and protect the long-term brand
How We’ll Choose You
We won’t ask for your résumé—we’ll ask:
“What’s your ROIC hurdle and why?”
“How do you tie capital strategy to guest experience?”
“What’s your best and worst investment decision?”
You'll be invited to:
Solve our Float Simulation Challenge: “How would you deploy $25M in pre-sale revenue over 18 months?”
Design a 3-year balance-sheet expansion plan for one of our verticals
Present your capital allocation framework and guest flywheel metrics live
Your Source Code
You should know—or want to learn deeply—the principles behind:
Berkshire Hathaway’s allocation discipline
Costco’s float model
Constellation Software’s decentralized playbook
LVMH’s IP-driven vertical scaling
Toyota’s frontline-led execution model
Gibbons’ own Float Fund flywheel
Guardrails You’ll Live By
26.5% equity CAGR
≥25% after-tax ROIC baseline
Exceptions: only when funded ≥60% by float or debt <5% after-tax
Everything must support our Après Pass quotas and 6 North Stars
This Is the Game
You're not just a CFO.
You're the financial co-architect of an empire rooted in love, vision, precision, and trust—with a 12-year run toward $1.6B.
