We are one of the fastest-growing developers of investment-grade luxury villas in Phuket and Koh Samui. With a 2026 pipeline of 150+ new villas and expansion into Bali, Mykonos and Ibiza.
Role Purpose
We are seeking an exceptionally high-caliber Fractional CFO with deep expertise in luxury hospitality and resort real estate in Thailand to serve as the strategic financial architect for SKHAI's growth. This senior leadership role (distinct from operational accounting) is tailored for a former Big-4 trained, publicly listed or boutique luxury developer CFO seeking high-impact, flexible engagement to drive capital deployment for island-based luxury projects.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the lead financial strategist for luxury villa developments, hotel resorts, and managed residences in Phuket and Koh Samui and future locations.
Spearhead capital raising (debt & equity): syndicated loans from Thai/international banks, villa presale financing, JV partnerships with hospitality operators (e.g., Accor/Novotel affiliates), private equity for resort expansions, SPV structures for offshore investors, and family office syndications
Develop and refine advanced project-finance models tailored to luxury real estate (DCF with presale waterfalls, Argus for villa phasing, yield projections for hotel-managed units)
Manage treasury operations, seasonal cash-flow forecasting (peak tourism impacts), and currency hedging (THB/USD/EUR for international buyers)
Establish robust financial controls, risk frameworks (e.g., construction delays, tourism volatility), and ESG compliance for sustainable luxury developments
Collaborate with legal on land acquisition due diligence, off-plan sales contracts, and hospitality JV agreements
Elevate the in-house finance team through mentoring and process automation
Required Qualifications & Experience (Non-Negotiable)
15+ years in finance, including 7+ years as CFO (or SVP Finance) for a Thai luxury real estate/hospitality developer with projects valued at USD 10-30 mil + (e.g., villa communities or boutique resorts)
Mastery of Argus Enterprise/Developer for luxury villa modeling, plus Excel-based waterfalls for promoting structures in hospitality JVs
Experience with hospitality REITs or hotel asset listings on SET; prior BOI-approved projects highly valued
Big-4 background (PwC, EY, Deloitte, KPMG) in real estate advisory, transaction services, or hospitality deals
CPA, CFA, or equivalent; MBA in Finance required
Native English proficiency ( French is a Plus ) for investor pitches, contracts, and board materials
Personality & Cultural Fit
Polished executive demeanor to engage ultra-luxury stakeholders and international partners
Visionary strategist balancing bold expansion (e.g., Bali pipeline) with prudent risk management in volatile tourism sectors
Adaptable and hands-on for fast-paced island operations, yet adept at empowering teams
Unwavering ethics and a stellar reputation in real estate circles
