About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and commercially minded Financial Controller to join a prominent city-centre hotel, part of a well-established and growing hospitality group. With a major expansion project currently underway, this is a key leadership role, responsible for all aspects of financial control, reporting, and strategic planning at the property.
The position is ideal for someone with prior experience in hospitality finance—or for a qualified accountant from a small or medium-sized practice who is looking to transition into a fast-paced, dynamic operational environment and has a genuine interest in the hospitality industry.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic & Financial Oversight
* Lead the end-to-end finance function of the hotel, including budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and cash flow.
* Provide financial leadership and insight to support the hotel’s operational and commercial strategy.
* Support the planning and financial management of a major on-site expansion, including capital expenditure tracking and group reporting.
* Ensure timely and accurate preparation of monthly accounts and financial statements.
* Maintain robust internal controls, compliance with accounting standards, and group policies.
* Liaise with auditors, tax advisors, and group finance on statutory filings and annual audits.
Business Partnering
* Work closely with the General Manager and heads of department to manage costs, optimise revenues, and drive profitability.
* Analyse performance metrics, support pricing and sales decisions, and provide commercial recommendations.
Team Management
* Lead, mentor, and develop a finance team of 3–4, fostering high performance and ownership.
* Oversee daily finance operations including payroll, accounts payable/receivable, and revenue management.
Group Engagement
* Act as key liaison between the hotel and the wider group finance team.
* Contribute to group initiatives, finance system upgrades, and best practice rollouts.
Requirements
* Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA / CPA).
* Experience in hospitality finance, OR strong candidates from small/medium-sized accountancy firms with a demonstrable interest in hotels or leisure sectors.
* Strong technical accounting skills and business acumen.
* Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.
* Comfortable working in a hands-on role, with the capacity to manage daily operations and strategic planning.
* Proficiency in Excel and exposure to accounting/ERP systems; hotel systems (e.g. Opera, Sage, Sun) a plus.
