Provide financial insight, forecasting and recommendations to support the hotel's continued growth.

Proven ability to prepare accounts to trial balance stage and produce monthly management accounts. Experience managing payroll for a sizeable workforce. Strong working knowledge of Sage accounting software. Excellent understanding of financial controls, reconciliations and reporting. Commercially astute, with the ability to analyse margins, identify trends and recommend improvements.

Highly organised, accurate and comfortable managing a busy finance function independently. Confident communicating financial information to senior management.
