WHY LAMINGTON GROUP

Care, made daily.

Lamington Group is a London-based hospitality company operating a growing portfolio of properties. We are on a journey to 5,000 net-zero rooms, powered by technology that puts people first. Our technology function is small, ambitious, and central to how we scale. We believe in foundations before innovation, practical AI that people actually use, and building repeatable capability rather than one-off projects.

We are looking for people who care about the work in front of them and the people around them. If that sounds like you, keep reading.

What's the role about?

You sit at the financial pulse of Lamington Group, holding the numbers that every other decision in the business leans on. This role isn't about quietly working a queue of invoices in the corner; it is about taking real ownership of the ledgers, the cash position and the revenue story, understanding where each figure comes from, and making sure the picture we report is the picture that's actually true.

Your work has a direct, visible impact on everything under our roof. You move revenue journals from the operating system into Sun Systems, keeping the integrations honest and the reporting accurate, and when something doesn't tie you chase it down rather than carry it forward. You are the first point of contact for RES on anything revenue-related, so the answer people get is your answer.

You reconcile the receivables ledger, the purchase ledger and the bank, and you close those loops properly, because a clean reconciliation is what lets a General Manager trust their P&L and a supplier trust us.

Your day is active, varied and closer to the operation than most finance roles. You watch the cash daily, making sure there are sufficient funds across the bank accounts to cover what's coming, and you keep the direct debits, standing orders and Revolut pots funded and moving without drama. You process senior managers' credit card expenditure each month, handle third-party demands, and keep the utilities accounts current so no property is ever caught out by a payment nobody was tracking.

At month-end you pull your weight on the close, and in between you pick up the ad-hoc work the department throws up, because in a business this pace something always comes up.

Alongside the routine you keep communication flowing cleanly - with RES, with suppliers, with the property teams and with the wider head office departments - explaining a number as readily as you produce it. Accuracy is the baseline; being the person others can ask is the difference.

This role gives back real exposure to how a growing hospitality group actually runs its money: multi-entity ledgers, live cash management and a genuine seat at month-end rather than a view of it from outside. You will strengthen your technical accounting foundations, your commercial understanding of the operation, and your confidence dealing directly with people at every level of the business.

We prioritise internal development and real responsibility, making this a strong step for someone building towards a fully qualified finance career inside a company that runs on straight talking and trust.

Five things we hire for.

These are the Lamington Group Values. We use them across every role in the Group, from Maintenance to Front of House to Support Office positions. If three or more of these read like you on a good day, this is your kind of place.

Use Instinct. You read what's needed and act on it. You back human judgement, the unmet need, the early signal, the moment of hesitation, with care.

Own It. You finish what you start. You are honest about what works and what doesn't. The thing you spotted is yours until it's fixed.

Include All. You build trust quickly with guests, colleagues and partners. You are open, real, and you treat the team like a team.

Stay Curious. You ask why. You keep learning the building, the systems, the neighbourhood. You'd rather know how something works than fake it.

Think Big. You reject 'good enough'. You spot patterns and bring better ideas, even when the small fix would do.
