Finance Manager

Hello Brighton

GuestHouse Hotels are growing! We have now opened the doors fully to our 4th strikingly beautiful hotel, taking pride of place right on the seafront and is Brighton's newest boutique hotel by the sea.

To support our growth and strengthen our support team, we are now looking to recruit a superstar part/qualified Finance Manager to join our central finance team based in the bustling Lanes area of Brighton.

The Job

The role of our new Finance Manager will be to support the day-to-day running of our small but ever so mighty finance team. Being the number 2 to our new Finance Director, you'll be responsible for the P&L Balance Sheets for each of our hotels (and Head Office), in addition to taking the lead on the management of our month-end processes. So, what else can you expect from this role (but not limited to), you'll:

1. Work alongside our Finance Director, General/Hotel Managers, Head Office Managers and Heads of Department to ensure that costs are controlled, revenue targets are achieved and required gross margins are achieved.
2. Take overall responsibility for Holdings company Profit & Loss and Balance Sheets.
3. Report on budgets/targets as required.
4. Manage intercompany transactions and balances.
5. Take leadership on the management of our month-end balance sheet reconciliations.
6. Help oversee annual audit & any tax/VAT Investigations.

This role would really suit someone who has worked in the hospitality/retail/service industries, but other industries would be considered.

The Perks

Some of the perks you get when working with us include (but are not limited to!):

1. An extra holiday day for your birthday
2. All breaks are paid
3. Our team has their own pantry full of food to use whenever they like. Grab a snack!
4. You can stay/dine with your family and friends in any of our hotels/restaurants at a great discount.
5. Discounts at local retailers around the Lanes.
6. Access to an industry-leading Employee Assistance Programme and support.
7. We will invest in you and the training you want to get ahead. Want to learn about daily operations? Expand your commercial acumen? Or simply increase your knowledge on health and safety? Let us know and we will ensure you learn the skills you need to progress your career.

So what does it take to work here? You must want to be the best at what you do. Be proud of doing things the right way, even when no one is looking. In other words, be:

• Hard working and driven
• Proven role-specific experience of working in a Management Accountant/Finance Manager capacity (or similar level) ideally within the hospitality industry (2 years' experience).
• Be AAT Level 4 qualified, or part-qualified CIMA/ ACA/ ACCA.
• Well-developed IT skills, including confident use of MS Office, especially Excel.
• An understanding of how to use Opera, Xero, Lightyear, Harri and Gifted systems.
• Supervisory experience would also be an advantage.
