Group Accountant

London based – 5 days per week on site

An established multi‑entity group operating across hospitality, real estate and accommodation sectors is seeking a qualified Group Accountant to join the business, reporting directly to the Managing Director.

This role would suit someone looking to step into a hands‑on, commercially focused position with plenty of accountability but without people management. Ideal for someone coming from audit or group reporting who enjoys investigating, analysing and improving controls.

The Role

You will act as the financial backbone across multiple group entities, ensuring integrity of financial information and supporting leadership decision making.

Responsibilities

• Reviewing entity‑level accounts prepared by the finance team and ensuring accuracy
• Investigating discrepancies and resolving issues across ledgers and projects
• Analysing project performance: funding, cost allocation, profitability and returns
• Reviewing and enhancing internal processes, controls and reporting discipline
• Managing the annual audit process and acting as the key point of contact for auditors
• Producing ad‑hoc financial reports and insight for senior leadership

About You

• ACA or ACCA qualified accountant
• Strong technical accounting competence, accuracy and attention to detail
• Experience gained in audit, group reporting, financial control or similar
• Ability to question, challenge and provide clarity around financial data
• Comfortable working independently and partnering with senior stakeholders
• Knowledge of hospitality, real estate or property industries is beneficial but not essential

Why Apply?

• Highly visible role working directly with the Managing Director
• Opportunity to influence processes, governance and financial discipline
• Autonomy to shape how the group’s accounting function operates
• Exposure to a diverse range of businesses and projects

If you are a technically strong accountant who enjoys digging into the detail, improving controls and working closely with leadership, this role offers a compelling platform to make an impact.
