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.

• Manage the annual audit process and act as the key point of contact for auditors
• Produce ad‑hoc financial reports and insights 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

• 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
