Accounts Assistant in London

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 are looking for people who care about the work in front of them and the people around them. This role sits 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; 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 accurate.

Your work has a direct, visible impact on everything under our roof. You will move revenue journals from the operating system into Sun Systems, keeping the integrations honest and the reporting accurate. You will be the first point of contact for RES on anything revenue-related, reconciling the receivables ledger, the purchase ledger, and the bank.

Your day will be active and varied, closer to the operation than most finance roles. You will watch the cash daily, ensuring there are sufficient funds across the bank accounts to cover what's coming, process senior managers' credit card expenditure each month, handle third-party demands, and keep the utilities accounts current.

Alongside the routine, you will keep communication flowing cleanly with RES, suppliers, property teams, and wider head office departments. Accuracy is the baseline; being the person others can ask is the difference. This role provides exposure to how a growing hospitality group runs its money: multi-entity ledgers, live cash management, and a genuine seat at month-end.

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 values straight talking and trust.

Five things we hire for:

• Use Instinct: You read what's needed and act on it.
• Own It: You finish what you start and are honest about what works and what doesn't.
• Include All: You build trust quickly with guests, colleagues, and partners.
• Stay Curious: You ask why and keep learning.
• Think Big: You reject 'good enough' and bring better ideas.

On a good day, you might:

• Push the revenue journals across from the operating system into Sun Systems.
• Work through the receivables ledger and clear a reconciliation.
• Match off the purchase ledger with a supplier.
• Run the bank reconciliations and ensure the cash position is accurate.
• Check the accounts first thing to ensure sufficient funds are available.
• Process a month's worth of senior managers' card spend.
• Square off a utilities account for a property.
• Get stuck into month-end close alongside the team.

Experience that fits the role:

• Transfer revenue journals from the operating system to Sun Systems.
• Act as the first point of contact for RES on all revenue-related enquiries.
• Reconcile the receivables ledger and purchase ledger.
• Perform bank reconciliations.
• Manage third-party demands and ensure sufficient funds are available across bank accounts.
• Monitor Revolut card balances and manage utilities accounts.
• Assist with month-end close and undertake additional tasks as needed.

What you get back:

• Team that means it, with hands-on leaders focused on your well-being and professional growth.
• Growth that's real, with opportunities for internal development and progression.
• Structured onboarding and hands-on training to build confidence.
• Additional annual leave that grows with length of service and company benefits.
• Access friends-and-family rates across our hometels and wider group properties.
• Competitive benefits package including pension contributions and wellbeing initiatives.

Our hiring process:

• Apply by sending your CV and a few lines on why this role caught your eye.
• First conversation: a 30-minute call with the hiring manager.
• On-site visit to meet the team and see the office.
• Offer if it's a fit on both sides.
