We're working with an established international travel business that's looking for an experienced Accounting Manager with a strong background in the travel industry to take ownership of its UK finance function.
This is a varied, hands-on role where you'll oversee everything from management accounts and financial reporting to IATA BSP reconciliations, statutory compliance and financial controls.
You'll work closely with the UK management team and colleagues in the US, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes and that the business has accurate, reliable financial information to work with.
The important bit? You'll need to know the travel industry already. Our client is looking for someone who understands the financial complexities of working within a travel agency or Travel Management Company, particularly IATA BSP accounting, airline settlements and industry-specific reporting requirements.
You'll have the experience and confidence to manage the day-to-day accounting function, but you'll also be happy rolling up your sleeves and getting involved in the detail.
There's plenty of flexibility around working arrangements, too. Whether you're looking for a full-time position or something that fits around three or four days a week, our client is happy to have that conversation.
The role is London-based with hybrid working, and office attendance is generally expected once a week, although there may be flexibility for fortnightly visits.
What you’ll be doing
Managing the day-to-day UK accounting function and financial reporting.
Overseeing IATA BSP reconciliations, airline settlements and ticketing transactions.
Managing travel-related payments, refunds, commissions and customer receipts.
Preparing monthly management accounts, financial statements and balance sheet reconciliations.
Leading month-end, quarter-end and year-end reporting.
Supporting budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and financial analysis.
Coordinating audits, statutory accounts, VAT and tax reporting.
Maintaining financial controls and improving accounting processes.
What we’re looking for
Previous accounting experience within a travel agency or TMC.
Strong, hands-on knowledge of IATA BSP accounting and reconciliation.
