We are looking for a Finance Manager / Management Accountant to join a growing team, supporting the day-to-day financial operations of a hotel in one of Belfast’s most iconic locations. This is a unique opportunity to work across a well-established international hotel brand within a single vibrant destination.
This is a property-based Finance Manager/Management Accountant role, responsible for the day-to-day financial operations of the hotel and reporting into the Financial Controller. As the FC splits their time between Head Office and the property, this role is the primary on-site finance presence — ensuring accurate reporting, strong financial controls, and effective day-to-day support to the General Manager and hotel leadership team.
Previous hotel accounting experience is essential, given the on-site nature of the role and the level of autonomy required between FC visits.
What You’ll Do
Financial Reporting & Controls
- Prepare monthly management accounts, including review and commentary
- Manage the general ledger and day-to-day journal postings
- Carry out daily revenue checks and reconcile income audit reports
- Support the General Manager with financial performance analysis and cost control
- Act as the day-to-day finance point of contact on-site, escalating to the FC as needed
Candidate Profile
- Essential: previous experience in hotel accounting, ideally within a branded/international hotel environment
- A proven track record in a senior accounts position within hospitality
- Confident, articulate, and communicative, with strong interpersonal skills
- Comfortable working with a degree of autonomy, given the FC’s split location
- Strong process orientation with a positive approach to change
- Able to coach and develop team members
- Organised, systematic, and deadline-driven
- Analytical and detail-oriented
- Excellent Microsoft Excel skills; computer literate across multiple systems — experience with Sage Line 50, Alkimii, or Procure Wizard is an advantage
