Monitor outstanding debt, follow up with customers and support improvements in debtor days.
Process approved invoices and payment runs, ensuring transactions are accurately coded and recorded.
Support payroll productivity reporting by maintaining accurate daily sales information.
Assist with accrual analysis and provide financial information to support the wider finance team.
Work closely with operational managers, providing financial analysis and responding to queries.

Previous experience in an accounting or finance role, ideally within hospitality or a similarly fast-paced environment.
Strong numerical skills and excellent attention to detail.
Competent use of Microsoft 365 applications, particularly Excel.
An organised and self-motivated approach, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines.
Confidence working independently while contributing positively to a wider team.
Experience with purchase-to-pay, invoice processing or purchase order systems would be advantageous.
Experience using an accounting system such as NetSuite, or a similar platform, would also be beneficial.
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established hospitality business in a varied Finance Assistant role, offering exposure to both operational finance and financial reporting.
