Accountant

at  The Standard Hotel

ACCOUNTANT

Opening in early 2025, The Standard, Brussels marks the hotel brand’s third outpost in Europe. Set in the city’s Northern Quarter, The Standard, Brussels brings the brand’s design, culture and activation-driven philosophy to Belgium.
With 180 guestrooms (plus 20 residences), the modern, new-build project features many stages for The Standard’s renowned day- and nightlife. A ground-floor greenhouse welcomes guests and locals into the lobby lounge, restaurant, and terrace. Upstairs, The Rooftop features its own restaurant, bar and garden—set to become a neighbourhood destination. Throughout the building, additional public and private event spaces are platforms for happenings.
The Standard, Brussels will welcome a new set of creative, dynamic guests into the brand ethos. In Brussels, The Standard’s signature mix of playful, sophisticated, unexpected hospitality finds roots and resonances in local culture. The simple premise behind The Standard is that it is anything but. Founded in 1999, the goals of every Standard are to up the aesthetic stakes and defy convention while attending to every detail, embracing our local communities, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for our teams and, of course, delivering a smashing good time for our guests.
We are defined by our richness of personality, diversity of background and lifestyle and are now looking for an Accountant who will embody our ‘Anything but Standard’ ethos as we commence our pre-opening period.

As an Accountant at The Standard, Brussels, you will become part of a specialised finance team that provides a dedicated accounting service on behalf of the business, guests and suppliers. Working as part of a wider finance team, you will support the Director of Finance and senior team with a range of accounting duties which may include; overseeing transactions and payments relating to our accounts payable ledger, logging invoices and ensuring that payments are made promptly and supporting with month end duties.
Most importantly you will ensure you and the team adopt a flexible and hands-on approach. With a meticulous eye for detail, you never miss a thing, and you will be confident in supporting across all areas of the department and be able to deal with any queries from guests, clients and colleagues in a professional and responsive manner; that is far from anything but Standard!
So, it goes without saying that you will need to be highly social, upbeat and friendly; confident and can handle pressure well; thrive in a high-volume, high-energy environment and can manage relationships with both suppliers, guests and your colleagues with ease.
This is not a ‘Standard’ Accounting Clerk position so you will need to have miles and miles of personality and stamina, be highly social, upbeat, and friendly; confident and can handle pressure well; thrive in a high-volume, high-energy environment and able to work equally well both independently and as part of a team.
