Job Description

What you’ll do…

• Set up the finance function for a brand-new hotel – chart of accounts, USALI reporting, controls, systems and the team.
• Take ultimate responsibility for accurate records, statutory accounts and reporting; the hotel is self-accounting.
• Own Australian tax and statutory compliance – GST and BAS, FBT, payroll tax, STP, superannuation and the annual audit.
• Lead planning, budgeting and forecasting, and partner the GM on strategy, value opportunities and owner reporting.
• Lead, develop and inspire a high-quality finance team.
• 
  

Qualifications

What we’re looking for…

Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here. You leave your ego at the door, you’re up for doing things differently, and you want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.

• Five plus years of hotel finance experience, ideally already as Financial Controller or Director of Finance.
• CA or CPA qualified, with strong current knowledge of the Australian tax and statutory environment.
• Pre-opening or new-build experience – you’ve set a finance function up, not just inherited one.
• Technical depth across compliance, hotel operations and standard systems.
• Methodical and process-driven, but flexible and creative when it comes to deadlines and solutions.
