Job Description

As Assistant Director of Finance at Cambridge House, you will be at the heart of the House’s financial rhythm, establishing a Finance function worthy of this extraordinary new Mayfair destination. Reporting to the Regional Director of Finance, you will build sound financial foundations, protect the integrity of the business and turn numbers into thoughtful, commercially astute insight. It is a role for someone who values the precision of finance, while understanding that exceptional hospitality is ultimately about people, places and experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the Regional Director of Finance in establishing and maintaining robust financial controls, procedures and reporting standards across Cambridge House.

  • Oversee the day-to-day finance function, ensuring processes are accurate, timely and well organised, with the right level of attention to detail.

  • Support and develop finance team members, providing clear direction, sound guidance and opportunities to grow.

  • Lead the month-end process, including journals, accruals, reconciliations, balance sheet reviews and management accounts.

  • Play a key role in bringing Cambridge House from pre-opening plans to operational reality, implementing financial systems, processes, controls and reporting ahead of opening.

  • Contribute to pre-opening financial planning, expenditure controls, asset management and operational readiness, ensuring the foundations are in place before the first guest arrives.

  • Be a trusted point of contact for finance across the House, making financial information clear, accessible and relevant to those who use it.

  • Work closely with Rooms, Food & Beverage, Wellbeing and all other House departments to monitor performance, manage costs, identify opportunities and ensure revenue is accurately reported and reconciled.

  • Maintain effective controls across purchasing, accounts payable, credit control, payroll, cash handling, stock and inventory.

  • Review daily revenue reports and reconciliations across the PMS, POS and other financial systems, ensuring everything is where it should be.

  • Support payroll processes, including payroll journals, TRONC, and commissions.

  • Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring outstanding items are understood, investigated and resolved promptly.

  • Support VAT, tax and statutory reporting requirements, ensuring deadlines are met and obligations are properly managed.

  • Liaise with external auditors and professional advisers, providing accurate information and ensuring the audit process runs smoothly.

  • Deputise for the Regional Director of Finance when required, bringing commercial awareness, a steady hand, and a thoughtful lens to the role.

Qualifications

  • Previous experience in an Assistant Director of Finance, Finance Manager or equivalent role within a hospitality environment.

  • A strong understanding of hotel finance, including month-end reporting, budgeting, forecasting, reconciliations, revenue, payroll, purchasing and internal controls.

  • Previous experience of a pre-opening environment would be highly desirable, particularly where you have helped establish finance processes, systems and controls from the outset.

  • An accounting qualification such as ACCA, CIMA, ACA or an equivalent professional qualification would be advantageous, although relevant experience and capability are equally important to us.

  • A naturally collaborative approach, and the confidence to explain financial information clearly and thoughtfully to colleagues across the House.

  • Sound judgement, discretion and integrity.

  • A genuine enjoyment of hospitality and an appreciation for the extraordinary level of care that sits behind an effortless guest experience.
