Join Our Dynamic Team at Splendid Hospitality Group

At Splendid Hospitality Group, we’re redefining the hospitality experience with a passion for service and excellence. As a leader in the industry, we offer a diverse portfolio of luxury hotels and a commitment to creating memorable moments for our guests. If you're looking to be part of a company that thrives on creativity and innovation, this is the place for you.

The Role: Finance Business Partner (North)

We're looking for a commercially-minded finance professional to provide high-quality financial support to our North Region hotels, including the iconic Grand York. In this pivotal role, you'll be the trusted finance business partner to the North Regional General Manager and the General Manager of The Grand York—driving strategic planning, performance management, and operational excellence.

From delivering insightful analysis on key revenue and cost drivers to leading budgeting, forecasting, and cost control processes, you’ll play a central role in enhancing profitability and efficiency across the region. Your work will empower leaders with the financial insight and challenge needed to make sound decisions and promote a culture of accountability and transparency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Business partner with Regional General Managers and GMs to support financial decision-making.
• Lead the month-end reporting process for the North Region, ensuring accuracy and insightful commentary.
• Prepare and present budgets and forecasts, working closely with operational teams.
• Challenge performance, investigate variances, and drive corrective actions where needed.
• Collaborate with the wider finance team to ensure alignment, consistency, and accuracy in reporting and controls.
• Support the implementation of commercial initiatives by providing scenario analysis and financial modelling.
• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, enhance controls, and improve forecasting accuracy.
• Provide financial support for new projects, refurbishments, or strategic regional developments.
• Assist in ensuring compliance with internal controls and support audit activity where required.
• Build strong relationships across the region, acting as the key finance contact for the North region.
• Timely and accurate monthly management accounts for all hotels in the North Region and The Grand York.
• Clear and actionable variance analysis shared with Regional General Manager, General Managers and Operations leadership.
• Delivery of annual budgets and periodic forecasts aligned to site-level and regional strategic plans.
• Accurate tracking and analysis of labour, revenue, and key cost drivers. (e.g. F&B, utilities, maintenance)
• Site-specific and regional insights that drive operational performance and cost efficiencies.
• Balance sheet integrity and reconciliations for relevant hotel accounts.
• Regular financial review meetings with RGM, hotel GMs and operational leads.
• Identification and support of cost-saving initiatives and sales improvement opportunities.
• Support in enhancing financial understanding and capability among non-finance hotel leaders.
• Improved use of financial systems and reporting tools across the region

About You

You are a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) with solid experience in finance business partnering, ideally gained in a multi-site or operational environment (hospitality, hotel, or leisure sector experience would be advantageous). You thrive in dynamic settings where your commercial acumen and hands-on approach make a real impact.

Your track record includes delivering accurate budgeting and forecasting, supporting strategic decision-making through insightful analysis, and driving performance through financial rigor. You're confident working alongside non-finance stakeholders, translating complex data into clear, actionable insights.

With deep knowledge of cost control, variance analysis, and revenue optimization, you're constantly looking for ways to improve financial processes and strengthen internal controls.

A confident communicator and natural collaborator, you're adept at influencing senior stakeholders and building strong relationships across geographically dispersed teams. Your Excel and data analysis skills are top-notch, and you're at ease with system-driven reporting. Above all, you're detail-focused, deadline-driven, and bring a proactive mindset to everything you do.
