Job description

We are a fast‑growing, creatively driven hospitality group with venues in London, Abu Dhabi and international expansion projects underway in Monaco and beyond. Rooted in our family‑run origins, we value long‑term commitment, collaboration, and vision.

We’re seeking an experienced yet hands‑on Finance Manager to take ownership of the group’s financial operations, help shape strategic decision‑making, and grow into a future CFO role as the business continues to expand. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, is eager to build systems and structures from within, and is motivated by purpose and growth rather than hierarchy.

Key Responsibilities

• Financial Management & Oversight
• Oversee day‑to‑day financial operations across all venues and entities within the group.
• Manage cash flow, forecasting, and group liquidity planning.
• Oversee accounts payable/receivable, payroll accuracy, and VAT submissions.
• Supervise management accounts and ensure monthly reporting is timely, accurate and actionable.
• Consolidate and analyse financial performance across UK and international projects.
• Support leadership in financial planning for new openings, refurbs and international expansions (project budgets, funding timelines, ROI tracking).
• Build and manage business models, forecasts and sensitivity analyses for new ventures.
• Partner with the Managing Director on long‑term growth strategies and capital allocation.
• Identify efficiencies and cost‑saving opportunities without compromising creative or operational integrity.
• Track project spend versus budget and ensure accurate cashflow planning for fit‑outs and openings.
• Liaise with contractors, suppliers and landlords regarding financial matters, payments and funding schedules.
• Support negotiations for lease contributions, rent‑free periods and financial agreements with partners or landlords.
• Maintain and evolve project tracking tools (spreadsheets, dashboards, cost trackers).
• Review and improve accounting systems and internal controls as the group scales.
• Implement clear financial reporting structures between venue teams, central finance and leadership.
• Ensure all statutory and compliance obligations (HMRC, Companies House, etc.) are met.
• Support the digital transformation of the finance function, from automation to cloud‑based reporting/AI developments.
• Work closely with venue GMs, operations and HR to embed financial awareness across teams.
• Cost‑control optimisation and champion a culture of accountability and transparency around budgets and costs.
• Assist with financial structuring, banking and tax planning for international projects.
• Support cross‑currency forecasting and consolidated reporting for UK and overseas entities.
• Liaise with external advisors (auditors, lawyers, tax specialists) to ensure group compliance and optimisation.

The Ideal Candidate

• Experienced Finance Manager, Controller or Senior Accountant ready for their next step.
• Background in hospitality, F&B or multi‑site operations preferred; strong understanding of cash‑flow management, budgeting and project accounting.
• Confident working directly with founders and senior leadership.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: solutions‑driven, proactive and emotionally intelligent.
• Excited by the idea of growing with the business into a CFO‑level position over time.
• Passionate about hospitality, creativity and the intersection between business and brand.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role as the group expands internationally.
• A collaborative, creative and family‑driven culture that values purpose and integrity.
• Exposure to unique projects in London, Monaco and Abu Dhabi.
• Competitive salary (commensurate with experience) with performance‑based growth potential.
• Hybrid working structure and direct input in shaping the company’s financial future.
