Requirements

We are ideally looking for a qualified accountant however our client has indicated that they would be open to considering qualified by experience accountants. We are seeking an individual who has experience in either working as an accountant within a hotel or an accounting firm where some of your clients would have been in the hospitality sector. We are also looking for an individual who can manage their own workload and who has the ability to seek solutions to problems. Communication skills and the ability to prioritise are essential success factors for our client. Our client’s accounting software is currently not cloud based so applicants will be required to be onsite 5 days per week. They are however looking to move onto a cloud based software in the future.
