Job description

We're looking for a Finance Intern to join our team at The Hoxton, Amsterdam. Reporting to the Director of Finance and working day to day with the Finance Manager, you will support the team across Income Audit, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and cost control.

Once the Mayor's home, now our home, on Amsterdam's Herengracht canal. The Hoxton, Amsterdam houses 111 rooms, The Apartment, our meetings & events concept, and our all-day restaurant & bar, Lotti's.

More about us...

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn't need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What's in it for you...

• Become part of a team that's very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Food on us during your shift.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• Hox Hero and Nifty fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
• Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties - we know how to have a good time!
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• It's ok not to be ok, we offer access to OpenUp, a trusted platform for professional support and a network of mental health first aiders.
• Pedal like a local - Enjoy a Swapfiets membership with a discount: repairs and maintenance included.
• Stay active your way with a discounted Urban Sports Club membership, supporting your overall wellbeing and balance.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.

Job Description

What you'll do...

Income Audit

• Support the daily Income Audit, checking revenue from rooms, Lotti's and The Apartment against PMS, POS and payment reports, and following up on variances.
• Help reconcile daily card settlements and cash takings to the bank.
• Check guest ledger and advance deposit balances and flag anything that doesn't look right.

Accounts Receivable

• Prepare invoices for groups, events and corporate accounts for review.
• Allocate customer receipts and help chase overdue balances.
• Handle straightforward guest and client billing queries.

Accounts Payable

• Code supplier invoices and match them to purchase orders and goods received, then route them for Head of Department approval.
• Help reconcile supplier statements and resolve supplier queries.
• Help prepare the weekly payment run for review by the Finance Manager.

Cost control

• Check and record goods deliveries against orders and invoices.
• Carry out weekly F&B stock takes and support the month-end inventory valuation.

Month-end and projects

• Help prepare accruals and balance sheet reconciliations at month-end.
• Follow finance procedures and authorisation controls, and suggest ways to make them simpler.
• Own a finance project during your internship, such as a process improvement or a piece of automation.

Qualifications

What we're looking for...

• You're studying hospitality management, finance, accounting or business, with an internship as part of your programme.

• You have Excel skills at intermediate level or above.
• You're fluent in English; Dutch is a plus.
• You like detail, a lot of detail.
• Individuals. You're looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality, whether that's a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You're not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You're up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together we'd have a good time and share a few laughs.
