As a GL Accountant, you’ll play a key role in the financial operations of The Social Hub, a growing hybrid hospitality group with hotels, restaurants, coworking spaces, and student living facilities in multiple locations across Europe, including the United Kingdom.

In this role, your primary focus will be on our Management Companies (ManCo), the corporate engine that supports our operational hubs. You will be an integral part of the Finance team, working closely with colleagues across treasury, tax, financial control, and operational departments to manage corporate overhead, shared services, and centralized payroll. You will take ownership of the accounting close process for multiple ManCo entities and ensure compliance with our internal controls and external reporting obligations.

You will collaborate with the General Ledger Team Lead and Financial Controllers to deliver accurate, timely, and complete financial reporting.

• Prepare and review VAT returns for corporate entities and ensure compliance with other local tax authorities and internal deadlines.
• Conduct monthly P&L reviews with General Managers and Controllers, ensuring corporate costs and intercompany allocations are complete, accurate, and clearly communicated.
• Support the preparation of audit deliverables and engage with external auditors during hard close and year-end.
• Actively contribute to improving corporate processes, workflows, and internal controls in collaboration with the Financial Control team.
• Support ad hoc cross-functional initiatives when needed, such as automation efforts for allocation files, system enhancements, or reporting improvements.

Who You Are

• You have a degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field.
• 3+ years of working experience in accounting or financial control roles, ideally with exposure to corporate or ManCo accounting.
• You have experience working in the finance department of a large, multinational organization.
• Strong knowledge of accounting principles (GAAP, IFRS), VAT, and intercompany processes.
• You can think process-oriented and are able to come up with improvements on the go.
• You have great English communication skills (Dutch or Spanish is an advantage).

We Offer

• The opportunity to work at a dynamic, multi-national company.
