Reporting to the Cluster Finance Manager, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the smooth and efficient operation of the hotel finance function. As the Senior Finance Officer, you will help drive financial discipline, operational efficiency, and strong commercial support across key areas including Rooms Revenue, F&B Finance, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, General Accounting, and administration.
A key focus of this role will be the effective management of high-volume and complex Accounts Receivable portfolios, particularly corporate business accounts. This requires strong attention to detail, excellent numerical ability, and confidence in handling invoicing, reconciliations, collections, and financial data with a high level of accuracy. The role is well suited to someone who performs well under pressure, can manage multiple priorities, and consistently delivers quality outcomes.
You will build strong working relationships with key corporate clients, internal departments, and stakeholders to ensure invoices are issued accurately and on time, queries are resolved promptly, and payments are collected efficiently to support healthy cash flow. Experience using Opera, particularly for corporate invoicing and revenue processes, will be highly valued.
If you are detail-oriented, commercially minded, enjoy problem-solving, and are looking to grow your career within hotel finance, this is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic team and make a meaningful impact.
