Accounts Payable - London

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a dynamic, fast-growing international hospitality group in London. This is a great role for an ambitious Accounts Payable professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, takes pride in getting the detail right and wants to be part of a forward-thinking finance team.

As Accounts Payable, you will take ownership of the full Procure-to-Pay cycle, working across the business to ensure suppliers are paid accurately and on time, financial controls are maintained and the AP function runs seamlessly.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll play a key role in keeping the finance operation running smoothly, with responsibility for:

• Managing the full Procure-to-Pay process, from vendor management and purchase orders through to approvals, payments and reconciliations.
• Processing invoices, matching them to purchase orders and receipts, checking approvals and posting General Ledger entries.
• Preparing payment runs and ensuring suppliers are paid accurately and on time.
• Maintaining and reconciling Accounts Payable ledgers.
• Managing the allocation and recharging of centrally incurred costs to participating hotels.
• Reviewing employee expenses for accuracy, completeness and compliance, obtaining approvals and posting entries.
• Processing credit card expenses, including marketing-related expenditure.
• Managing supplier queries, resolving discrepancies and maintaining accurate records.
• Supporting month-end, quarter-end and year-end close, reporting and audit processes.
• Maintaining accurate vendor records and ensuring compliance with company policies.
• Working closely with internal teams to improve processes and ensure financial policies are followed.
• Providing support with Accounts Receivable activities when required.
• Getting involved in other finance projects and responsibilities as the business evolves.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be an experienced Accounts Payable professional who is organised, proactive and comfortable working at pace.

You'll bring:

• Solid Accounts Payable and Procure-to-Pay experience.
• Excellent attention to detail and a strong focus on accuracy.
• A good understanding of purchase orders, invoice matching, approvals, payment runs and reconciliations.
• Strong organisational and time-management skills.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to deal with suppliers and stakeholders across the business.
• A hands-on, positive approach and the ability to work independently.
• Experience within hospitality, hotels or a multi-site environment would be advantageous.
• Experience with BirchStreet and Sage Intacct would be highly desirable.
• Candidates must be eligible to work in the UK as sponsorship will not be provided.

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than a traditional Accounts Payable role. You’ll be joining an ambitious and evolving hospitality business where finance plays an important role in supporting growth and operational performance.

You'll have the opportunity to work across a multi-site environment, build strong commercial exposure and become an integral part of a collaborative London-based finance team.

If you're an Accounts Payable professional looking for a role with pace, variety and plenty of opportunity to develop, we'd love to hear from you.
