Financial Controller

Financial Controller - Hotel | Lifestyle Brand | London
Location: London
Salary: £60k+

We're working with a bold, fast-growing lifestyle hotel brand to recruit a commercially sharp Financial Controller for one of their flagship London properties.

This is not your typical hotel finance role. This is high-energy, fast-paced hospitality - where the Financial Controller is right at the heart of the operation, driving performance, influencing decisions, and shaping the commercial direction of the hotel.

The Role - Financial Controller (Hotel)

As Financial Controller, you will take full ownership of the hotel's finance function, working closely with the General Manager and senior team.

You'll be visible, hands-on, and commercially focused - ensuring the hotel delivers on revenue, profit, and performance.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own and deliver monthly management accounts and hotel reporting
• Drive forecasting, budgeting, and cash flow management
• Oversee payroll, credit control, and purchase ledger
• Partner with the GM and HODs to improve profitability and cost control
• Lead on audit, compliance, and financial governance
• Analyse performance and implement cost-saving and revenue-driving initiatives
• Support wider group finance projects and brand growth

What We're Looking For

• Proven Financial Controller experience within hotels or hospitality
• Qualified ACA / ACCA / CIMA
• Strong commercial mindset - you understand how hotels make money
• Hands-on, proactive, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment
• Confident communicator who can challenge and influence senior stakeholders
• Experience in driving change, improving processes, and adding value
