Hotel Accountant

Hyde Perth has recently established itself as a world class employer of choice and to be part of something special. Since the hotel’s opening in March 2026, we have been bringing the signature Hyde energy to the vibrant heart of Western Australia. This bold and stylish hotel embodies the spirit of the Hyde brand: luxurious yet laidback, sophisticated with a festival soul.

Hyde is embracing an evolved brand identity that is all about a festival vibe with music at its core. Hyde perfectly balances an elevated bohemian-chic aesthetic with a youthful, laidback ambience. The spaces are defined by vibrant colours and are designed to encourage serendipitous connections and new discoveries around every corner. Hyde is all about the freedom and personal discovery that comes with great music, time with friends and connecting with something bigger.

As Hotel Accountant at Hyde Perth, you’ll play a key role in supporting the financial performance, integrity and day-to-day operations of the hotel.

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial information across the property, while providing timely reporting, analysis and insight to support sound commercial decision-making.

This is a hands-on role for an accountant who enjoys being close to the operation. You’ll work across revenue, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash and banking, reconciliations, month-end reporting, budgeting and forecasting, while partnering closely with both Finance and operational teams.

You’ll bring a high level of financial discipline and attention to detail, balanced with a commercial mindset and an understanding that successful hotel finance is about supporting the broader business, not simply reporting the numbers.

Key Responsibilities;

• Maintain accurate financial records and general ledger accounts, ensuring transactions are recorded correctly and in accordance with accounting standards and company requirements.

• Manage month-end accounting processes, including journals, accruals, provisions, reconciliations and reporting, ensuring deadlines are consistently achieved.

• Prepare accurate and timely daily, weekly and monthly financial reports and support the preparation of management accounts and financial statements.

• Complete balance sheet reconciliations, identify discrepancies and work proactively with relevant stakeholders to investigate and resolve issues.

• Oversee daily revenue control processes, including reviewing revenue reports and night audit postings and ensuring revenue is accurately captured across Rooms, Food & Beverage, Events and other hotel outlets.

• Investigate revenue variances, discrepancies and posting errors, identifying trends and opportunities to strengthen financial controls.

• Manage accounts payable processes from invoice verification and coding through to payment, ensuring appropriate approvals and adherence to agreed payment terms.

• Maintain accurate supplier records, reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies in a timely and professional manner.

• Manage city ledger and corporate debtor accounts, monitoring outstanding balances, following up overdue accounts and supporting effective debt recovery.

• Process receipts, allocations and account reconciliations and prepare regular debtor aging reports.

• Complete daily cash and banking reconciliations, ensuring all takings are accurately accounted for and variances are investigated promptly.

• Perform bank reconciliations and support effective cash flow management across the hotel.

• Assist with the preparation of annual budgets and ongoing forecasting processes, providing accurate financial information and analysis to support business planning.

• Analyse actual performance against budget and forecast, identifying key variances and providing meaningful commentary and insight to the Financial Controller and hotel leadership.

• Support internal and external audit processes by ensuring financial records, reconciliations and supporting documentation are accurate, complete and readily available.

• Ensure accounting practices comply with relevant accounting standards, statutory requirements, company policies and internal controls.

• Support payroll, taxation and other financial and regulatory reporting requirements as required.

• Contribute to the development, implementation and continuous improvement of Finance procedures, systems and standard operating procedures.

• Build strong working relationships across Finance, Revenue, Front Office, Food & Beverage, Sales & Events, P&C and the wider hotel operation.

• You’re an experienced accountant who enjoys working in a fast-paced hospitality environment and understands the importance of accuracy, commercial awareness and strong financial controls.

• You’re naturally analytical and detail focused, with the confidence to investigate issues, ask the right questions and work collaboratively with stakeholders to find solutions.

• You’re equally comfortable working independently on detailed accounting processes as you are partnering with operational leaders to understand the story behind the numbers.

• You’ll bring a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline, together with 2-3 years’ relevant accounting experience. Previous experience within hotels or hospitality will be highly regarded.

• You’ll have a strong understanding of financial accounting principles and practical experience across reconciliations, month-end processes, revenue control, accounts payable and receivable.

• Experience with ERP or accounting systems, ideally SUN Systems, is highly regarded. Familiarity with hotel systems including Opera, EPM and Micros, or similar platforms, will also be advantageous.

• You’ll have advanced Microsoft Excel skills and the ability to interpret financial data, identify trends and communicate financial information clearly.

• You’ll be highly organised, comfortable working to deadlines and able to manage competing priorities without compromising accuracy or attention to detail.

• You’ll be a confident communicator who can build effective relationships across departments and work collaboratively with both Finance and operational teams.

• A proactive, hands-on approach is essential. You’ll be someone who takes ownership, looks for opportunities to improve processes and is comfortable getting into the detail when required.

• CPA, CA, ACCA or an equivalent professional qualification, or actively working towards one, will be highly regarded.

MOST IMPORTANTLY

You understand that hotel finance is about more than numbers.

Behind every balance sheet, revenue report and forecast is a hotel operation, a guest experience and a team of people. You understand the connection between financial performance and the experience Hyde creates for its guests, customers and team.

You bring financial rigour, commercial curiosity and a collaborative approach, and you’re excited by the opportunity to be part of bringing Hyde Perth to life.
