At Crowne Plaza, we’re all about creating exceptional stays and meaningful connections. With over 420 hotels around the world, we’re a trusted name for both business and leisure travellers—and a leading destination for meetings and events.
We’re currently seeking a Finance Assistant to join our team—someone who’s meticulous, motivated, and eager to grow within a fast-paced hotel environment. Whether you're early in your finance career or bringing solid experience to the role, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to learn, contribute, and make a difference.
Your Day to Day
We’re looking for a detail-driven and proactive Finance Assistant to support our hotel’s financial operations. In this full-time, on-site role, you’ll play a key part in the smooth day-to-day running of the finance department—ensuring everything from billing and payments to reconciliations and reporting is accurate and on time.
You’ll be involved in:
Preparing, recording, and reviewing daily financial transactions
Supporting accounts payable and receivable processes
Assisting with reconciliations, banking, and end-of-day cash and card balancing
Helping maintain accurate financial records in line with IHG standards
Assisting with internal financial reporting and audits
Liaising with suppliers to ensure smooth processing of goods and services
Coordinating with hotel teams to follow up on financial queries or discrepancies
This is a hands-on role with exposure across multiple functions—a great opportunity to build your experience in hotel finance.
Who You’ll Work With
You’ll report directly to the Director of Finance, and work closely with department heads across the hotel. Collaboration is key—you’ll build strong relationships with colleagues in Operations, F&B, Front Office and beyond. You’ll also work directly with suppliers and external partners, ensuring seamless financial processes that support our day-to-day success.
What We Need From You
Experience (or qualifications) in accounting, finance, or hotel management.
A solid understanding of basic accounting principles
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Outlook
Strong organisational and communication skills
A sharp eye for detail and accuracy
The ability to work collaboratively, prioritise tasks and meet deadlines
Previous experience in hospitality or systems like Opera PMS or Infrasys POS is a plus—but not essential
Self-motivated and dependable, with a strong sense of ownership over your work
Whether you’re starting out in your finance career or bringing prior experience in a similar role, we’ll support your growth with hands-on learning, mentoring, and exposure to real-world hotel finance operations.
