Accounting AnalystRole summary

Our client in the hospitality sector is hiring an accounting-minded analyst to protect card-based revenue integrity across a large, multi-property portfolio (hotels, restaurants, spas, and event venues). You'll review high-volume daily credit card activity, clear system-flagged exceptions, and support reconciliations that tie property systems to the general ledger.

What you'll do
  • Daily transaction review: Validate credit card batches from properties/outlets (front desk, F&B, spa, banquets); confirm completeness, correct coding, tips/service charges, and proper business date cut-off.

  • Exception resolution: Work a queue of automatically flagged items (duplicates, timing differences, mismatched amounts, gratuity variances); research root cause, correct entries per SOP, and document the audit trail.

  • Reconciliations: Assist with daily and month-end tie-outs among PMS/POS, payment gateway/merchant processor reports, bank settlement files, subledgers, and the GL; propose/prepare adjusting journal entries where needed.

  • Reporting: Produce concise daily revenue/exception reports for Finance and Property Ops; surface trends by property, outlet, tender type, or shift.

  • Close support: Contribute to night audit and month-end close (accruals, chargeback reserves, fee validation, variance/flux analysis) and ensure reconciliations are completed on schedule.

  • Controls & compliance: Uphold internal controls for approvals, documentation, and evidence retention; respond to internal/external audit requests.

Must-haves
  • Foundational accounting skills (debits/credits, accruals, reconciliations) with comfort working in a GL/ERP environment.

  • Meticulous attention to detail and sustained focus-reviewing card transactions and spotting red flags throughout the day.

  • Excel proficiency (filters, pivots, lookups; basic variance analysis) and disciplined documentation.

  • Clear written and verbal communication to coordinate with property finance and operations.

Nice to have
  • Hospitality systems experience (e.g., PMS such as Opera/Cloud PMS; POS such as MICROS/Toast/Aloha; payment gateways/processors).

  • Exposure to tips/gratuities, service charge handling, chargebacks, and banquet/event folio workflows.

  • Experience with NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar ERP.
