Job Description

Darwin is a city unlike anywhere else in Australia. Stunning harbour sunsets, world class markets, a thriving food and bar scene, and a gateway to some of the country's most extraordinary landscapes including Kakadu, Litchfield and the Tiwi Islands.

It's a place where lifestyle and career can genuinely coexist, and for the right person, it's a sea change worth making. At the heart of it all, Novotel, Mercure and ibis Darwin Airport Resorts are in the middle of an exciting transformation. Airport Development Group has invested $25 million to create a world class destination, with major upgrades across accommodation, dining and events, all set within newly landscaped tropical gardens that capture the spirit of the Top End.

As part of the global Accor network with over 5,700 hotels across 110 countries, we are guided by a clear purpose: pioneering the art of responsible hospitality, connecting cultures with heartfelt care.

Here, you don't just work in hospitality. You become a Heartist.

Reporting to the Director of Finance, the Assistant Financial Controller plays a key role in the day-to-day management of the Finance Department across the Darwin Airport Resort Properties. This role suits a finance professional who is as comfortable getting hands-on with reconciliations and reporting as they are building trust with Department Heads, ownership and colleagues across a multi-brand operation.

• Compile weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual reporting in line with Accor guidelines, including Market Segment/Share Analysis and Monthly Operating Statements.

• Monitor and control payroll procedures and ensure cash handling policies are strictly followed.
• Keep in-house ledgers balanced and complete monthly reconciliations for all balance sheet accounts.
• Manage daily and monthly cashflow, and ensure Owner payments are reconciled and deposited on time per Management Agreements.
• Lead the annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting process, ensuring equal input from all Department Managers.
• Support Year End Accounts preparation and oversee audits relating to financial standards and procedures.
• Ensure Accor policies and internal controls are implemented

Qualifications

• Proven experience in a finance role within hospitality, hotels or a related multi-site environment.
• A strong understanding of hotel operations, payroll, and financial reporting processes.
• Demonstrated ability to build effective stakeholder relationships across departments and brands.
