GL Accountant

Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It…  

As our GL Accountant, you’ll play a key role in the financial operations of The Social Hub, a growing hybrid hospitality group with hotels, restaurants, coworking spaces, and student living facilities in multiple locations across Europe (United Kingdom included).

You will be an integral part of the Finance team, working closely with colleagues across treasury, tax, financial control, and operations. You will take ownership of the accounting close process for multiple entities and ensure compliance with our internal controls and external reporting obligations. 

In this role, you will collaborate with the General Ledger Team Lead and Financial Controllers to deliver accurate, timely, and complete financial reporting. You’ll actively support month-end activities, audits, VAT compliance and intercompany accounting, while contributing to the continuous improvement of our systems and finance operations. 

In Case You Don’t Know Who We Are (Ahem)…  

Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves. As an employer we look, act and think like a hotel, but instead we offer a lot more. Think student accommodation, long and short stay options, gyms, talks, events, rooftop bar and eat & drink escapes as well as community and coworking spaces. Located in The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, UK, France and Spain with several new openings on the way, this hybrid hospitality concept may take root in the heart of Europe, but our plans are set for going global.
