We are looking for an exceptional Management Accountant to come and join us at Richmond Hill Hotel.
Located in the heart of London’s greenest borough, we are an independently owned Georgian hotel, just a stone through from the royal park — London’s gateway to nature.
Our team are the heart and soul of everything we do at the hotel, and their hard work and dedication have earned us recognition from prestigious organizations such as The Sunday Times and The Caterer for being one of the leading employers in the industry.
The award-winning culture at the hotel is progressive, independent, and free-spirited - it’s just the fabric of the buildings that’s historic, not our approach to business. From our paint to our people, we are a refreshing break from the cookie-cutter hotel chain experience, and we encourage everyone to bring their authentic, best selves to work every day. It doesn’t take lavishness or luxury to make someone feel special. Instead, we believe it takes genuine care, thoughtfulness and a team empowered to be creative with their service. These are the qualities that keep our guests coming back time and again.
What’s in it for you…
* You’ll enjoy a competitive annual salary starting from £50k, plus a monthly tronc and an annual bonus.

* BUPA scheme
