Job Title: Accounts & Finance Manager

Location: Yola, Adamawa
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Description

• The Accounts & Finance Manager is the backbone of financial stability — ensuring the hotel collects revenue properly, pays staff/suppliers on time, stays compliant with Nigerian tax laws, and remains profitable.
• Because the hotel is relatively small, this manager is usually hands-on (handling bookkeeping directly) while also supervising a cashier or accounts clerk if available.

Responsibilities
Financial Management & Reporting:

• Daily Revenue Tracking: Monitor income from rooms, restaurant, bar, banquet hall, and other outlets.
• Cash Flow Management: Ensure enough liquidity for daily operations (staff wages, supplies, utilities).
• Daily/Monthly Reports: Prepare revenue, expenses, profit/loss statements for management.
• Budgeting: Develop annual budgets, track variances, and adjust as needed.
• Forecasting: Predict occupancy-based revenues and plan expenses accordingly.

Accounting & Bookkeeping:

• Ledger Maintenance: Keep accurate records of all transactions (cash, POS, bank transfers).
• Bank Reconciliation: Match hotel bank statements with recorded income/expenses.
• Accounts Payable: Manage supplier/vendor invoices, negotiate payment terms.
• Accounts Receivable: Follow up on corporate clients, travel agencies, or event organizers who book on credit.
• Asset Management: Track hotel assets (furniture, equipment, linen) and depreciation schedules.

Payroll & Staff Compensation:

• Salary Processing: Calculate and pay staff salaries (housekeeping, front office, marketing, etc.).
• Benefits & Allowances: Handle allowances, overtime, and bonuses.
• Compliance: Deduct and remit statutory obligations (e.g., PAYE tax, pensions if applicable).

Taxation & Compliance:

• Nigerian Tax Compliance: Ensure timely filing of VAT, Withholding Tax (WHT), PAYE, and Corporate Income Tax.
• Liaison with Regulators: Work with FIRS, local government, and auditors during inspections.
• Internal Controls: Implement checks to prevent fraud, theft, or revenue leakage.

Cost Control:

• Expense Monitoring: Review daily purchases (food supplies, cleaning materials, utilities).
• Supplier Negotiations: Source cost-effective suppliers in Yola/Abuja, ensure competitive pricing.
• Operational Audits: Audit restaurant/bar sales to prevent underreporting by staff.
• Utility Management: Track diesel/generator expenses (common in Yola due to unreliable electricity).

Qualifications

• Interested candidates should possess a Bachelor's Degree with at least 5 years experience.

Application Closing Date
