Accounts Manager - Zakynthos, Greece

We are looking for an Accounts Receivable Manager to support both our UK & Greek Finance teams whilst being based at the club. This role will appeal to a strong, self-motivated, independent all-rounder with impeccable attention to detail and an interest in finance and operations.

Most guests arrive on a Saturday or Sunday and they all have accounts set up for them to use during their stay. Throughout their stay, all food, drink and other services are billed to their account which is then settled before their departure. It is the responsibility of the accounts manager to set up these accounts and ensure that all bills are correct and settled each week and any queries guests may have are handled effectively and efficiently. Regular spot-checks will be required to ensure that the relevant departments are billing services correctly and any discrepancies investigated and resolved swiftly.

The accounts manager will also be required to produce regular detailed sales reports and calculate commissions. The role also involves daily cash reconciliation, managing petty cash and ensuring our EPOS systems are maintained with changes and updates actioned in the correct manner.  

In addition to this,  you will also be assisting with the management of stock. This will involve inputting details of deliveries into our stock system and completing weekly inventories.
