Job description

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.

What You'll Do

• Take ownership of monthly closing activities for one or more entities by posting journal entries, including accruals for operational and professional expenses, payroll‑related items, and other relevant transactions.
• Prepare and review balance sheet account reconciliations monthly, ensuring supporting documentation and follow‑up on open items.
• Perform intercompany accounts reconciliations and ensure timely recharges for shared services, loans, and interest.
• Prepare and review VAT returns and ensure compliance with other local tax authorities and internal deadlines.
• Conduct monthly P&L reviews with General Managers and Controllers, ensuring costs and allocations are complete and accurate.
• Support the preparation of audit deliverables and engage with external auditors during hard close and year‑end.
• Actively contribute to improving processes, workflows, and internal controls in collaboration with the Financial Control team.
• Support ad hoc cross‑functional initiatives when needed, such as automation efforts, system enhancements, or reporting improvements.

Who You Are

• You have a degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field.
• 3+ years of working experience in accounting or financial control roles.
• You have experience working in the finance department of a large, multinational organization.
• Knowledge of accounting principles (GAAP, IFRS), VAT, and intercompany processes.
• Fluent in English (additional European languages are a plus).
• You can think process‑oriented and are able to come up with improvements on the go.
• Strong documentation, organization, and deadline‑management abilities.
• Strong Excel skills and preferably ERP experience (NetSuite experience is considered a bonus).

We Offer:

• The opportunity to work at a dynamic, multi‑national company. Not just another hotel – we’re a game‑changing innovator, challenging every convention and defining the future.
• The chance to learn and grow in your role with the potential for future growth.
• Awesome discounts in all our properties in Europe and not just for you, but also for your friends and family!
• A wonderful workplace to call home, full of events, fun colleagues and all the other amazing salary/benefits stuff.

Who you are, is how we want you to be. To us, hybrid hospitality goes across the board, from how we service our guests to how we represent ourselves. Here, everyone belongs, and we welcome people no matter their nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or culture. Your authenticity keeps our team diverse. Come as you are.
