      Dec 2008 - Jan 2012

      Based in Dublin, I was responsible for the accounting function of seven hotels in Ireland, with a team of nine Finance employees located across five cities reporting to me. Before starting my role in Ireland as Finance Manager for the Ireland region, I was seconded to cover the Financial Controller position at Jurys Inn Prague to bridge the gap between the previous Financial Controller departing and the new one joining. Reporting to the Group Management Accountant, my role at Head Office was to support the centralisation of the company's monthly reporting process and assist in establishing the Group's new Shared Services Finance Department. Working in the cluster team responsible for five hotels in the North of England, I assisted with month end, credit control, income audit, forecasting, budgeting and other ad hoc duties. I was involved in pre-opening process of two new hotels in Sheffield and Derby.
