Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Accountant/Bookkeeper to join the Yamamori Group management team. This role is responsible for preparing, analysing, and presenting monthly management accounts and ensuring full financial oversight across all business units. You will report directly to the Directors and work closely with site managers and external partners. This position is central to supporting the group’s strategic financial planning, performance tracking, and compliance.
This is not a traditional bookkeeping role. You will hold responsibility for higher-level financial management and group-level oversight, with some support from office staff or outsourced services for transactional tasks.
Previous experience in hospitality is a strong advantage. Experience in hospitality-specific bookkeeping or accounting will be considered a major plus, as this role involves multi-site operations, POS reconciliations, seasonal income analysis, and cost control relevant to the restaurant industry.
