Technical Accounting & Transaction Specialist

Help make the world more hospitable

The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences.

You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building.

If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here.

Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

This role puts you in charge of the technical accounting behind complex transactions at Mews, and in the middle of building the systems and controls Finance will run on. You’ll help set the foundations for ERP, consolidation and SOX work rather than inherit them, while the team redesigns how it works with AI.

You’ll work closely with Reporting, Finance leadership and our external auditors, and you’ll have a real say in policy and controls, not just in carrying them out.

As the business takes on more complex transactions and its reporting scrutiny grows, Finance needs a technical accounting lead who makes sure the answers are right, documented and built to hold up, and who makes the way the team reaches them faster and more consistent.

• Provide technical accounting judgment on complex transactions and new arrangements under IFRS and US GAAP, including financial due diligence, with memos that hold up to audit scrutiny.
• Lead the implementation and integration of new ERP and consolidation systems, and the accounting processes that run on them.
• Build out the internal controls for SOX implementation, and own accounting policies and procedures alongside Reporting.
• Redesign how technical analysis, reconciliations and policy reviews get done using AI, and build the approach the wider team follows.
• Work with external auditors through audit engagements and support the preparation of the annual report.

AI Fluency Level 3: This role operates at Level 3, which here means going well beyond using AI to draft faster. You’ll redesign how Finance prepares technical accounting analysis and checks its outputs, build approaches others can follow, and actively question and verify what the AI produces, because audit-grade conclusions can’t rest on an unchecked draft.

For more information on AI fluency at Mews, please refer to “AI Fluency at Mews: A Comprehensive Guide for Candidates” on Confluence.

• 5+ years of accounting and reporting experience under IFRS and US GAAP, with the judgment to critically review financial statements and spot accounting or process gaps.
• Higher education in economics or a related field, and fluent English.
• Advanced Excel skills, plus working experience with database tools and ERP or consolidation systems.
• Project management skills, with experience coordinating complex financial projects or system implementations.
• AI Fluency Level 3 or equivalent hands-on experience: you’ve redesigned how you or your team work with AI, and you verify its output before it reaches a conclusion.
• Unlimited paid holiday (yes, really)
• Participation in our company share program
• Paid parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available after one year of service)
• An annual Learning budget of €300 (and more for high performers) to support your development
• Monthly "EDGE" time to Explore, Develop, Grow, and Elevate yourself
• A work from anywhere policy with flexibility to work abroad for a few weeks each year
• Relocation options, available after one year
• Flexible, hybrid working options
• A home office setup budget to make your workspace your own and a monthly work-from-home allowance
• Claude tokens, so you can automate workflows and build smarter, more efficient ways of working

• ACCA, CIMA or a similar accounting qualification.
• Experience with transaction accounting or M&A.
• Experience working with auditors on controls-heavy or SOX-related work.

Pay Transparency at Mews

Salary ranges are provided in good faith and reflect current market conditions and internal pay structures. Final compensation may be adjusted based on funding, budget constraints, or exceptional candidate qualifications, but will remain within reasonable proximity to the stated range.

This salary disclosure is provided in compliance with applicable pay transparency legislation. We are committed to equal pay practices and prohibit salary history inquiries during our recruitment process.

If the location you're applying from wasn't originally advertised for this role, salary range information is available upon request at any point during the application/interview process - your recruiter will be able to help.

Our success is powered by our incredible people, supported by benefits that help them thrive.

You'll receive additional benefits that vary by location, from healthcare and retirement plans to team events, socials and other perks. Ask us about it during your interview process.

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We value teams that reflect the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company.

We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems.

A few things that define how we work:

• High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn’t a detailed playbook for everything, and that’s part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding.
• Change is constant. We’re growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive.
• We’re remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together.
• AI is an integral part of our processes. It’s not here to steal people’s jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We’re motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company.

If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know.

We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic.

One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience.

If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
