🧑🏻‍💻 About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

We’re looking for a GL Accountant to help us keep our books accurate, complete, and on time as we continue to grow globally. This is an interesting role for someone who enjoys complex, multi‑entity accounting, working with real‑world (and sometimes messy) data, and partnering with different teams to improve how things work in practice – all without tax/VAT compliance in the mix.

As a GL Accountant, you’ll own core month‑end close activities and reconciliations across multiple entities. You’ll work with complex, sometimes messy data from different systems, help keep our financial records clean and reliable, and collaborate with teams across finance and the wider business. The quality and timeliness of your work will directly support how Mews makes decisions, builds controls for IPO readiness, manages payments, and scales our operations across markets.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• Own month‑end close activities for assigned entities (e.g. accruals, deferred expenses, fixed assets, intercompany, etc.) and help us hit a tight 3–4 day close window.
• Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations to ensure accuracy and completeness across multiple legal entities.
• Manage and post journal entries, making sure data is correctly reflected in our ERP.
• Work closely with our Finance Systems and reporting teams to use data effectively (e.g. Power BI, other reporting tools) and improve the way we work.
• Support financial reporting, including data for IFRS reporting packages, audits, and internal control activities.
• Identify and drive process improvements across the GL area (better reconciliations, documentation, automation, controls).
• Collaborate with teams such as tax, payroll, people, and sales to resolve accounting questions and keep records aligned.
• Note: this is a pure accounting role – tax and VAT filings are handled by our dedicated tax team, so you can focus on GL, reconciliations, and data quality.

*🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:*

• 4+ years of finance/accounting experience, including at least 2 years in GL or as a Senior GL/Senior Accountant.
• Experience working in a multi‑entity environment (not just a single company) and handling complex accounting topics (bank, AP, AR, GL, closing operations).
• Strong month‑end close and reconciliation experience, with clear examples of owning accounts and fixing discrepancies.
• High attention to detail and comfort working with messy, unstructured data – you’re happy to investigate, clean, and adjust data before it can be used.
• Solid Excel skills and ability to work with large data sets.
• Fluent English and strong communication skills; you enjoy working with people across different teams and countries.
• Good time management and resilience under pressure – you can stay organised and focused during tight close timelines.

Great to have:

• Experience in corporate accounting or a Big Four / large outsourcing environment.
• Experience with a global ERP, ideally Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (or similar).
• Knowledge of IFRS and/or local GAAP standards.
• SQL skills or strong interest in learning it.
• Power BI experience – especially building or modifying reports, not just using existing ones.
• Experience with payment providers and reconciling payment flows.
• A track record of process improvement in accounting (e.g. automation, new controls, better documentation).

Salary: Up to 925,000 CZK pa (DOE)

🤷🏻 Who is Mews?

We want to get to know you, so it’s only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. Mews has been transforming hospitality since 2012. What began in a single hotel in Prague now powers thousands of hotels around the world, as they pursue their mission to develop transformational solutions for brands and create remarkable experiences for guests.

Since the beginning, Mews embraced being different. Mews is not simply a property management system, but a connected hospitality cloud with products across the hotel ecosystem and more integrations than anyone else.

From global hospitality brands to independent properties, hoteliers join Mews because they recognize the power of innovation. They understand that they can benefit from hotel tech that drives efficiency, maximizes revenue, and improves guest happiness.

Powering over 5,000 customers across more than 85 countries, Mews Hospitality Cloud is designed to streamline operations for modern hoteliers, transform the guest experience and create more profitable businesses.

Ranked 24th in the FT 1000 list of the fastest-growing European companies in 2021, Mews has been recognized as the Best PMS by industry peers at the HotelTechAwards in both 2020 and 2024, consistently earning acclaim. Mews also achieved finalist status in 2021 and 2022. What's more, we take immense pride in being listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those same years and again this year. But our achievements don't stop there; Mews was also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider 2023 and as the World's Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider 2022 and 2023 by the World Travel Tech Awards.

💭 Life at Mews

That’s what we do, but what about who we are? Mews’ culture is special and difficult to capture in words, which makes writing this tricky. You'll experience the freedom to be yourself and the ability to watch your ideas come to life. You’ll have an open line of communication and an open invitation to after-work drinks, be they virtual or in-person. Sometimes the work can be challenging and there can be a lot of it, but you’ll always be able to rely on those around you.

Yes, we’re ambitious and we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

If our mission, values and Life at Mews sound like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you!

Everyone is welcome at Mews

We’re an equal opportunities employer. To reimagine the art of hospitality, we need teams that represent our global and diverse customers and users. Our differences make Mews, so we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities to work with us. We embrace different perspectives, encourage trying new things and want everyone to feel safe bringing their authentic self to work. If this sounds like you and you’re ready to join a global, innovative and exciting community, we’d love to hear from you.

One very important note: don’t hold back. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the criteria listed in this job description, we still encourage you to apply. We believe everyone should have equal access to opportunities and we’re committed to providing an inclusive experience, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you during the application process.

🤖 AI and Hiring at Mews

At Mews, we believe AI enhances our work but should not replace what humanises it and makes it individually ours. We see AI as a tool to support research, generate ideas, and drive efficiency, but creativity, critical thinking, and opinions differentiate us. As you apply, feel free to use AI to help structure your thoughts — but ensure your application and conversations with us, reflect your personal opinions, capabilities and experience. We’re building an AI-enabled workforce, and that starts with people who think independently and bring fresh ideas to the table. Because at Mews, making work more human is the ultimate goal.
