The Store Accountant is responsible for maintaining accurate inventory records, monitoring stock valuation, conducting stock reconciliations, and ensuring proper documentation of goods received and transferred across lodge and camp properties. The role supports effective stock control, cost management, asset protection, and accurate inventory reporting in coordination with the Finance and Operations teams.
Key responsibilities
Ledger Management: Maintain an accurate and real-time electronic inventory ledger for all categories (Food, Beverage, Linen, Uniforms, and Maintenance spares).
Valuation: Ensure all stock is valued correctly using the approved accounting method (e.g., FIFO) to reflect the true value of assets on the balance sheet.
Price Monitoring: Track fluctuations in supplier prices and alert the Finance Manager of significant changes that may impact lodge “Food Cost” or “Operating Margins.”
Reconciliation: Conduct monthly physical stock counts and reconcile them against the system records. Investigate and report any variances exceeding 0.5%.
Spot Checks: Perform unannounced “blind” counts on high-value items like spirits, fuel, and specialized equipment.
Waste Management: Audit the “Damage/Expiry Report” and ensure that any stock write-offs follow the formal approval process before being removed from the books.
Verification: Review and verify all Goods Received Notes (GRN) against Local Purchase Orders (LPOs) and supplier invoices to ensure we only pay for what was delivered in good condition.
Inter-Camp Transfers: Oversee the documentation for goods sent to remote Lairs Camps, ensuring that the dispatch logs match the camp’s receiving logs.
Asset Protection: Monitor the usage of company assets and supplies as per the Employee Loan Policy or other internal distribution protocols to
