Night Auditor

ACCOUNTABILITY

The Night Audit is a critical process designed to verify all account postings and balances. As a night auditor, it is expected you make guest satisfaction always a priority. Night Auditors are entrusted with the responsibility of accurately posting and reconciling charges, settlements, and files for rooms and credit card transactions. They also ensure the seamless reset of systems for the next day's operations. This role demands a high degree of self-reliance, as results are typically achieved independently. The primary focus of this job is on consistently delivering timely, precise, and high-quality outcomes. It benefits from an analytical, inquisitive, and problem-solving mindset, coupled with a strong technical orientation.
