Night Auditor

A Night Auditor works an overnight shift at a hotel or accommodation venue. As well as regular hotel front desk work, you’ll also balance accounts from the previous day. Night Auditors reconcile the hotel’s financial transactions, but also attend to any needs of hotel guests that arise during the evening.

Night Auditors should have excellent bookkeeping skills as well as a focus on customer service. It’s important you can manage several tasks at one time and work to a deadline. Night Auditors should have good communication skills and excellent problem solving abilities. You’ll work irregular hours in this role and may also work on weekends and public holidays.
