What you'll do

  • Own daily bookkeeping: code supplier invoices and card spend in Spendesk with the right GL account, VAT code and cost centre, and post them to the general ledger without re-keying
  • Keep supplier records clean and prepare payment runs
  • Reconcile bank accounts, keep payables and receivables current, and investigate outstanding items so every balance is supported or explained
  • Run the month-end close: close all entities to a fixed timetable, initially by working day eight and moving towards working day five
  • Own accruals, prepayments and balance-sheet reconciliations, collect or prepare foreign entities' figures, agree intercompany balances and reconcile group reporting to the ledgers
  • Maintain fixed assets and inventory records: keep the fixed-asset register up to date, including capitalisation and depreciation of the robot fleet under agreed accounting policies, and reconcile inventory accounts to month-end stock values
  • Prepare quarterly Dutch btw returns with external accountants reviewing, and take over filing them over time
  • Keep the books audit-ready: maintain supporting schedules and an audit file throughout the year, be a day-to-day contact for external accountants and support the audit of the 2027 accounts
  • Improve how we work: document the close, fix recurring errors and use spreadsheets, software and AI tools to reduce manual work while checking results carefully
  • Depending on experience, take on payroll processing in Loket over time, with payroll tax filings remaining with external accountants

What we're looking for

  • At least three years of experience running the books through month-end, at an accounting firm (accountantskantoor) or in-house
  • Hands-on Dutch VAT experience: prepared Dutch btw returns and can work through the supporting records
  • Strong reconciliation skills: handled balance-sheet reconciliations, accruals and prepayments beyond processing invoices; investigates differences and follows them through to resolution
  • Accuracy and ownership: keeps records organised, meets close deadlines and raises missing information or accounting questions early
  • Fluent English and professional working Dutch; can independently read and process Dutch invoices, tax correspondence and payroll documents
  • Comfort with systems and confidential information: works confidently with spreadsheets, learns new accounting tools and handles financial and employee information carefully

Nice to have

  • Twinfield, Basecone or Spendesk (Exact, Odoo or similar also counts)
  • Multi-entity or multi-country bookkeeping, intercompany and consolidation
  • Fixed-asset or inventory accounting in hardware or manufacturing
  • Statutory audit support
  • Dutch payroll experience, ideally in Loket
  • An accounting qualification such as MBO-4/HBO, SPD or Praktijkdiploma Boekhouden
  • Experience automating repetitive work
