🚀 Are you an accounting expert who goes beyond just crunching numbers? Do you have the leadership skills to drive real business impact?

What You’ll Be Owning:

  • Leading and developing the accounting team, ensuring we stay compliant, efficient, and ahead of the curve.
  • Ensure smooth operations across monthly reporting, payroll, incoming invoices, tax & VAT reporting
  • Own and optimize our internal controls framework, working closely with Compliance & Assurance
  • Optimizing processes, finding efficiencies, and making sure we’re leveraging the best solutions, tools and tech.
  • Take full responsibility for financial reporting, including: Annual report, Monthly reporting to Ferd and Quarterly reports to the bank
  • Keeping a pulse on financial risks, tax matters, and accounting policies—we play by the rules but always find smart ways to stay agile.
