You will be the central interface between our internal teams and external accountants, ensure that invoices, payments, approvals, corporate cards, and travel expenses run smoothly, and drive the implementation of our new ERP system across accounting processes. With a hands-on mindset, you will turn clear policies and controls into practical processes that support a fast-growing organization. Your day-to-day: Own the operational accounting setup and ensure that complete, accurate, and timely documentation is available for bookkeeping and period-end closing. Act as the main point of contact for our external accountants in Germany and the Netherlands, coordinate monthly and annual closing activities, resolve accounting questions, and track deliverables and deadlines. Manage the end-to-end accounts payable process, from invoice intake and validation to account assignment, approval workflows, payment proposals, and payment execution. Maintain efficient and audit-ready approval processes, ensure compliance with signing authorities and internal controls, and follow up proactively on missing approvals or documentation. Administer corporate credit cards and related tools, including card issuance, user management, limits, receipt collection, transaction review, and reconciliation. Own travel and expense management tools and processes, support employees with expense questions, review submissions, and ensure compliance with company policies and tax requirements. Coordinate bank transactions, cash and balance sheet reconciliations, open-item management, and the preparation of supporting schedules for month-end closing. Lead the accounting workstream for the ERP implementation, including process design, master data, migration, testing, cutover preparation, user training, and post-go-live stabilization. Your profile: Degree or vocational qualification in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Tax, or a comparable field.
