Accountant A to Y/Z

You will join a family business with a flat structure that is growing strongly. The organization consists of approximately 70 employees spread across different countries, including about 25 employees in Belgium and five employees in the warehouse.

The company does not manufacture products itself, but is responsible for the distribution and installation of products at customer sites. International activities have expanded significantly in recent periods. Since the beginning of this year, activities have been divided into different entities for the Benelux, France, Germany, and the international market.

This growth brings a lot of change. The administration was completely migrated from Navision to Business Central, and various processes, including intercompany re-invoicing, are being further optimized. There are still some teething problems, meaning someone who likes to think along and put things in order can truly make a difference here.

At the same time, the family atmosphere is preserved. Employees work together in a neat and well-maintained work environment, and great importance is attached to a professional appearance. Even outside of work, investments are made in the team, including teambuildings, sports activities, and the possibility to use fitness facilities.

Job Description

As an accountant, you will take on a broad role within the financial administration. You ensure that the accounting is processed correctly and timely and prepare various financial processes.

Your package of tasks includes, among others:

• You perform daily accounting processing and controls.
• You check and prepare invoices for processing and payment.
• You ensure that payments are correctly prepared.
• You prepare the monthly and annual closings.
• You are responsible for the preparation of VAT returns and Intrastat declarations.
• You process and check documents regarding import, customs, and international transactions.
• You assist in monitoring cash planning.
• You support the financial administration of various companies.
• You take into account the different international structures and administrative obligations.
• You contribute to the correct processing of transactions between the different entities.
• You think along about how processes can run more efficiently and clearly.
• You serve as an important trusted person for management regarding financial and administrative questions.

You will enter an environment that is fully in motion. The transition to Business Central and the expansion of the number of companies mean that not everything is fully in place yet. Therefore, you will not only have an executive role but also the opportunity to help bring structure.

For this position, we are looking for someone who has already built a solid foundation within accounting. A profile with at least approximately 5 years of experience aligns well with what the organization is looking for. A very junior profile is less suitable, as you need sufficient maturity and independence to oversee the various files and international context.

Additionally, you recognize yourself in the following characteristics:

• You have experience in an accounting role and feel comfortable with a broad A-Y/A-Z role.
• You are familiar with the basic principles of VAT and financial administration.
• Experience with an international environment is a strong asset.
• You are not intimidated by complex administrative structures or different companies.
• Experience with intercompany is a bonus, but not a requirement. Thanks to the automation within Business Central, this is also easy to learn.
• You work punctually and have an eye for detail.
• You are organized and love to bring structure.
• You communicate clearly and directly, without coming across as too harsh or rigid.
• You take responsibility and like to build a relationship of trust with your colleagues and supervisors.
• You are driven and take initiative. A passive attitude is less suited to this position.
• You have a good knowledge of French and English. Both languages are important in the daily collaboration with the different countries.
