Numbers that add up, for yachts that seem out of this world

At Vitters Shipyard, we build fully custom sailing yachts ranging from about 40 to 80 meters—each yacht is different, and every project is a unique puzzle of craftsmanship and engineering. While these impressive yachts are being built on the shop floor, as a Financial Associate, you’ll ensure that the financial administration behind the scenes is just as meticulously organized: accurate invoices, salaries paid on time, and well-maintained records. All this in an environment where no two days are the same.
You’ll be working in a team of 7 finance colleagues, with the controller serving as your point of contact. As a Financial Assistant, you and one direct colleague will be responsible for accounts payable, project administration, and payroll. You’ll divide the work and cover for each other when one of you is absent. There’s plenty of knowledge and experience within the team to draw on.

Your Role as a Financial Associate

Accounts Payable and Project Accounting

Every day, you process dozens of purchase invoices, match invoices and orders in White Vision, identify discrepancies, and process everything in AFAS. You compile weekly payment batches and prepare bank transfers. You take a proactive approach: you go out to the shop floor to arrange approvals or resolve discrepancies with a project manager.

Payroll Administration

You will collect and process payroll updates, verify the output, and handle employee onboarding and offboarding in AFAS. Together with HR, you will ensure that all employees and temporary workers are properly registered and that all laws and regulations are complied with. You periodically review leave requests and time records, and prepare pro forma calculations and employer statements.

Room for initiative

Do you see a process that could be made smarter or more efficient? If so, we’d love to hear about it, and we’ll explore the possibilities together.

What You Bring to the Table as a Financial Associate

A completed MBO-4 program in a financial field
Experience in a financial role
Experience with a professional ERP system and strong knowledge of automation
You speak and write Dutch and can get by in English
Zwartsluis is easily accessible for you
A Practical Diploma in Payroll Administration (PDL) or experience with payroll administration is preferred
Experience with AFAS is a plus

As a Financial Associate, you bring structure and clarity, even when there’s a lot going on at once. You work with precision, quickly identify discrepancies, and take initiative. You don’t wait for instructions, but actively seek collaboration with your immediate colleagues, HR, and the project team—you have strong communication skills and are approachable.

What We Offer You

As a Financial Associate at Vitters Shipyard, you’ll receive:

A full-time gross monthly salary between €3,250 and €4,500, depending on education, skills, and experience
A position for 32 to 38 hours per week
Excellent primary and secondary employment benefits in accordance with the Metal and Technology Collective Bargaining Agreement
A position that offers plenty of room for your own input and sense of ownership
Plenty of opportunities for personal growth, such as training programs and development paths

Careers at Vitters Shipyards

That’s what we build at Vitters Shipyard, guided by our motto, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” Every design is completely custom-made for the owner—no two yachts are alike. Dedicated engineers and craftsmen of various nationalities, whether full-time employees or independent contractors, work together for over a year on a single project to exceed the owner’s expectations.
