Not exactly what you were looking for?

We are looking for a Financial Specialist for our Finance department.

In this multifaceted role, you will be responsible for accounts payable and will assist with payroll administration. Together with your colleagues, you will ensure accurate financial processing, timely payments, and reliable record-keeping. In addition, you will actively contribute ideas on how to further optimize processes within the organization.

Your Role as a Financial Specialist

You’ll be joining a dynamic environment where impressive projects are brought to life with passion and expertise in a niche market. There, amid the hustle and bustle of the day, you’ll ensure that accounts payable are in order. You’ll also handle payroll.

You’ll work as part of a team of 7 finance colleagues and report to the Controller. You’ll have one direct colleague with whom you’ll share responsibility for the accurate and timely payment of invoices and for payroll administration. You’ll divide up the work and cover for each other when one of you is absent.
The team has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and you can always turn to your colleagues for support or to ask questions.

Project Administration

Every day, you process dozens of purchase invoices. You match invoices and orders using White Vision, identify discrepancies, request approval, and process everything in the AFAS ERP system. You also compile weekly payment batches and prepare bank transfers. You take a proactive approach and regularly visit the shop floor to arrange invoice approval or resolve discrepancies. To do this, you coordinate with project managers or other colleagues.

Payroll Administration

You will collect and process all payroll changes and verify the corresponding output. You’ll also handle employee onboarding and offboarding in AFAS. Together with the HR department, you’ll register all employees and temporary workers and ensure that all administrative matters are in order to comply with laws and regulations. Periodically, you will review the leave entries and time records of colleagues and temporary workers.

You will also prepare pro forma calculations and employer statements. To do this, you will work closely with the HR department.

Room for initiative

You enjoy contributing ideas on how to further automate processes and proactively suggest ways to make things smarter, more efficient, or better.

Personal Characteristics

You enjoy bringing structure to tasks and maintaining a clear overview, even when there’s a lot going on at once. Thanks to your meticulous approach and attention to detail, you ensure that administrative processes are carried out correctly and on time. You quickly identify discrepancies and take immediate action to resolve issues.

You also take a proactive approach. You don’t just wait for things to happen; instead, you actively seek collaboration with colleagues in Finance, HR, and the project organization. You have strong communication skills, are approachable, and know how to gather information or coordinate efforts in a pleasant manner when necessary.

You feel right at home in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. It’s precisely the combination of project administration, payroll administration, and process improvement that energizes you. You also enjoy contributing ideas on how to organize work in a smarter, more efficient, and more future-proof way.
