ABOUT THE ROLE:
As an Accounting Specialist, you will work closely with the Finance Administration & Tax Manager to support general accounting activities and contribute to accurate monthly closings. You'll help maintain effective financial procedures and internal controls in line with company and statutory policies, providing valuable assistance during financial reporting processes.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:
In your role, you'll oversee daily accounting operations, ensuring entries are correctly recorded according to Belgian and Dutch Accounting Standards. You'll assist with maintaining and reconciling general ledger accounts, including supplier accounts and employee expenses. Your attention to detail will help ensure accurate classification of expenses and support timely and reliable financial reporting.
You'll coordinate Accounts Payable tasks, making sure invoices and payments are processed accurately. You'll verify that VAT rates on supplier invoices are correctly applied and regularly review vendor accounts to prevent discrepancies. Your role includes managing timely invoice bookings, responding effectively to supplier inquiries, and helping to prepare payment proposals. You'll maintain and update vendor information in compliance with local guidelines and follow up regularly on invoice processing status, escalating any unresolved issues as needed.
Additionally, you'll assist with maintaining corporate databases, keeping Power of Attorney listings accurate and ensuring invoice records remain up-to-date. You'll collaborate with shared service teams to verify that invoices are recorded correctly and help facilitate clear and efficient communication with external partners.
Your role involves supporting the finance team with day-to-day operational tasks, assisting in preparing documentation for audits, and providing administrative support to different business units. You'll also help with internal training related to purchase requests and orders, contributing to smooth operational processes across the organization.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
You're a great fit if you have an Accounting degree and ideally 1–3 years of relevant experience in accounting or financial roles. Familiarity with SAP systems is advantageous. Fluency in English is necessary, and knowledge of French or Dutch is beneficial. You're a strong communicator, enjoy collaborating with diverse teams, and possess an analytical, problem-solving mindset.
