Job description

Context & Impact

We're looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Finance team at our HQ in Merelbeke, Belgium — stepping into a key role within a fast-moving, international environment. As Senior Accountant, you'll be the backbone of our day-to-day accounting operations across multiple legal entities, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and continuity across the full accounting cycle. Beyond keeping the engine running, you'll play an active role in shaping how our Finance team works — contributing to AI-driven workflow innovation that will allow us to further scale.

Challenge

• Maintaining the pace and quality of operational accounting without disruption while you onboard and get up to speed across multiple legal entities
• Actively building and championing new AI-assisted workflows within the accounting team — not waiting to be asked, but bringing your own initiatives to the table
• Supporting the team's transition toward a higher-volume, future-ready Finance function — balancing today's deadlines with tomorrow's ways of working

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and process timely supplier payments and process all payroll-related accounting entries
• Process bank statements and post and maintain evidence for general ledger transactions
• Manage month-end and year-end closing: prepare accurate accruals and deferrals, review and control the general ledger, and revaluate foreign currency positions
• Ensure reconciliation of intercompany positions and follow up the fixed asset register from assets under construction through to disposal
• Assist with international VAT and corporate tax regulations, prepare VAT declaration
• Assist in the financial audit and support A/P and A/R accountants with accounting-related questions
• Identify and drive opportunities to improve accounting processes, and actively participate in — and initiate — finance-related AI and IT projects

Hard skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting and/or Finance
• 5+ years of experience in a similar senior accounting role or in an audit/yax advisory role
• Strong knowledge of IFRS
• Solid tax knowledge — VAT and corporate income tax
• Advanced Excel skills
• Fluent in English and Dutch

Soft skills

• Strong attention to detail — you get the numbers right, every time
• Ability to work autonomously and manage your own priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management skills
• Resilient under pressure and able to adapt quickly when priorities shift
• Genuine team player who supports and uplifts those around you

AI Specific Skills

Lansweeper is an AI-native company. As Senior Accountant, you won't just use AI tools — you'll help define how we use them in Finance. You're expected to actively participate in building new AI-assisted accounting workflows and to bring your own ideas and initiatives to the table. You'll work with tools like Microsoft Copilot and Claude to explore smarter ways to handle reconciliation, reporting, and other accounting processes. You don't need to have all the answers on day one, but you need the curiosity, drive, and hands‑on mindset to figure them out — and the willingness to champion that transformation within the team.

Team Info

You'll join the Finance team at Lansweeper's HQ in Merelbeke, Belgium, reporting to the Accounting Manager. The broader Finance team consists of 8 people: 4 in Accounting and 4 in FP&A — a collaborative, international group working across multiple legal entities.

Pay Transparency

At Lansweeper, every role is assigned to a level defined by three things: the expertise it requires, the complexity it involves, and the scope of impact it carries. Each level maps to a salary band based on salary benchmarks from the Software/SaaS industry of your country, so your pay reflects what the market pays for comparable roles. The gross salary range for this role is €68,513 – €111,334 (EUR) (Belgium) (based on full-time employment). Where you land within that range depends on the expertise you bring, the complexity you have navigated, the scope of impact you have owned, and your track record of delivering results in comparable roles — the same criteria applied consistently to every candidate. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
