Job description

What Do We Do?

The shift to electric mobility is happening. Electra is accelerating it.

Transportation is one of Europe's biggest sources of carbon emissions. Since 2021, Electra exists to make charging so simple that electric vehicles become the obvious choice for everyone.

In 5 years, we've built a team of 300+ talents from 21 nationalities in 10 countries.

We’ve grown into one of Europe's leading fast-charging operators by deploying fast, reliable infrastructure and user experiences across our own network, and we’re now expanding to thousands more charging points in Europe with our own eMSP.

Backed by over €1 billion in funding, we’re looking for bold, passionate, collaborative talents to drive Europe’s energy transition.

If that sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you!

Your Missions

Own the general ledger and the full statutory accounting cycle for Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.

You’ll be part of a three‑person team: the Finance Manager, a Junior Accountant, and you.

Your responsibilities:

Supervision of general and subsidiary accounting

• General accounting: supervision, review, and correction of general accounting, payroll, fixed assets, taxes, VAT.

• Cost management accounting: review and correction of cost accounting axes.

• Subsidiary accounting: managing customer collections follow‑up, justifying supplier balances, keeping account reconciliation up to date, confirmations (circularization)

• Accounting organization and inventory valuation

Closing and reporting

• Strengthening group closing processes

• Managing calendars and tasks to be completed

• Calculating cut‑offs (prepaid expense provisions, accrued expenses not yet invoiced, accrued expenses, accrued income, etc.)

• Preparing adjustment journal entries and Benelux/HQ reporting bases

• Supervision of VAT work and other tax‑related matters

Your Profile

You have a background in accounting with at least 5 years of experience in similar roles (prior experience in an accounting firm is a plus).

You can work autonomously on your tasks and are motivated to join a growing scale-up!
