Job description

Your expertise helps make the difference.

As an Account Receivable Accountant, you ensure that our Accounts Receivable processes across Center Parcs Europe are accurate, timely and reliable. You work on invoicing, payments, balance sheet accounts and financial closings, and you investigate discrepancies when figures do not add up.

Your role goes beyond day-to-day processing. You support the Accounts Receivable Manager with topics such as credit control and complex cases, work closely with our Shared Service Center and help improve and further automate our AR processes.

Mission

What will you do?

In this role, you will gain a broad view of the full Accounts Receivable process within an international organisation. You will:

• review accruals, journal entries, VAT postings and manual billing requests for accuracy and compliance with financial guidelines;
• manage and review ad-hoc billing, debit and credit notes, and help resolve complex B2B and B2C payment discrepancies;
• maintain Accounts Receivable balance sheet accounts and identify potential financial risks;
• analyse disputed B2B invoices and payment issues and recommend appropriate follow-up actions;
• oversee the accounting flows related to billing and payments;
• support reconciliations, month-end closings and audits, ensuring information is available accurately and on time;
• work closely with our external Shared Service Center and support escalations and more complex accounting questions;
• actively contribute to improving, standardising and automating Accounts Receivable processes.

You will work closely with colleagues in Finance Controlling, Accounting, Treasury and various operational departments. You will also have contact with external parties such as customers, banks, auditors and other partners.

Profile

What do you bring?

For this role, we are looking for someone with a solid financial foundation who works accurately, enjoys analysing issues and does not stop at simply identifying that something is wrong.

• You have a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration or a comparable field.
• You have a solid understanding of Accounts Receivable processes, credit control and financial reporting.
• A first relevant work experience in financial accounting, Accounts Receivable or a similar financial environment is preferred.
• You have experience working with Excel and SAP.
• You are fluent in both Dutch and English. Knowledge of French is a plus.

An additional qualification or certification in financial accounting is an advantage.

You enjoy working with others, communicate clearly and maintain high quality standards. You analyse issues carefully, while also focusing on practical solutions that can improve processes in a sustainable way.

Your place within Finance

You report to the Accounts Receivable Manager and have no direct reports.

In this position, you act as an important link between the Accounts Receivable team, our external Shared Service Center and various Finance and business departments across Center Parcs Europe. This gives you exposure to a wide range of financial processes and stakeholders and allows you to further develop your expertise in Accounts Receivable.

Working at Center Parcs Europe
