• Liaise with external auditors and tax advisors to support the annual audit and tax filings.
• Ensure compliance with internal controls and regulatory requirements.

• Hands‑on experience with accounting software, preferably Exact Online and Basecone; familiarity with Power BI is a plus
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of financial processes end‑to‑end
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present financial information clearly to non‑financial stakeholders
• A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset, with a real interest in improving and automating how things are done
• Relevant educational background (e.g., Finance, Accounting, Business)
• Fluency in English; Dutch is a plus
• Ability to work from our Amsterdam office
• A valid work permit for the European Union
