Job description

Amsterdam (Zuid) | Hybrid (4 days in office) | Up to €5,000/month

Most finance roles hand you a process and ask you not to break it.

This one hands you a blank page.

You're joining a Dutch SaaS scale-up that’s rebuilding itself from the ground up... new architecture, new billing platform, new markets and the finance function is being rebuilt right alongside it. You won’t be slotting into someone else’s system. You’ll be the one deciding what good looks like.

The company helps thousands of organisations stay safe and compliant in a space where getting it wrong isn’t an option. Growing fast, already live in multiple markets, and expanding into more. The ambition is simple: global market leader inside five years.

Real ownership - you shape how finance runs, not just how it reports

Lead the AI play - agentic workflows and automation to kill the repetitive grind

Clear runway to Business Controller as the function matures

Build the financial rails for international expansion - new entities, new markets

Ground-floor seat at a scale-up with genuine momentum

What you’ll be doing:

• Run the day-to-day - debtors, creditors, invoicing, payments, payroll, tax
• Own month, quarter and year-end close, plus annual reporting
• Build management reporting and analysis that actually drives decisions
• Take charge of billing and revenue recognition as a new subscription system goes live
• Lead on AI tools and automation to strip out repetitive work
• Help stand up new legal entities as the business scales internationally

You’ll love this if...

• You have 1-4 years in finance and you’re hungry for more scope, fast
• You’d rather build and improve processes than just maintain them
• You’re fluent in Dutch and English (Dutch is essential here)
• You’re motivated to learn no matter your experience level

Because great teams are Built Different.
