In recent years, the team has worked hard to achieve more structure, better processes, and higher quality financial information. The next step is to further integrate administration and control, so that everyone becomes more broadly deployable and we can further improve processes.
The atmosphere? Open, informal, and committed. We work hard, help each other, and appreciate a healthy dose of humor. You will be given a lot of freedom and responsibility, but you are never alone.

Performing month-end closings including analyses and justifications.

Compiling, verifying and analysing balance sheet specifications and profit and loss accounts.

Who are you?

You are analytically strong, work accurately, and can clearly explain financial topics to colleagues both within and outside of Finance. No long theoretical stories, but a practical approach to what is needed to move forward.

● Experience with ERP systems and an interest in improving systems and processes.
● Proficient in Excel and working with financial data.
● You are a strong communicator and enjoy collaborating with colleagues to achieve improvements.
● Fluent in Dutch and English.
What do you get from us?
At Verstegen, you'll be in a role where your knowledge and experience are important for the next step of our finance department. You'll join an environment where much has already been improved, but where there is still plenty of room to make processes smarter and more future-proof.
In addition, we offer:
● A gross monthly salary commensurate with your experience.
● 8.33% holiday allowance and a €900 year-end bonus.
