Finance administrator

At ACE, we are looking for an experienced Finance Administrator with a working and thinking level equivalent to Dutch MBO+ or HBO education.

Financial administration is at the heart of this role. Payroll will also be an important part of your responsibilities, alongside a range of practical HR administration tasks.

This is a hands-on administrative role, rather than a controller or senior finance officer position. We are looking for someone with a solid grounding in financial administration who works independently and understands how the different parts of the accounts fit together.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

You will join a small, calm team of three, with direct communication and a high level of mutual trust. You will also work closely with HR, particularly on payroll and personnel administration.

Payroll administration

• Process and check monthly payroll changes;

• Understand and verify payroll journal entries;

• Reconcile payroll with the financial accounts and general ledger;

• Take responsibility for running the monthly payroll independently after an initial training period;

• Process personnel changes and provide administrative support for onboarding, internal moves, offboarding, contract amendments and changes to terms of employment.

WHAT DO YOU BRING?

• A working and thinking level equivalent to Dutch MBO+ or HBO education, preferably with a background in financial administration;
• Several years of relevant work experience;
• A sound understanding of bookkeeping, including the balance sheet, profit and loss account and general ledger;
• An interest in payroll administration or some experience in this area;
• The ability to manage payroll independently after an initial training period;
• Good Excel skills and familiarity with ERP systems; experience with AFAS is an advantage;
• An accurate, practical and hands-on approach;
• The ability to identify and investigate discrepancies independently;
• The ability to work independently while communicating clearly and in good time;
• A good command of spoken and written English.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

• A gross monthly salary of €3,300–€3,900 on a full-time basis;
• 31 days of annual leave;
• Travel allowance;
• Pension scheme;
• An initial one-year contract with the prospect of permanent employment;
• A pleasant working environment in an informal, non-hierarchical team.
