Accountant / Boekhouder

What you’ll own
You’ll take care of the day-to-day financial administration across our organisation, working closely with the wider Finance team and our external advisers.
In practice, that means:

• Keeping our bookkeeping and general ledger accurate and up to date
• Processing purchase and sales invoices, expenses and journal entries
• Managing accounts payable and receivable, including payment runs and outstanding balances
• Reconciling bank accounts, subledgers and balance-sheet accounts
• Supporting Dutch VAT returns, CBS reporting and other routine financial requirements
• Supporting month-end closing and helping to maintain reliable financial reporting
• Spotting practical ways to improve the quality and efficiency of our financial administration

What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is comfortable taking responsibility for the detail and can work independently without losing sight of the bigger picture.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Hands-on experience in bookkeeping, financial administration or a similar role
• An MBO+/HBO qualification in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or equivalent practical experience
• Strong knowledge of general ledger bookkeeping, journal entries, AP/AR and reconciliations
• Experience with Dutch financial administration
• Fluent Dutch and professional working proficiency in English
• A structured, accurate and detail-oriented way of working
• Confidence working independently, managing deadlines and taking ownership

Experience with German bookkeeping or financial administration is a plus, as is experience working with multiple entities or in an international organisation.

Artinis & NIRx develop technology used by leading universities, researchers and industry partners around the world to better understand the human brain and physiology.
We’re an international organisation, but we work with relatively flat structures and short lines of communication. 

People are trusted to take ownership of their work, ask questions and improve things when they see a better way.

For this role in particular, you’ll be joining at a time when our finance processes are evolving following the merger. There’s room not only to manage the day-to-day administration, but also to help us create more consistency, structure and reliability as the organisation grows.
You can also expect:

• A collaborative and international working environment
• A role with plenty of autonomy and responsibility
• Short decision-making lines and direct access to colleagues across the business
• Opportunities to learn and develop
• A competitive compensation and benefits package
• A team that values practical solutions and continuous improvement
