We are looking for a proactive Finance & Administrative Specialist to take ownership of the financial administration for our client's office in the Netherlands while collaborating closely with colleagues in Germany and other international locations.

This is a highly autonomous role where you will act as a trusted business partner rather than simply an administrator. You will manage the full spectrum of financial operations, contribute to process improvements, and play an important role in the implementation of a new ERP environment.

The position is offered on a part-time basis (16 hours per week), with the potential to grow in hours depending on the needs and future growth of the company.

• Supporting payroll administration processes
• Monitoring financial data and ensuring accuracy and compliance
• Contributing to the implementation of a new ERP system
• Identifying opportunities to improve and automate financial processes
• Providing valuable financial insights and recommendations to support business growth
• Collaborating with colleagues in the Netherlands, Germany, and other international locations

Requirements

Requirements

• Strong understanding of financial administration, reporting, taxation, and compliance processes
• Experience working with ERP systems and Microsoft Office applications
• Excellent English (C1+) communication skills and at least intermediate Dutch (B1/B2)
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities effectively
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to suggest improvements and new ideas
• Willingness to travel occasionally to Germany

Nice to Have

• Experience within international trade, import/export, or a similar international business environment
• Knowledge of German, and/or Portuguese, alongside the required languages
• Interest in digitalisation, automation, and AI-driven business tools
• Experience supporting ERP implementations or system migrations

Working conditions

• Flexible part-time position (16 hours per week) with room to grow alongside the business
• Salary between €4.125 to 4.375 gross per month, based on full-time. Based on 16 hours p.w., this would come out to €1.650 to 1.750 gross per month.
• Hybrid working environment with a high degree of flexibility
• Possibility to work abroad for some time in the year, subject to business requirements
• Learning and development budget
• Overtime compensation in either pay or time off
• Company equipment required to perform your role
• Reimbursement of business-related travel expenses
• Commuting allowance of €0,23 per kilometer
