The Role

The Billing & Accounts Payable Analyst supports the financial integrity of recurring revenue streams within a cloud‑services environment. This role manages the end‑to‑end billing cycle for subscription, consumption‑based, and contract‑based cloud services. Responsibilities include validating usage data, ensuring billing accuracy, maintaining compliance with Dutch VAT/BTW and EU invoicing rules, and partnering with cross‑functional teams such as Sales, Cloud Operations, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations.

This role will also work alongside our Accounts Payable team verifying invoices, matching them with purchase orders, resolving discrepancies, maintaining vendor records, and scheduling payments. AP staff ensure compliance with internal controls, support month‑end closing activities, and contribute to accurate financial reporting. Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to work effectively with both internal teams and external vendors are essential.

The ideal candidate has strong analytical skills and thrives in a high‑growth, technology‑driven environment where data complexity and fast-changing service configurations are common.
