About the Role
This is a hands-on finance and administration role. No managing large teams, no strategic CFO work — accurate, timely bookkeeping, invoice processing, vendor payments, and monthly financial reporting.
Right now the CEO handles the company's financial administration on top of everything else. That is not sustainable. You take ownership of the financial operations so the CEO has a clean P&L by the 5th of each month and can trust that every vendor invoice is processed within 48 hours and every payment goes out on time.
Day-to-day you will:
* Process incoming invoices from vendors and contractors within 48 hours — log, categorise, flag for payment
* Process outgoing invoices to clients — generate, send, and follow up on outstanding payments
* Maintain a vendor payment schedule so nothing is paid late
* Track all expenses in a shared spreadsheet (updated weekly)
* Prepare the monthly P&L report by the 5th of each month
* Support the CEO with ad hoc admin tasks: contract filing, vendor onboarding paperwork, expense reimbursements
* Coordinate with the outsourced bookkeeper / Dutch accounting firm on VAT filing
* Flag cash flow issues proactively
What You'll Own (KPIs)
1. Invoice processing time: Within 48 hours of receipt
2. Monthly P&L report: Delivered to Michel by the 5th of each month
3. Vendor payment accuracy: 100% on-time payments

* Experience using Wise or similar international payment platforms
* Familiarity with Xero, Exact Online, or similar Dutch accounting software

Compensation and Terms
