About the role 

We are looking for a motivated Accountant to join our international SaaS finance team from Ghent. You will be a hands-on member of the team, supporting the monthly close, preparing Belgian VAT filings, and processing payroll entries in the general ledger.

You will work closely with the senior members of the finance team, who will provide guidance and review, and you will have room to grow your technical depth and ownership over time.

 Key Responsibilities

• General Ledger Accounting: Support the month-end close by preparing journal entries, accruals, prepayments, and account reconciliations, and help maintain accurate deferred revenue records.
• Payroll Accounting: Process and book monthly Belgian payroll entries in the GL, including social security accruals and related personnel provisions, and reconcile payroll accounts to payroll provider reports.
• VAT Compliance: Prepare and file periodic Belgian VAT returns, reconcile VAT accounts, and support related listings and reporting requirements.
• Audit & Statutory Support: Prepare schedules and supporting documentation for statutory and financial audits, and assist the senior team in responding to auditor queries.
• Process Improvement: Flag discrepancies, document recurring processes, and contribute ideas to make the close faster and more accurate.

Required Skills

• Experience Level: hands-on accounting experience (open to strong junior candidates with solid VAT and payroll booking exposure).
• Practical experience preparing and filing Belgian VAT returns.
• Experience booking payroll entries in the general ledger and reconciling payroll accounts.
• Solid understanding of double-entry bookkeeping, accruals, and month-end close routines.
• Working knowledge of Belgian GAAP (exposure to IFRS is a plus).
• Proficiency in Excel and experience with an ERP or accounting system.
• Industry Experience: Exposure to a SaaS or recurring-revenue environment is a plus.
• Audit Background: Experience at an audit or accounting firm, or experience supporting audits, is a plus.
• International Mindset: Comfortable working in an international setting and communicating in English. Dutch proficiency is highly preferred for local VAT and statutory coordination.
• Work Style: Detail-oriented, curious, and reliable, with a willingness to learn and take increasing ownership of your work.
