  • Consolidation & Group ReportingPrepare consolidation inputs, intercompany reconciliations, and group reporting packages; contribute to the alignment between BE-GAAP statutory accounts and group (IFRS) reporting.
  • Audit & Compliance — Act as a key contact for external auditors, leveraging your audit background to prepare files, anticipate questions, and strengthen internal controls.
  • Analysis & Business PartneringSupport variance analysis, margin and cost reviews, and ad-hoc financial analysis for management.
  • Process Improvement & AI-Enabled Finance — Help automate and streamline accounting workflows using modern tools, and contribute to the digital transformation of the finance function.

What we are looking for

  • Education: Master's degree in Accountancy, (Applied) Economics, Commercial Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience: Approximately 4–6 years of professional experience, ideally including several years in a Big 4 audit practice, with exposure to statutory audits, group reporting, and complex accounting matters.
  • Technical expertise: Strong command of BE-GAAP and solid working knowledge of IFRS; hands-on experience with consolidation, intercompany eliminations, and group reporting packages; familiarity with audit methodology, internal controls, and documentation standards.
  • Tools: Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, lookups, data modelling).
  • Languages: Advanced proficiency in English; professional knowledge of Dutch is highly preferred for the Belgian market.
  • Soft skills: A rigorous, hands-on professional who communicates clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders, and enjoys coaching junior colleagues.
  • Mindset: Analytical and business-curious — someone who wants to understand the numbers behind the business, not just book them, with a strong sense of ownership, respect for deadlines, and ambition to grow towards controlling, FP&A, or business analysis roles.

Nice to have

  • A complementary certification (ITAA, ACCA, or equivalent).
  • Experience with Business Central or a comparable ERP, and with consolidation or BI tools.
  • Proficiency and strong interest in AI.
  • Working knowledge of French.

Your growth path

This role is designed as a springboard. Depending on ambition and performance, natural next steps within the group include Financial Controller, FP&A / Business Analyst, or Finance Manager roles — supported by exposure to strategic projects, budgeting cycles, and the wider Super Technologies group.

  • Medical / Health Insurance
  • Open Annual Leave
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Training & Learning Development
