Finance | GT-Retail | Naarden Vesting

For our financial administration, we are looking for an accurate and independent Assistant Controller.

GT-Retail is a trading organization that collaborates with major retail clients and suppliers domestically and internationally. Within our organization, lines of communication are short, the work atmosphere is informal, and you are given a lot of responsibility.

In this broad role, you ensure that our financial records are up-to-date, complete, and reliable. You not only process invoices and payments but also perform checks on orders, direct purchasing costs, and general ledger accounts. In doing so, you make a significant contribution to our monthly closing, margin reporting, and financial information provision.

What will you be doing?

  • Processing, verifying, and recording purchase invoices via an automated invoice processing system;
  • Verify whether purchase and sales orders in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central have been processed correctly and in accordance with the commercial agreements made;
  • Periodically process and verify direct purchasing costs for the monthly closing and commercial margin reporting, including reconciliation with received purchase invoices;
  • Managing and monitoring outstanding debtor and creditor accounts;
  • Preparing and processing payment batches so that suppliers are paid on time;
  • Daily processing and verification of bank transactions;
  • Matching and reconciling debtor, creditor, and general ledger accounts;
  • Reconciling, reconciling, and correcting interim accounts;
  • Preparing and processing journal entries;
  • Assisting with periodic monthly and annual closings;
  • Preparing the weekly finance meeting, including overviews of outstanding items, accounts receivable monitoring, inventory, invoices to be received, and other financial points of attention, and recording these in Topical;
  • Identifying deviations and contributing ideas for improvements in our administrative processes.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who works accurately, takes responsibility, and enjoys figuring out exactly how things work. You can work well independently but also easily coordinate with colleagues from Sales, Purchasing, and Finance, among others.

You enjoy working in a practical trading organization where no day is quite the same and where you immediately see your contribution to the administration and reporting.

  • A completed MBO education in a financial-administrative field;
  • Several years of relevant work experience in a similar position;
  • Good knowledge of financial administration and accounting processes;
  • Good skills in Microsoft Excel;
  • A good command of the Dutch language;
  • An accurate, structured, and proactive work attitude;
  • The ability to identify deviations and investigate independently.

Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise and Continia Document Capture is a plus.
Experience with reports or downloads from Business Central to Excel, for example via an Excel add-in, is a plus.

Our evolving financial environment

In the coming period, we will be modernizing our financial environment and making the move to Business Central in the Cloud. In doing so, we will make greater use of AI, Power BI, Power Automate, and other smart automation solutions. You will have the opportunity to contribute your ideas and grow with us in this process.

What do we offer?

You will join a compact and committed organization with short lines of communication and an informal working atmosphere. You will have a varied role with a great deal of personal responsibility and the opportunity to contribute ideas for the further improvement of our administrative processes.

  • A competitive salary, depending on knowledge and experience;
  • Good secondary employment conditions;
  • A company laptop and phone, so that you can perform your work both in the office and flexibly;
  • A broad and varied administrative position;
  • A high degree of independence and responsibility;
  • Room for personal development;
  • An organization where your work directly contributes to reliable financial and commercial reporting;
  • A pleasant working environment with committed colleagues;
  • A workspace in a characteristic historic building in the Naarden Fortress;
  • A catered lunch at the office;
  • Regular fun team outings and informal activities.
