Who are we looking for?
As an Accountant, you will play a leading role in further professionalizing the administration and setting up a full-fledged finance and control function for our Italian organization. This role is a unique opportunity to grow together with our Italian organization and to be part of a great and ambitious team. Therefore, you are a true team player who continuously seeks improvement and development both personally and for the team. You have the ambition to grow with the organization.

One of your main responsibilities is to manage the process of invoicing our customers and make sure that the cash is collected.

The challenge for you lies in setting up processes that lead to a high quality and efficient administration, which gives you daily energy and gives you the opportunity to hand over operational activities to another colleague in a later stage.

Another priority is to gradually take over tax and compliance duties from our external service provider and make sure that all the local compliance matters are managed in the right way. Off course also the regular financial closing and reporting processes are an important responsibility. In the future we would like you to become the financial right-hand and sparring partner of the management and also operate as a business controller for the Italian organization.

A small selection of your responsibilities will be:

• Manage the invoicing and collection process.
  
• Month-end closing and reporting to the Group.
  
• Manage compliance with tax regulations (VAT, corporate income tax & payroll tax).
  
• Initiate process optimization.
  
• Provide (financial) information to the local management.
  

Your workplace will be in Milano, and you will work within the Italian team. You will report to the Group Finance Director who is in charge of the centrally organized finance organization.

• 
  Higher professional education – Bachelor level minimum
  
• A completed education in a relevant field (Corporate finance or equivalent)

• Solid knowledge and experience with SAP is a strong plus
