The department

The Accounting Services team is an integral part of Sanoma Group Finance Control and provides accounting services to Sanoma’s Learning and Media operations. As a function we aim to provide scalable and high-quality accounting services, driving value from an end-to-end perspective. We want to be the go-to party for all local accounting related questions.

Our Finance function is going through a significant transformation program where we are implementing new finance systems and are reshaping our finance organization.

As a result we are now building an entirely new accounting team with where continuous improvement is in our DNA. Sanoma’s culture is dynamic, and we are looking for driven, positive individuals who are not afraid to take ownership and make decisions independently. You are quickly able to adapt to new processes and tools, can resolve any problem quickly and understand how to optimise our systems and ways of working. You have a customer-first mindset, actively communicating towards and collaborating with our internal customers.

The job

On a daily basis you will handle bank statement postings, allocation of incoming payments, customer refunds and reconciliations. You have an important role in securing the companies’ cashflow by taking ownership of collection activities, including dunning, aging reporting and bad debt handling. You support a smooth month-end and closing process by handling all closing activities and reconciliations in a timely manner, including handling periodical internal controls.

You collaborate closely with business stakeholders and customers alike. Always keeping our customers’ needs in mind, you drive continuous improvements within the daily OTC activities and never stop looking for improvement areas within the process. You may also participate as a subject-matter expert in ongoing OTC related projects.

• Bachelor degree or similar, preferably a major in Accounting or Finance
• Previous work experience in a similar role considered an advantage
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in English and local language
• Customer driven continuous improvement mindset
