Sensolus is growing fast and our finance team needs to keep pace! We're looking for a Financial Controller who's ready to own the numbers, sharpen our reporting, and help build the financial backbone of a scaling tech company. 🚀
This isn't a tick-the-box finance job: no routines, no managing teams, no bumping into rigid structures but rather exploring different domains, taking ownership over improvements and working as a strong, complementary unit!
Who we are
Sensolus is a Belgian IoT scale-up, building asset tracking solutions for logistics and industrial companies (think Airbus, ABInBev, DHL). Today we are a team of around 60 people, operating internationally with customers all over the world. 🌍
Our finance team is deliberately lean, hands-on and ambitious. You'll work closely with our CFO and Finance Accountant and combine deep technical accounting with hands-on operational finance and genuinely make an impact from day one. 🎯
What you'll do
In this role you will combine technical accounting ownership, financial reporting, and operational finance responsibilities in a small but ambitious finance team.
We're a lean team, which means you'll get hands-on with a broad range of topics:
🧮 Accounting & Closing
* Drive the monthly closing process together with our Financial Accountant
* Own BEGAAP accounting from A to Z (you're the expert in the room!)
* Review VAT returns and keep us on the right side of Belgian tax obligations
* Support preparation of annual accounts and corporate tax filings
* Lead audit preparation and make sure we're always ready
🗽International Finance
* Be the finance point of contact for our US subsidiary, Sensolus Inc.
* Coordinate with external accountants in the United States
* Support group consolidation between Belgium and the US entity
* Ensure intercompany accounting is clean and well-documented
📊Financial Reporting
* Support the CFO with monthly management reporting that actually tells a story
* Make sure our financial data ties seamlessly to key SaaS metrics (ARR, margins, and more)
⚙️Operational Finance
* Insurance administration together with our broker
* Subsidy administration and reporting
* Fleet administration in collaboration with HR
* Financial aspects of HR processes (payroll review, warrant schemes, etc.)
🤝External Stakeholders
* Build and maintain strong relationships with auditors, tax advisors, banks, and subsidy agencies
* Keep our external compliance processes running smoothly
💯Process Improvement
* Spot inefficiencies and take ownership in fixing them (#worksmarternotharder)
* Help automate KPI reporting and accounting workflows as we scale
Who you are
You have a solid accounting foundation, a pragmatic mindset, and you thrive when you're given real ownership. You don't wait to be told what needs fixing because you see it and you act. You probably:
* Have 4–8 years of experience in an in-house finance role, or came up through audit and made the move to industry
* Know BEGAAP accounting inside out
* Are comfortable with VAT, annual accounts, and Belgian tax compliance
* Have some exposure to international accounting environments
* Have a basic handle on consolidation and intercompany accounting
* Love working in a hands-on environment where no two days look exactly the same
* Are structured, reliable, and detail-oriented (without being rigid)
* Communicate fluently in Dutch and English
* Have experience with Exact Online, Teamleader, or similar tools
