GL Accountant : Numbers, Analysis & Business

The Company

An established services group based in Brussels, present across several European countries and recognised for the quality of its offering to a demanding professional client base. Around a hundred employees, a tight-knit finance team and an environment where numbers genuinely inform decisions, not just dashboards.

What sets this role apart: a dual accounting and analytical dimension, direct exposure to senior management and varied stakeholders, internally and internationally. The offices are well located in Brussels, easily accessible by public transport.

• Preparing and filing local statutory and regulatory obligations.
• Analysing financial performance, monitoring variances and providing recommendations to management.
• Acting as a business partner for operational teams and senior management: budgets, forecasts and ad hoc analyses.

• Contributing to the continuous improvement of processes and reporting tools.

The Ideal Profile

Education : Bachelor's or Master's degree in accounting or finance.

Experience : Minimum 7 years of experience in general accounting. You take the lead on closings without needing guidance, and you are not afraid to go and get the information you need from the right people: management, partners, stakeholders.
