Project Accounts Clerk

Function

As a Projects Accounting Assistant, you will be responsible for the financial and administrative management of your projects.

Your responsibilities will include, amongst other things:

• the administrative set-up of new project files;
• processing and following up on the necessary financial and administrative documents;

So you’re not just dealing with figures. You also keep a close eye on the full administrative picture surrounding your projects. Thanks to your meticulous follow-up, project and site managers know where they stand with their files, and financial matters are dealt with promptly.

• You’re strong with numbers and enjoy working with financial data.
• You enjoy managing several cases at the same time.

• You take the initiative and don’t just sit back and wait when you realise something needs to be done.
• You communicate easily with various colleagues and external parties.
• You have a good knowledge of Dutch and a basic knowledge of French and English.
• You are proficient in using MS Office, including Excel and Word.
• Experience with Business Central, Key Entry or Easy Form would be an advantage.
