General Ledger Accountant

General Ledger Accountant

Do you aspire to a financial role within an international market leading company in a centralized finance department? Are you a (slightly) more experienced financial who knows the “ins and outs” within the GL and you can easily switch between various European entities? Then we have an interesting job for you at PF Concept International!

An interesting phase to join, because our Finance & Control activities are in a transition from a decentralized to a centralized department for our European activities. Currently we are in the last phase of the centralization of our financial administration at PF Concept International’s headquarter in the Netherlands.

Our current Senior GL Accountant is gradually growing towards a totally new role within the Finance department. That is why we are looking for an experienced and reliable new team member. You will work in a team of 4 General Ledger colleagues and closely with 3 Financial Controllers. You report to the Group Controller EU.
