- Calculate and maintain key provisions, including bad debt and accrued income provisions.
- Support the preparation and submission of Dutch VAT returns, ICP declarations (EU Sales declarations) and WKR (Work-Related Costs Scheme) calculations.
- Assist with the preparation of Dutch statutory accounts and support the year-end audit process.
- Ensure all spreadsheets, processes and desktop procedures are fully documented, regularly reviewed and aligned with global policies and procedures.
- Ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations and accounting standards, proactively identifying and mitigating risks where necessary.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to streamline processes, increase efficiency and enhance the effectiveness of financial service delivery.
