Job description

What you will do

At Swapfiets, we’re on a mission to make biking the easy, sustainable choice for everyone. We keep our members on the go by providing a high-quality ride including free check-ups and repairs. Joining us means becoming part of this purposeful mission, and working alongside a great team in a fast-paced, fun environment to make it happen!

Ready to join the ride of your life?


Start rolling up your sleeves.

We are looking for a Financial Controller to continue our growth journey and help build a foundation for scalable growth. This role is for an individual experienced with accounting and control processes across multiple entities within dynamic, international fast-paced environments, including experience with scalable projects. Are you an SAP S/4HANA wizard? Do you have strong accounting and excellent reporting skills? Then this might be something for you! 🚲 🚀

This opportunity is open for 32- 40 hours a week with at least 2 days a week at our HQ in Amsterdam (other days are flexible!).

How you pedal us forward!

Our Financial Controller is an essential part of the group finance team and reports directly to the Group Financial Controller. You will play a key role in maintaining the integrity of our financial administration. You will help drive the monthly and year-end closing and reporting. You will provide key analytical review insights and monthly reporting of entities to the group financial controller. Next to that you will be a key driver ensuring that the implementation of our new ERP systems (SAP S/4HANA) will become a success!

Key Responsibilities:

  • Financial excellence: prepare accurate and insightful monthly financial reports, including specifications, variance analysis and insightful commentary, providing key input to the Group Financial Controller

  • Compliance: ensure timely and accurate reporting and filing of all statutory and regulatory filings and statistics across entities, adhering to local requirements and deadlines

  • Monthly closing guardian: you will ensure accurate and timely monthly closing of accounting records across entities and help drive established deadlines

  • Stakeholder collaborator: you will be the primary point of contact for accounting & control topics for internal teams, external partners and auditors and will facilitate the audit process

  • Annual Statements: prepare the statutory annual accounts and be the point of contact for local operating entities

  • Accounting principles: Prepare accounting memos and identify / analyze Dutch GAAP changes

  • Intercompany: you will take ownership of the transfer pricing documentation, preparing the necessary documents on a yearly basis

  • Asset sales & asset facilitator: you will support and prepare the asset sales, and lease buyback processes

  • Projects: as an accounting & control stakeholder, actively engage and participate in ERP projects to help make them a success

  • Efficiency innovator: proactively develop improved ways of working, continuously improve our internal control framework across entities, driving efficiency, safety, and sustainability within your scope

The gear you need:

  • Bachelor’s degree (BA/BSc) in Accountancy, or a related field equivalent

  • Ideally 5-7 years of relevant experience in finance, accounting & control, or Big 4 experience

  • Strong command of technical accounting principles and practices

  • A demonstrated ability to exercise professional skepticism

  • Excellent communication skills in English (other languages like Dutch, German or Danish are a big plus)

  • Proven ability to work effectively and collaboratively within a team

  • A proactive mindset with a drive for continuous improvement

  • Experience with SAP S/4HANA and Lucanet is an advantage

Benefits for a smooth ride!

  • Salary of up to €4.500 gross per month, depending on your experience

  • Your own Swapfiets (lend-lease) 🚲!

  • 32 vacation days for ample time off (that’s right, next to 25 vacation days you can use your 7 Swap days as you please)

  • A solid pension plan and a discount on your health insurance

  • Windows laptop and phone allowance

  • A challenging and rewarding role with significant responsibility and friendly colleagues

  • Travel allowance (if you live more than 11 km away from the office, otherwise you’ll just use your Swapfiets, right.. 😎?)

  • Delicious and affordable lunch at the office prepared by our lunch heroes

  • Access to Urban Sports Club for Business arrangement (to promote your healthy lifestyle!)

  • Learning programs development opportunities through our L&D department

  • Engaging workshops and inspirational talks

  • One day off per year to do voluntary work paid by Swapfiets

  • Flexibility to work from and at the office in Amsterdam

Ready for the Swapfiets adventure?

If you are a detailed-oriented finance professional with a passion for financial excellence, and you’re excited about contributing to a sustainable and rapid growing company, we encourage you to apply!

Pedaling towards inclusivity at Swapfiets!

At Swapfiets, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusivity. While we’re proud of our progress, we know there’s more to do. Research shows underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet all requirements—but we don’t check all the boxes either! We value equal opportunity, unique perspectives, and diverse experiences. So, even if you don’t see yourself represented on our team, we encourage you to apply—because when we pedal together, we go further!
