How you will make a difference

You will help us to ''change finance to finance change'', by taking charge of the process from receiving the invoice to payment.

Next to processing invoices:

• You will take initiatives to optimize this process, which can, for example, shorten the invoice processing time
• You will formalize and standardize the process, e.g. by improving work instructions and recording internal control measures
• You will identify and implement opportunities to make smarter, better, and more efficient use of the existing applications
• You will process bank statements into the financial administration
• You will respond to vendor inquiries and resolve payment issues effectively
