Financial Controller
Adyen is looking for a Financial Controller for the Group Finance team in Amsterdam. As a Financial Controller, you will be focused primarily on owning the trial balance for various North America entities, overseeing the day-to-day of the entities and managing overarching projects. You will interact and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders in order to support our continued business growth in a scalable, controlled and compliant way. The ideal candidate takes ownership of our local financials for various North America entities, and has a drive to understand these and is able to tie this back to where we’re heading as a Group globally.
Being part of the centralized Financial Controlling team in Amsterdam means you’ll be working in the (financial) engine room of a registered and listed financial institution; being part of a relatively small team means you’ll be (in)directly involved in a lot of very interesting topics that reach beyond the North America borders.
What you will do
- Managing the general ledger of multiple entities and branches ranging from mid - high complexity;
- Preparing and reviewing month end close activities, reviewing the reconciliations performed for the entities managed like fixed asset reconciliations, prepayment reconciliation, accruals reconciliation; along with posting routing month-end journals;
- Working closely with Adyen regulatory teams to support them in regulatory reportings to ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory deadlines;
- Working closely with tax teams based in Amsterdam, for tax filings and tax provisioning, by gathering and providing necessary information and liaising with external advisors;
- Preparation of financial statements, coordination with auditors to facilitate timely and smooth audit processes, and addressing their queries;
- Meet ad-hoc reporting requests from multiple stakeholders.
Who you are
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in financial control / accounting / audit;
- US GAAP experience is preferred, CPA/ CA/ RA (or similar) is a plus;
- You are detail-oriented, with an analytical mindset;
- Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously, ability to prioritize;
- Proactive in projects you take on, able to work independently but never afraid to ask for help;
- Able to think 2 steps ahead. We are looking for someone that can question the status quo, thinking critically and creatively to implement solutions to scale during Adyen’s rapid growth.
