Financial Administration Employee

Full-time/part-time 32–38 hours

Do you already have some experience as a financial administration employee and would you like to further develop your knowledge of accounts payable in an international organization?

Do you want to be part of a professional and international finance team, collaborating closely with nine dedicated colleagues?

Then keep reading, because we are looking for you!

These are your daily actions

As an financial administration employee, you are part of the Accounts Payable Commercial Goods team within Financial Services. Together with the team, you are responsible for processing and paying all goods invoices. These mainly concern the delivery of goods from the supplier to one of our distribution centers in Europe.

Action is now active in 13 different countries, with more than 3,000 stores, and has distribution centers in 7 different countries. On average, 1,200 invoices are processed daily, and considering the local laws and regulations, that’s quite a challenge!

On a daily basis, you work on processing administration in the SAP system. You maintain supplier master data, process invoices, follow up on invoice discrepancies, and maintain contact with the Supply Chain and Buying departments as well as with our suppliers. Once everything is approved, you make sure payments are prepared.

Action is growing quickly, and this impacts our processes. These evolve along with our growth, creating plenty of opportunities for you to contribute to improvements. Will you help us make the invoice flow as efficient as possible? Or perhaps support us in closing financial periods, especially regarding the reconciliation of open items on balance sheet accounts?

Our goal is to pay our suppliers on time — will you help us achieve this and aim for the highest possible percentage?

Working within Action Financial Services means every day is different. Have a good idea? We’d love to hear it!

This is your team

Financial Services manages the complete administration of our international organization. Our Treasury team manages all cash flows, and our Tax team handles all tax matters.

Within Business Controlling, we support the business with financial advice, whether in store operations, commercial control, supply chain, or financial control.

Would you like to work in the dynamic retail industry, in a young department with plenty of (international) growth opportunities? Take Action!
