Sensolus is growing fast and our finance team needs to keep pace! We're looking for a Financial Controller who's ready to own the numbers, sharpen our reporting, and help build the financial backbone of a scaling tech company. 🚀 

This isn't a tick-the-box finance job: no routines, no managing teams, no bumping into rigid structures but rather exploring different domains, taking ownership over improvements and working as a strong, complementary unit!  

Who we are 

Sensolus is a Belgian IoT scale-up, building asset tracking solutions for logistics and industrial companies (think Airbus, ABInBev, DHL). Today we are a team of around 60 people, operating internationally with customers all over the world. 🌍 

Our finance team is deliberately lean, hands-on and ambitious. You'll work closely with our CFO and Finance Accountant and combine deep technical accounting with hands-on operational finance and genuinely make an impact from day one. 🎯 

What you'll do

In this role you will combine technical accounting ownership, financial reporting, and operational finance responsibilities in a small but ambitious finance team. 

We're a lean team, which means you'll get hands-on with a broad range of topics: 

🧮 Accounting & Closing  

  • Drive the monthly closing process together with our Financial Accountant 

  • Own BEGAAP accounting from A to Z (you're the expert in the room!) 

  • Review VAT returns and keep us on the right side of Belgian tax obligations 

  • Support preparation of annual accounts and corporate tax filings 

  • Lead audit preparation and make sure we're always ready 

🗽International Finance 

  • Be the finance point of contact for our US subsidiary, Sensolus Inc. 

  • Coordinate with external accountants in the United States 

  • Support group consolidation between Belgium and the US entity 

  • Ensure intercompany accounting is clean and well-documented 

📊Financial Reporting 

  • Support the CFO with monthly management reporting that actually tells a story 

  • Make sure our financial data ties seamlessly to key SaaS metrics (ARR, margins, and more) 

⚙️Operational Finance 

  • Insurance administration together with our broker 

  • Subsidy administration and reporting 

  • Fleet administration in collaboration with HR 

  • Financial aspects of HR processes (payroll review, warrant schemes, etc.) 

🤝External Stakeholders 

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with auditors, tax advisors, banks, and subsidy agencies 

  • Keep our external compliance processes running smoothly 

💯Process Improvement 

  • Spot inefficiencies and take ownership in fixing them (#worksmarternotharder) 

  • Help automate KPI reporting and accounting workflows as we scale 

Who you are 

You have a solid accounting foundation, a pragmatic mindset, and you thrive when you're given real ownership. You don't wait to be told what needs fixing because you see it and you act. You probably: 

  • Have 4–8 years of experience in an in-house finance role, or came up through audit and made the move to industry 

  • Know BEGAAP accounting inside out 

  • Are comfortable with VAT, annual accounts, and Belgian tax compliance 

  • Have some exposure to international accounting environments 

  • Have a basic handle on consolidation and intercompany accounting 

  • Love working in a hands-on environment where no two days look exactly the same 

  • Are structured, reliable, and detail-oriented (without being rigid) 

  • Communicate fluently in Dutch and English 

  • Have experience with Exact Online, Teamleader, or similar tools  

 

What we offer 

💰 Competitive salary package aligned with experience 
🍝 Meal vouchers, health insurance and a flexible cafeteria plan 
🏝️ Up to 32 days of annual leave 
🏰 Hybrid work with 2 days remote (and a really great office in Ghent)
🚀 Real ownership in a growing international tech company 
🤝 A small collaborative team where your work has visible impact 

 

If you enjoy combining strong accounting fundamentals, international exposure and real ownership in a growing SaaS company, we would love to meet you. 

Come by for a coffee and let’s talk.
