About the job

Please submit your application in English.

Flatpay is one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe. Founded just over three years ago in Copenhagen, our mission is simple: to take the stress out of card payments for small and medium-sized businesses.

Running a business is hard enough. But unpredictable transaction fees, confusing rate structures, and endless “extra costs” make it even harder.
 
That’s why we built Flatpay - one flat rate across all cards, transparent pricing, no hidden surprises.
Today, we’re more than 1,500 Flatpayers across Denmark, Finland, Italy, Germany, France, and the UK - and now, we’ve launched in the Netherlands!
 
This is your chance to get in early, help us build the Dutch market from the ground up, and become a key player in our next growth chapter. 

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to join our team in the Netherlands. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a dynamic scale-up environment - where things move fast, structures are still evolving, and flexibility is key.

As our Senior Accountant, you will play a critical role in owning and improving the day-to-day finance operations in the Netherlands while also contributing to management reporting and financial insights. You won’t just review numbers - you’ll help build processes, solve problems, and ensure financial accuracy as the company scales.

Role: Senior Accountant
Employment Type: Full-time
Location: On-site, 5 days per week

What you'll do

  • Own the day-to-day financial administration for the Netherlands entity, ensuring accurate bookkeeping and financial records.
  • Manage payments, expenses, and employee reimbursements, ensuring timely processing and policy compliance.
  • Lead the monthly closing process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and resolving discrepancies.
  • Prepare and deliver monthly management reporting for the Netherlands, providing clear financial insights to management.
  • Support financial analysis and performance tracking to provide insights into results and trends.
  • Help build and improve financial processes in a fast-growing scale-up, bringing structure while staying comfortable in a dynamic environment.

Who you are

Ambitious - You’re hungry for more than a 9–5. We promote internally and we promote fast. With the right skills and attitude, your growth potential here is limitless.
Humble – We hire great people, not big egos. You’re kind, collaborative, and people love working with you.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
  • Organised and structured, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
  • Adaptable and resilient, comfortable working in a fast-moving scale-up environment where processes are still evolving.
  • Strong communication skills, able to clearly explain financial information to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
  • Process-oriented, with a mindset for improving workflows and building scalable finance processes.
Background 
  • 4+ years of experience in accounting or finance, preferably in a Senior Accountant or similar role.
  • Experience processing payments, expenses, and reimbursements in a professional environment.
