About Our Client

This role is for someone who wants to fully own Trade Payables in a complex, international organisation - not as a support function, but as a core engine of the finance operation. You will step into a visible role, combining hands-on accounting expertise with team leadership, in an environment that values reliability, clarity and continuous improvement.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end Accounts Payable process, ensuring payments run smoothly, invoices are correctly processed, and the team delivers with precision.

  • Own and execute weekly payment runs for all trade payables
  • Ensure all supplier invoices are correctly received, routed, booked and followed up
  • Actively chase and resolve issues with internal stakeholders (missing invoices, booking delays, discrepancies)
  • Perform and review bank, payables and AP reconciliations
  • Act as the key finance contact for internal and external audits related to Trade Payables
  • Maintain strong alignment between Trade Payables operations and AP accounting
  • Explain, standardise and improve processes, ensuring clarity and consistency across teams



People leadership

  • Lead and manage a team of 6, with varied seniority and experience
  • Personally onboard and train 3 newcomers, ensuring fast ramp‑up and autonomy
  • Structure the work, set priorities and guarantee deadlines and quality
  • Be a hands-on manager with strong technical credibility

The Successful Applicant

You are an experienced accounting professional who loves structure, ownership and impact.

  • Bachelor - Master degree in Finance / Accounting / Economics - or equivalent
  • Min 8 years of relevant experience
  • Has strong, hands-on experience in Trade Payables / Purchase‑to‑Pay (this is essential)
  • Has already worked in‑house in a structured accounting environment
  • Brings proven people management experience and enjoys training and coaching
  • Is technically solid and comfortable being the go‑to expert
  • Has experience with SAP, ideally S/4HANA
  • Knows Belgian GAAP; IFRS exposure is a plus, not a requirement
  • Communicates fluently in English; French and/or Dutch are strong assets

What's on Offer

The Accounting Manager Accounts Payable will have the opportunity to evolve in a dynamic and fast paced environment with real team management.

Competitive salary package.
