Role
Who you are
- Minimum of 5+ years experience in financial control, accounting, and external audit (Big 4 experience is a strong plus)
- You have an analytical mindset and proactively identify challenges and be able to work independently but never afraid to ask for help
- Experience in Branch accounting is highly valued; professional qualifications such as CPA, CA, or RA are considered a significant advantage
- Track record in process optimization and automation. Experience with Workday, Workday Accounting Center, Workiva, or similar ERP systems is a plus
- Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously; ability to prioritise
- Able to think 2 steps ahead. We are looking for someone that can think critically and creatively to implement solutions to scale during Adyen’s rapid growth
- Studies show that women and members of underrepresented communities apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Does this sound like you? If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application!
What the job involves
- Adyen is looking for a Regional Financial Controller to join our Group Finance team in Amsterdam. This is a unique opportunity for someone looking to challenge the status quo, who gets truly excited to re-imagine processes from the ground up
- In this role, you will partner, validate and drive financial excellence across our global footprint. Rather than focusing on routine data production, you will have the mandate to redesign leverage automation and modern tooling to enable a continuous and low-touch close while maintaining a control environment
- At Adyen we like to build things ourselves - in this team you will play a key role in applying out-of-the box solutions to improve control and streamline ways of working
- Oversee the general ledger for various global entities and branches, navigating complexities ranging from moderate to high
- Execute and validate month-end close workflows, including the review of reconciliations for fixed assets, prepayments, and accruals, while managing routine journal entries
- Collaborate with Adyen’s regulatory teams to facilitate accurate reporting and maintain strict adherence to all compliance timelines
- Partner with tax teams to support filings and provisioning by coordinating with external advisors and consolidating required financial data
- Draft financial statements and interface with auditors to ensure a seamless audit cycle, proactively resolving technical queries as they arise
- Address diverse ad-hoc reporting requirements from stakeholders across the organization
- Continuously upskill others (GL accountants & other Controllers) on core processes to build a shared understanding of end-to-end processes
- Partner with FinOps and Financial Data Teams (FDT) to optimize core accounting processes, leveraging automation tools (such as Workday Accounting Center and Workiva)
Application process
- Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable candidate experience is critical for us. We aim to get back to you regarding your application within 5 business days
- Our interview process tends to take about 4 weeks to complete, but may fluctuate depending on the role
Our take
Adyen has been one of the most successful businesses in Europe over the last decade. When it went public in 2018 at a valuation of €7 billion, it raised over €1 billion and its share price popped on the first day, resulting in a valuation of €14 billion. And its valuation has continued to climb in the years since.
Adyen competes with large players like PayPal, as well as outsized startups like Stripe, to power payments and provide other infrastructure to conduct digital transactions. Disrupters in the field have been buoyed by a strong rise in eCommerce activity, where some or all of a transaction by a customer is made either online or by mobile.
Adyen has been one of the companies riding the wave by helping interested businesses to choose and then implement online payments - without the usual hoops to step through. Notable partners have included Autocanteen, a touchless self-checkout solution for the hospitality industry, and BILL, a small business-focused fintech platform.
