EMEA Recruitment is pleased to be working with a growing services organization in its search for an Assistant Controller, based in the The Hague area.

This role sits between financial administration and controlling, with an initial focus on strengthening the purchase-to-pay process and bringing structure to the Finance function.

As processes stabilize, the position will naturally develop towards more analysis, cost control, reporting, and process improvement, with longer-term progression potential.

In return, the Assistant Controller will receive a salary of €50,000 to €70,000 gross per year (including holiday allowance, depending on experience), alongside a strong pension, 27.5 holiday days, and support for training and development. 

Hybrid working is available, although this role is mainly office-based with the team (4 days in the office).

Responsibilities of the Assistant Controller:

  • Own and improve the invoice-to-payment flow across multiple entities
  • Ensure accurate postings (VAT, ledgers, allocations) and support month-end close
  • Prepare weekly payment runs and monitor payment terms
  • Support cost control, variance analysis, and reporting (including EBITDA insight)
  • Drive practical process improvements and smarter use of finance systems (ERP, Excel, Power BI)

Candidate requirements:

  • HBO (bachelor’s) level in Finance, Accountancy, or Business Economics
  • 2-5 years’ experience in Finance Administration/Accounting
  • Strong Excel and ERP experience
  • Confident working hands-on, while spotting opportunities to improve and automate processes
