Financiële en accountancy vacatures Leiden

SkyGeo is a scale-up company developing advanced technology to detect and analyze subtle changes in ground and structural stability over time. Our mission is to transform complex data into actionable insights, enabling governments and companies worldwide to make informed decisions for a sustainable future. We’ve built an ambitious and diverse team and are continuously looking for talented colleagues who want to help grow our company professionally and internationally.

You are the link between finance and the business. You’re an entrepreneurial Controller who ensures that the financial foundation is solid and remains that way, and you’re responsible for the entire financial landscape. You manage the full S/T/O pyramid and handle hands‑on tasks such as registering orders, sending invoices and reminders, and managing accounts receivable. You’ll also focus on further professionalizing the finance department.

You’ll create clear and transparent management reports and have a strong sense for designing financial processes. You combine a sharp, analytical mindset with your experience in process optimization and in selecting and implementing automation opportunities. Once the basics are in place, you’ll be ready to take things a step further—by investigating and defining strategic objectives and determining how they can be financially supported. This is where your overarching goal and focus lie.

Ultimately, the operational aspects of your role will be taken over by a financial administration employee. You will be a key sparring partner for the CEO. Because of the international nature of the company, the CEO travels frequently and fully relies on your expertise and insights.

You are an independent and connecting finance professional with solid experience. You hold at least a bachelor’s degree (HBO level) in a financial or economic discipline. You have between 5 and 8 years of hands‑on experience in financial administration and are IT‑minded, enabling you to structure the finance department as efficiently as possible.

Colleagues enjoy working with you because you understand what is needed and can translate that into concrete actions. You know how to engage others positively and act as a reliable sparring partner. You have a practical and proactive attitude, as well as strong communication skills in both Dutch and English.

We’d like to challenge you to optimize and further roll out our financial processes. We therefore expect that you have knowledge and experience with cost structures, consolidation, and budgeting. We’d also like to see that you:

• don’t overlook any details and can handle stress well
• have knowledge of taxation and payroll administration
• have the confidence to speak up and say “no” when necessary

We offer you every opportunity to shape this role to your strengths and grow along with the organization. In addition:

• You’ll work in a diverse and international team.
• You’ll have the nicest workplace in Delft, right in the historic city center.
• There’s plenty of room for your own initiatives.
• You’ll receive 25 vacation days and full coverage of commuting expenses.
• There are team activities, social drinks, and we have lunch together every day.
