Job description

Context & Impact:
We're looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Finance team at our HQ in Merelbeke, Belgium — stepping into a key role within a fast-moving, international environment. As Senior Accountant, you'll be the backbone of our day-to-day accounting operations across multiple legal entities, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and continuity across the full accounting cycle. Beyond keeping the engine running, you'll play an active role in shaping how our Finance team works — contributing to AI-driven workflow innovation that will allow us to further scale.

Challenge:
The main challenges you'll face are:

  • Maintaining the pace and quality of operational accounting without disruption while you onboard and get up to speed across multiple legal entities

  • Actively building and championing new AI-assisted workflows within the accounting team — not waiting to be asked, but bringing your own initiatives to the table

  • Supporting the team's transition toward a higher-volume, future-ready Finance function — balancing today's deadlines with tomorrow's ways of working

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare and process timely supplier payments and process all payroll-related accounting entries

  • Process bank statements and post and maintain evidence for general ledger transactions

  • Manage month-end and year-end closing: prepare accurate accruals and deferrals, review and control the general ledger, and revaluate foreign currency positions

  • Ensure reconciliation of intercompany positions and follow up the fixed asset register from assets under construction through to disposal

  • Assist with international VAT and corporate tax regulations, prepare VAT declaration

  • Assist in the financial audit and support A/P and A/R accountants with accounting-related questions

  • Identify and drive opportunities to improve accounting processes, and actively participate in — and initiate — finance-related AI and IT projects

Job requirements

Hard skills:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting and/or Finance

  • 5+ years of experience in a similar senior accounting role or in an audit/yax advisory role

  • Strong knowledge of IFRS

  • Solid tax knowledge — VAT and corporate income tax

  • Advanced Excel skills

  • Fluent in English and Dutch

Soft skills:

  • Strong attention to detail — you get the numbers right, every time

  • Ability to work autonomously and manage your own priorities in a fast-paced environment

  • Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management skills

  • Resilient under pressure and able to adapt quickly when priorities shift

  • Genuine team player who supports and uplifts those around you

AI Specific Skills:
Lansweeper is an AI-native company. As Senior Accountant, you won't just use AI tools — you'll help define how we use them in Finance. You're expected to actively participate in building new AI-assisted accounting workflows and to bring your own ideas and initiatives to the table. You'll work with tools like Microsoft Copilot and Claude to explore smarter ways to handle reconciliation, reporting, and other accounting processes. You don't need to have all the answers on day one, but you need the curiosity, drive, and hands-on mindset to figure them out — and the willingness to champion that transformation within the team.

Team Info:
You'll join the Finance team at Lansweeper's HQ in Merelbeke, Belgium, reporting to the Accounting Manager. The broader Finance team consists of 8 people: 4 in Accounting and 4 in FP&A — a collaborative, international group working across multiple legal entities.

  • Meal vouchers (€10/day), ecocheques (€250/year), vacation payout in June, and a 13th month in December

About Lansweeper:
Lansweeper is the AI Cyber Asset Intelligence platform helping IT and Security teams gain full visibility, reduce cyber risk, and scale automation with confidence.
In today's complex IT, OT, cloud, and IoT environments, fragmented asset data slows decisions and increases risk. We transform raw asset data into a continuously validated, trusted source of truth — so teams can move faster and act with certainty.
With Lansweeper, organizations can:
See – Truly complete visibility across hybrid environments
Know – Enriched asset intelligence with lifecycle and risk context
Act – Automate workflows, coordinate remediation, and enforce policy at scale
From universal asset discovery to AI-powered intelligence, we provide the shared foundation modern IT Operations, Cybersecurity, and Digital Transformation teams rely on.

Our culture:
We're built on four core values:
One Team – United across boundaries
We Care – Customers and people at the center
We Grow – Learning, sharing, improving
We Deliver – Focusing on what truly matters

Pay Transparency:
At Lansweeper, every role is assigned to a level defined by three things: the expertise it requires, the complexity it involves, and the scope of impact it carries.
Each level maps to a salary band based on salary benchmarks from the Software/SaaS industry of your country, so your pay reflects what the market pays for comparable roles.
The gross salary range for this role is €68,513 – €111,334 (EUR) (Belgium) (based on full-time employment).
Where you land within that range depends on the expertise you bring, the complexity you have navigated, the scope of impact you have owned, and your track record of delivering results in comparable roles — the same criteria applied consistently to every candidate.
We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.

AI Usage during Hiring Process:
We use AI to support and not replace during the hiring process. HR decisions are made by our talent acquisition team. You can request more info at any time via [email protected]

Diversity Statement:
It is Lansweeper's policy to provide equal employment opportunity to all applicants and employees.
Lansweeper disapproves of, and will not tolerate, unlawful discrimination against any applicant or employee because of race, color, national origin or ancestry, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), gender identity, age, religion, disability, family care status, veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other basis protected by local, state, or federal laws.
