Interim Finance Controller (Netherlands)

Project overview

We are looking for an Interim Finance Controller to the Netherlands.

Business reason

The interim professional will protect continuity, control quality and reporting timelines during this period.

Assignment purpose

Bring in an experienced, hands-on controller who can rapidly take ownership of financial control for the Dutch entities. The consultant must work independently in an international Group environment and coordinate outsourced accounting and payroll providers.

Core responsibilities

Run the Dutch month-end close with the outsourced accounting partner; review postings, accruals, cut-off and reconciliations, and sign off the local close package.

Own general-ledger integrity and complete monthly balance-sheet specifications and reconciliations.

Deliver the monthly Group reporting package in NetSuite, including variance explanations and consolidation support.

Own Dutch VAT returns, VAT-account reconciliations and correct VAT treatment, using advisers when required.

Control the payroll cycle: review provider output, posting, reconciliations, balances and accruals.

Oversee payments, bank reconciliations, cash position and short-term cash forecasting.

Manage fixed assets and CAPEX accounting, accounts receivable controls, overdue follow-up and credit-control escalation.

Manage intercompany invoicing and balances and support local implementation of the Group transfer-pricing model.

Success during the assignment

Monthly close and Group reporting continue to the required timetable with complete supporting reconciliations.

Dutch VAT, payroll, cash and intercompany controls remain reliable and audit-ready.

Outsourced providers receive clear direction, issues are escalated promptly and the permanent recruitment transition is supported.

Must-have requirements

Recent hands-on ownership of month-end close and financial reporting as a Financial Controller, Senior Financial Controller or operational Finance Manager.

Strong experience in the Dutch accounting environment, including Dutch GAAP and hands-on Dutch VAT.

International Group and multi-entity experience, including intercompany accounting and balance-sheet reconciliations.

Experience steering outsourced accounting and/or payroll providers.

Strong ERP and Excel capability; Dutch at full professional level and fluent English.

Available for the 4-6 month assignment and able to support the agreed Zoetermeer / hybrid / remote model.

Strong advantages

NetSuite experience.

Audit-firm background or statutory financial-statement experience.

Transfer-pricing experience and work in a reporting-intensive or private-equity-owned environment.

MedTech, healthcare or another regulated industry; finance automation experience.
