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.

• 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)

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.

Our unique approach is a product of our diverse perspectives. This diversity of backgrounds and cultures is essential in helping us maintain our momentum. Our business and technical challenges are unique, and we need as many different voices as possible to join us in solving them - voices like yours. No matter who you are or where you’re from, we welcome you to be your true self at Adyen.

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!
