Medior Financial accountant (commercial entities)

Imagine a finance role where no month is ever the same. Where international goods flows, commercial contracts, changing regulations and geopolitical developments all show up directly in your numbers. You’re the one who brings clarity while the world around you, keeps shifting. This is the role for financials who get energy from dynamism, solving puzzles, taking ownership and working at the intersection of business and accounting. Not just an accounting job, but a position where you learn every day and make a real impact – every day. Don’t wait any longer and apply.

Without you, figures drift away from reality, errors creep into goods and cash flows, and the business loses visibility on revenue, risks and cash. In this role you operate at the crossroads of accounting and controlling, bringing clarity to processes that run across countries, systems and teams. You quickly grasp complex data, spot discrepancies straight away and work with the business to implement solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• 
  
• Performing the month-end close and ensuring that the general ledger, subledgers and reporting tie out perfectly.
  
• Analysing, reconciling and resolving differences in goods-to-cash flows, revenue recognition and balance sheet positions.
  
• Monitoring trade receivables and payment terms together with commercial teams in different countries.
  
• Determining the correct revenue recognition timing and processing fixed asset movements.
  
• Delivering analyses and insights that help the business make better decisions.
  
• Preparing and supporting audits and keeping financial documentation organised and up to date.
  

You’ll be joining Bausch + Lomb, an international market leader in eye care and pharmaceuticals. For more than 165 years, we’ve been dedicated to improving vision and quality of life worldwide. In the Netherlands, you will work in a small, close-knit team where openness, humour and collaboration come naturally.

You will be part of the Finance department and report directly to the Finance Team Lead. The team culture is safe, friendly and sociable, with transparency as a core value.

You are service-minded and solution-oriented. You keep overview in a complex international environment, communicate smoothly with the business and auditors, and can explain financial concepts in a clear and accessible way. You work accurately and you speak fluent English.

You also bring:

• 
  
• A completed degree in Finance & Control, Accountancy or a comparable discipline.
  
• 2+ years of experience in a Financial Accountant role; experience in an international company with a broad product portfolio is a plus.
  
• Strong skills in Excel and ERP systems; platforms such as SAP or Oracle hold no secrets for you.
  

At Bausch + Lomb you get the freedom to take initiative within an international organisation with a strong reputation. You work independently, with a team that has your back. Your performance is seen, appreciated and rewarded.

You can count on:

• 
  
• A one-year contract for 37.5 hours per week, with the intention of a permanent contract.
  
• A competitive salary, depending on your experience and education.
  
• A 13th-month salary and 8% holiday allowance.
  
• 25 vacation days based on a full-time contract.
  
• Free contact lenses through the Bausch + Lomb lens programme.
