Finance Working Student (16 hours p/w) - Rotterdam

What you'll be doing:
Month-end close and reporting
Prepare journals, accruals and prepayment schedules under review
Run balance sheet and bank reconciliations, and follow up on what does not tie
Help build the monthly reporting pack — and, once you know it, own sections of it
Produce the first cut of variance analysis on revenue and OPEX by cost centre
Day-to-day finance operations
Process purchase invoices, match them to POs and keep vendor data clean
Support accounts receivable — invoicing, cash allocation and polite, persistent chasing
Review expense claims and credit card reconciliations against policy
Keep finance trackers and ERP data accurate, because every report downstream depends on it
Analysis and commercial finance
Pull together the data behind our SaaS metrics — ARR, churn, retention and cost per customer
Tidy and analyse pricing and discount data to support the annual price review
Build and maintain parts of the weekly performance dashboard
Answer the small, real questions that come in from Sales and Customer Success
Governance, audit and process
Pull samples and documentation for the external audit and for VAT filings
Document how a process actually works today — then propose how it should work
Find the manual step that everyone tolerates, and automate it
One project that is yours!
You'll own one project end to end, agreed with you in week two and chosen to match what you want on your CV. Examples: automate a report that currently takes a day a month, build a cost-per-customer model, or analyse discount leakage across a region. You scope it, you run it, and you present it to the finance leadership team in your final month. If you are writing a thesis, we will help you point it at a real dataset.
What you'll bring:
Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's or MBA program in finance, accounting, economics or business administration, in any year of study. No prior finance experience is required.
Eligible to study and work in the Netherlands.
Available for 16 hours per week for a period of six months, with your hours built around your timetable and two days a week in our Rotterdam office.
Comfortable working in Excel. You don't need to be an expert, but PivotTables and lookups shouldn't frighten you.
A sharp eye for accuracy and genuine curiosity: you notice when a number is wrong, speak up, and ask why a number moved, not just what it is.
Clear written and spoken English.
