Role Description

As Virtuagym keeps on growing, we are looking to add a new Financial Controller to our team: someone with a passion for accounting, control and continuous improvement. In this role you will help safeguard the integrity of our financial reporting, contribute across topics like tax, AR and revenue control, and grow with us as the business scales.

As Financial Controller, you will join an enthusiastic and ambitious finance team. You will work closely with our CFO, Finance Management and the wider Finance team, supporting our control, compliance and reporting agenda across the group. The role is broad by design: depending on your strengths and interests, you can grow your scope across compliance and revenue control over time.

We are looking for an analytic, curious and entrepreneurial mind with a go-getter mentality, who can thrive in a dynamic scale-up environment. This role offers a real seat at the table, plenty of room to take ownership, and ample opportunity to grow.

• Support tax compliance (VAT, ICP, CIT) and statutory filings in collaboration with advisors
• Own and improve AR and revenue control, including reconciliations, revenue recognition, and billing accuracy
• Run and optimize key reconciliations (AR, intercompany, bank) and balance sheet substantiation
• Contribute to monthly close and year-end audit (journal entries, PBC, schedules, walkthroughs)
• Identify gaps, streamline processes, and drive automation across systems (NetSuite, Salesforce, Stripe)
• Partner with Finance leadership to deliver on key priorities and continuously improve ways of working

• Hands-on experience with tax (VAT/ICP, CIT) and revenue/AR processes
• Proven ability to improve controls, processes, or reporting (e.g. automations, reconciliations, system improvements)
• Fluency in Dutch (native-level) and English - this is a hard requirement
• Comfortable working with data, systems, and digging into details to solve issues
• You take ownership and follow through on what you commit to
• You ask questions, challenge assumptions, and look for better ways of working
• You adapt quickly and stay effective in a fast-moving, scale-up environment
• You communicate clearly with stakeholders across finance and the wider business
• You’re eager to learn, expand your scope, and grow with the company
• Experience with ERP systems; NetSuite, Salesforce, or Stripe is a strong advantage
