Finance Manager

About the job

This isn't a bookkeeping role. It's a clarity-bringing, risk-managing, growth-enabling role and you'll be the one who connects the dots between finance, legal, data, and the people/stakeholders we work with.

Are you a detail-oriented individual with a strong interest in accounting, financials and a knack for organization? We are currently seeking a colleague to join our team. While we appreciate a dynamic work environment, we are looking for someone who can balance seriousness with efficiency and has a solid understanding of accounting processes. This role is crucial to the financial health of our company, involving a range of administrative and financial tasks related to the day-to-day management of the company. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in accounting/finance, be proficient in administrative processes, possess excellent communication skills, and be capable of multitasking effectively.

What you'll be doing

• Own margin tracking and COGS: you know where the money is going and why

• Keep cash flow planning, budget files, and the weekly finance file sharp and up to date

• Ensure our accounting and reporting files actually talk to each other

• Build and manage the reporting platform so the right people see the right numbers

• Handle transport and import cost allocation with precision

• Own our legal and compliance layer: contracts, risk, protection of what we've built

• Be the main point of contact for external financial stakeholders (investors, partners, suppliers, ...)

• Work cross-functionally to keep finance and operations aligned as we scale

What you bring

• Solid background in finance at a level where strategy and day-to-day reality meet

• Comfortable navigating legal and contractual territory. You know when to act and when to call a lawyer

• Ability to make data meaningful and actionable for people who aren't finance specialists

• Strong stakeholder management skills

• The kind of independence that comes with being the most senior financial voice in a growing company

Nice to have

• Experience in a scale-up or high-growth environment

• Familiarity with brand, retail, or e-commerce business models

• A feel for the Suspicious Antwerp brand, you get what we're building

What you're walking into

You'll be joining a lean, driven team that moves fast and takes what it does seriously. A big part of the operational finance side is already covered, your job is to elevate it. You'll have real ownership, direct access to decision-makers, and the chance to build the financial foundation for the next phase of Suspicious Antwerp.

Based in Antwerp. Ready when you are.
