Requirements

About You

We’re looking for someone who combines strong accounting fundamentals with curiosity, ownership, and a desire to improve how finance works. You may be a great fit if you have:

• Strong experience in financial accounting, ideally gained across audit, industry, or a combination of both
• Experience with month-end close, reconciliations, journals, and financial reporting
• A strong understanding of accounting principles and the ability to apply judgment in practical situations
• Experience working with auditors or preparing audit support
• A process improvement mindset, with examples of improving ways of working rather than simply maintaining them
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, international, or scaling environment
• Strong attention to detail, combined with the ability to see the bigger picture
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work well with both finance and non-finance colleagues
• A proactive, structured, and solutions-oriented way of working
• Interest in automation, systems, AI, and the future of finance

Experience in a marketplace, platform, payments, SaaS, e-commerce, or high-volume transaction environment would be a plus, but isn’t required.

This role could be a strong fit if you’re currently working in audit and looking to move closer to the business, or if you already have industry experience and are looking for a role with more ownership, complexity, and impact.

We Offer

• Be part of an international platform with a clear mission and strong brand
• Join a Finance team with real opportunity to shape processes, controls, and systems
• Work in a business with high transaction volumes, multiple markets, and interesting accounting challenges
• Help build a modern finance function that uses automation, AI, and better tooling to scale
• Work closely with experienced finance leaders and cross-functional teams
• Take on meaningful ownership in a growing company

At TicketSwap, Finance is not just about closing the books. It’s about building the foundation that helps the business grow safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

Practical Details

• Full-time role based in Amsterdam (hybrid setup)
• You need to be based in the Netherlands or have a valid work permit (no relocation support provided)
