Your responsibilities
CPRO / CERAL is a premium Belgian pet food company in Wallonia (~20 FTE), recently acquired by AlphaPet Ventures. We are looking for a hands-on Accountant to take operational ownership of the entity's day-to-day books on site. You work directly with the GM, with our Belgian fiduciaire on monthly closing, and with APV Group Finance for reporting and alignment.
__Key Responsibilities__
* Take operational accounting responsibility for the CPRO / CERAL entity, owning the day-to-day books end to end.
* Day-to-day bookkeeping: book invoices, manage accounts payable and accounts receivable, reconcile bank accounts daily, run payments and dunning.
* Reconcile payment service providers and ensure clean clearing of related accounts.
* Maintain the fixed-asset register under Belgian GAAP.
* Prepare and hand off the monthly closing file to our Belgian fiduciaire; act as internal point of contact for their questions.
* Coordinate VAT, intrastat, and other recurring statutory filings with the fiduciaire.
* Act as a key contact for auditors, tax inspectors, and social-security inspections — gather documentation and respond to information requests.
* Support monthly group reporting to APV Group Finance.
* Handle the various day-to-day accounting tasks that arise in a small, hands-on finance function.
Your profile
___Experience___
* 3+ years of operational accounting experience in an SME or small-business context — hands-on bookkeeping, not supervisory only.
* Working knowledge of Belgian accounting practice, VAT, and standard statutory reporting.
* Experience working with an external fiduciaire — comfortable handing off closing rather than running it in-house.
* Experience in mid-sized group structures or start-ups is a plus.
* Completed commercial or accounting qualification (or qualification as a finance accountant).
_Hard Requirements_
* Languages: French native or bilingual; English business-fluent; Dutch a strong plus.
* Systems: Strong Excel. Comfortable learning Odoo.
* Location: On-site in Wallonia. Not suitable for remote.
* Availability: 20–25 hours/week across the working week.
___Mindset___
* Independent, structured, and results-oriented, with high attention to detail.
* Reliable and committed — accounting fundamentals require it.
* A team player, discreet with sensitive financial data.
* Direct — able to flag issues and ask for help.
What we offer
* Responsible, stimulating, and varied tasks within a dynamic company with flat hierarchies and an open, relaxed, family-oriented working culture
* You will be working for a Belgian Super Premium brand
