What you'll step into
Lansweeper is a fast-growing, PE-backed B2B SaaS platform on a €100M → €500M ARR journey. The Finance function is scaling with it, and we need a senior interim profile to hold the fort and drive quality across all financial operations during this period.
- You work closely with the VP Finance and alongside the Finance Process Manager, who handles daily operations and systems.
- Your remit covers financial close quality, IFRS and Belgian GAAP reporting, multi-jurisdictional tax compliance, audit management, and team leadership - all active, all yours for the duration of the engagement.
- This is not an advisory role. We need someone who takes ownership, makes sound technical judgements independently, and ensures nothing drifts while the permanent structure is confirmed.
What you'll own during the engagement
- Financial close & reporting: You lead the monthly close - reviewing journals, signing off on reconciliations, and ensuring quality across all entities. You ensure Belgian GAAP and IFRS reporting requirements are met and act as escalation point for complex accounting judgements. You collaborate with FP&A to ensure accounting actuals feed seamlessly into planning and board reporting.
- Tax & transfer pricing: You own global tax compliance across all jurisdictions - current, documented and risk-managed. You manage transfer pricing documentation and intercompany arrangements, oversee VAT compliance including OSS/IOSS filings, and coordinate with external advisors on US SALT obligations and any tax optimization opportunities.
- Audit & risk management: You serve as single point of contact for external audits - owning the planning, documentation and resolution of findings. You maintain year-round audit readiness and ensure financial packs meet PE investor-grade standards.
- Team & statutory reporting You lead and support the accounting team for the duration of the assignment, ensuring continuity, quality and knowledge transfer. You oversee multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and ensure statutory reporting obligations are met across all jurisdictions.
- You are a senior finance professional with a strong technical background who is available to start quickly and needs minimal onboarding. You are hands-on - equally comfortable reviewing a complex journal entry and presenting a technical accounting position to VP Finance.
- You bring a Master's degree in Accounting, Finance or Tax, preferably combined with a professional qualification such as ACCA, CPA or RA. You have 8 to 12 years of progressive experience, with at least 3 in a senior leadership role, and a proven track record in a PE-backed and/or global SaaS environment.
- You have hands-on experience with IFRS 15 in a subscription business and a solid background in multi-jurisdictional tax compliance including transfer pricing.
- On the technical side, you have deep knowledge of Belgian GAAP, IFRS and Belgian tax regulations, strong NetSuite ERP experience, and outstanding Excel skills. Prior interim or consultancy experience is a strong plus.
- You thrive in ambiguity, close loops, hit deadlines, and do not let things drift. You create clarity for the people around you - and you do it quickly.

Lansweeper Insights
What We Do
Managing a technology estate has never been a bigger challenge. Hardware, software, and users can be anywhere at any time, making IT environments extremely dynamic and often complex. A seemingly simple question has become terribly difficult to answer: ‘Who is using what device?’ CIO's, CTO's, IT managers, ... have to make decisions that are often based on scattered, out of date, and incomplete data sources. How can you effectively manage the technology assets of an organization, if you’re not 100% sure of what assets you have to manage in the first place? This question inspired Lansweeper and still drives us today. We believe that answering it is crucial to tackle and simplify many of the challenges companies face every day. Centralized technology asset intelligence enables every stakeholder who needs insights into your company’s IT landscape to speak the same language. Connecting and centralizing asset data to collaborate across silos, locations, and departments is essential. Eliminate the blind spots from your environment and discover assets you didn't even know about. Lansweeper provides you the means to achieve complete visibility into your IT, centralized into one solution, helping you gain an in-depth understanding of your entire IT estate. Lansweeper creates a substantial reduction in the measure of time IT teams would ordinarily spend on routine, yet key assignments, such as network discovery, inventory, software distribution, licensing and updates. This task automation is critical for organizations with restricted staff and IT spending plans. Reveal needless expenses, support budgeting decisions, and manage your IT cost-effectively with Lansweeper The basic premise of good cybersecurity is that you can’t protect what you can’t see. So the critical first step when it comes to basic cyber hygiene is to maintain visibility of your IT environments and develop the relevant daily routines to inspect and verify.
