• A salary between € 3,000.- and € 3,500.- gross per month based on 40 hours, tailored to your experience and capabilities;

• A travel allowance of € 0.23 per kilometer from 10 km one way;

• The possibility of a fresh staff lunch at an attractive rate;

• As a new employee, you will get access to our Loyalty App. This app offers you many exclusive employee benefits, both within our own group and with many external partners! Think, for example, of staying in our hotels at an attractive employee rate and discounts in the restaurants of Van der Valk International. Additionally, you earn rewards (e.g., on your birthday) that you can redeem for various vouchers;

• A gym membership/corporate fitness (for a small fee);

• A position within a family business with a cozy working atmosphere where teamwork is the basis of success.

To expand our Finance team, we are looking for an experienced Financial Administrative Assistant for our enterprises on Bonaire, including the beautiful Van der Valk Plaza Beach Resort Bonaire (PRB)!

Van der Valk International is an entrepreneurial organization in the hotel industry with a strong family culture. Our hotels at home and abroad are continuously developing. From our finance department in Tiel, the administrations of our hotels in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and Bonaire are managed, as well as various affiliated enterprises. In your role, you contribute—together with your colleagues—indirectly to an optimal guest experience.

As a Senior Financial Administrative Assistant, you will independently process your own portfolio of administrations on Bonaire. Our team manages approximately 20, and that number is still growing: from a hotel with daily turnover to boat companies, a shipyard, a diving organization, rental companies, tours, and holdings, each with its own dynamics. You will process purchase and sales invoices and bank transactions, prepare monthly reports and the tax returns for Caribbean Netherlands, and ensure together with your colleagues that the figures for these foreign administrations, in different currencies, are correct.

And furthermore, you will be busy with:

• Checking general ledger administrations and suspense accounts of various administrations;

• Ensuring timely payments to creditors;

• Maintaining an overview of the mailbox(es) for which you are responsible;

• Preparing various monthly & quarterly reports and (foreign) tax returns;

• Identifying irregularities and communicating these to your supervisor.

Functie-eisen

The role is on-site in Tiel because your presence at our office makes the difference. Your administrations are located on a tropical island, and if the work requires it, you will also work there on-site for a (short) period. 'Welcome to the Family' truly takes on meaning here.

• The administrations you manage are primarily in US dollars (USD), the official currency of Caribbean Netherlands. Additionally, you work with euros (EUR) and Caribbean guilders (XCG), so you switch between multiple currencies daily.

• You work with a time difference of 5 to 6 hours, depending on daylight saving time. Therefore, you should schedule coordination with colleagues on Bonaire in the Dutch afternoon. This sometimes requires a bit more flexibility.

• Working on Bonaire is also part of it: if the work requires it, possibly once a year, you will work alongside your colleagues on the island for a period. You will then see with your own eyes the companies behind your figures and the people who make them. When that happens, we will decide together, based on the activities and the team's planning.

Having a feel for numbers is second nature to you. You enjoy working together toward the success of your department, maintaining a proactive attitude and responsibility for your activities. You work analytically, structured, and accurately, and Excel holds no secrets for you. You get energy from administrations that are correct, and you like to take the lead over general ledger administrations and accounts payable management. You switch easily between different administrations, each with its own rhythm and own questions. Ad-hoc requests in between do not throw you off balance; you pick them up without losing the overview.

• You have strong communication skills;
