Accountant (m/f/d) — CPRO Belgium

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 Interested ?
