Financial Controller - IoT SaaS Scale-Up (Ghent)
Sensolus
Accounting & Finance
Lima, Flandes, Tolima, Colombia
Posted on Mar 28, 2026
Sensolus is growing fast and our finance team needs to keep pace! We're looking for a Financial Controller who's ready to own the numbers, sharpen our reporting, and help build the financial backbone of a scaling tech company. 🚀
This isn't a tick-the-box finance job: no routines, no managing teams, no bumping into rigid structures but rather exploring different domains, taking ownership over improvements and working as a strong, complementary unit!
Who We Are
Sensolus is a Belgian IoT scale-up, building asset tracking solutions for logistics and industrial companies (think Airbus, ABInBev, DHL). Today we are a team of around 60 people, operating internationally with customers all over the world. 🌍
Our finance team is deliberately lean, hands-on and ambitious. You'll work closely with our CFO and Finance Accountant and combine deep technical accounting with hands-on operational finance and genuinely make an impact from day one. 🎯
What You'll Do
In this role you will combine technical accounting ownership, financial reporting, and operational finance responsibilities in a small but ambitious finance team.
We're a lean team, which means you'll get hands-on with a broad range of topics:
🧮 Accounting & Closing
You have a solid accounting foundation, a pragmatic mindset, and you thrive when you're given real ownership. You don't wait to be told what needs fixing because you see it and you act. You probably:
💰 Competitive salary package aligned with experience
🍝 Meal vouchers, health insurance and a flexible cafeteria plan
🏝️ Up to 32 days of annual leave
🏰 Hybrid work with 2 days remote (and a really great office in Ghent)
🚀 Real ownership in a growing international tech company
🤝 A small collaborative team where your work has visible impact
If you enjoy combining strong accounting fundamentals, international exposure and real ownership in a growing SaaS company, we would love to meet you.
Come by for a coffee and let’s talk.
❗In-house search, no agencies at this time please.❗

We're a lean team, which means you'll get hands-on with a broad range of topics:
🧮 Accounting & Closing
- Drive the monthly closing process together with our Financial Accountant
- Own BEGAAP accounting from A to Z (you're the expert in the room!)
- Review VAT returns and keep us on the right side of Belgian tax obligations
- Support preparation of annual accounts and corporate tax filings
- Lead audit preparation and make sure we're always ready
- Be the finance point of contact for our US subsidiary, Sensolus Inc.
- Coordinate with external accountants in the United States
- Support group consolidation between Belgium and the US entity
- Ensure intercompany accounting is clean and well-documented
- Support the CFO with monthly management reporting that actually tells a story
- Make sure our financial data ties seamlessly to key SaaS metrics (ARR, margins, and more)
- Insurance administration together with our broker
- Subsidy administration and reporting
- Fleet administration in collaboration with HR
- Financial aspects of HR processes (payroll review, warrant schemes, etc.)
- Build and maintain strong relationships with auditors, tax advisors, banks, and subsidy agencies
- Keep our external compliance processes running smoothly
- Spot inefficiencies and take ownership in fixing them (#worksmarternotharder)
- Help automate KPI reporting and accounting workflows as we scale
You have a solid accounting foundation, a pragmatic mindset, and you thrive when you're given real ownership. You don't wait to be told what needs fixing because you see it and you act. You probably:
- Have 4–8 years of experience in an in-house finance role, or came up through audit and made the move to industry
- Know BEGAAP accounting inside out
- Are comfortable with VAT, annual accounts, and Belgian tax compliance
- Have some exposure to international accounting environments
- Have a basic handle on consolidation and intercompany accounting
- Love working in a hands-on environment where no two days look exactly the same
- Are structured, reliable, and detail-oriented (without being rigid)
- Communicate fluently in Dutch and English
- Have experience with Exact Online, Teamleader, or similar tools
