Financial Controller

At Sana Commerce we're committed to an inclusive environment and recognize that our diverse workforce is one of our greatest strengths.

It all started in 2007, with a pizza and a plan. Sana Commerce is an e-commerce platform designed to help manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers succeed by fostering lasting relationships with customers who depend on them. We’re a fast-growing SaaS company that allows you to take ownership of your career.

At Sana Commerce, we’re on a mission to help B2B sellers grow better relationships with their buyers through frictionless digital commerce.

As our Financial Controller, you’ll take ownership of the financial control function across the Sana group of companies. You will ensure the integrity and compliance of financial reporting under Dutch GAAP, manage and develop a high-performing, international finance team, and act as a business partner to key stakeholders across the organization.

We’re looking for someone who is both strong in technical accounting (think: revenue recognition, VAT, WHT and complex reporting), and a collaborative, pro-active team player, with a hands-on mentality, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, international SaaS environment.

What you'll get:

• A hybrid working model - 3 days from the office, 2 days from home;
• Up to 6 weeks “work from anywhere” per year;
• A global and customized team onboarding program (9,1/10 rated by previous new hires);
• Tuesday and Thursday lunch on us (toasties, sandwiches, salads).
