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
