WhyRecruitment is a $700B+ industry still running on outdated methods. The biggest players are slow to innovate. Spott isn't a tool that will be added to legacy software, it is a full reset. We are the core operating software. AI-native, fast, scalable, and personal.
What We're Looking For You have a Master's degree in Economics, Business, Finance or a related field. 2+ years of experience in banking or a finance/FP&A role at a startup/scale-up, with work you personally owned. Strong accounting fundamentals: you can close a month, read a P&L and balance sheet critically, and explain what moved and why. Hands-on with finance systems and comfortable making them talk to each other: accounting software, Stripe, banking, expense and payroll tools. You automate rather than maintain spreadsheets. High ownership and comfort with ambiguity. You build the process, then improve it. Clear, confident verbal and written communication skills in English. Dutch or French is a plus.

What You'll Do
Build our international finance stack from zero: pick and implement the accounting, billing, spend and payroll tools, and connect them so numbers flow without manual work. Own billing end to end, from subscription logic to revenue recognition to reconciliation against the ledger. Run the monthly close, cash and compliance, together with our external accountant. Produce a monthly reporting pack the founders and investors actually use. Build and own the financial model, budget and rolling forecast, and turn our SaaS metrics into a single source of truth. Be the person the founders check with before we spend money or add headcount. Decide what to automate, what to outsource and what to hire, then build the team behind you.

What We Offer
A true founding role: you build the finance function of a fast-growing, category-defining company, and own it as we scale. Direct access to the founders and to board-level reporting from day one. Competitive salary and stock options. Work at a YC-backed startup where speed and impact matter. Primarily on-site at our Leuven office, with WFH flexibility. Great team vibe with regular dinners and international offsites. Overall, if joining a high-growth company with an extremely talented and ambitious team sounds appealing to you, then you should apply, even if you don't match all criteria.
