Senior Accountant | Aerospace

Company & role overview

Our partner, a fast-growing technology & industrial company based in Walloon Brabant, is looking for a Senior Accountant to strengthen its Finance team. Why apply? Our partner is a Belgian technology company operating in a highly innovative industrial environment. In just a few years, the business has grown significantly and now employs several hundred people, with activities extending across Europe and internationally.
