If you currently perform some kind of similar role to a Finance Manager, e.g. a Senior Finance Accountant, Senior Finance Employee or Business Accountant, and would like to understand more about the responsibilities you’d have at CTS, then we can explore this on an initial call.

Location and flexibility

As part of our DNA, we offer a flexible working environment, so we encourage you to apply and ask if this is something you require. When it comes to your working location, we’d leave it to you to decide what works best. The only thing we ask from you is to weekly visit our office in Utrecht. It’s up to you how many days a week you work from there, but we think 2 days would be ideal for this role.

We may ask you to travel occasionally to one of our other offices (or a customer site) for specific meetings or team building/social events.

Fair Pay. Done Right.

Our "Fair Pay. Done Right." commitment: We don't advertise salary brackets because we don't have salary brackets. We encourage conversation about your (and our) salary expectations from the off and throughout your time with us, but we don't want to discourage anyone from applying because they are on significantly more or less than a "bracket".

What you’ll get

In addition to a competitive salary (see our “Fair Pay. Done Right” commitment), the CTS benefits package is outlined below:

• Company-contributed pension scheme
• Unlimited paid holiday days. It is not all about working!
• An NS OV Business card.
• Flexible work culture. We trust you to manage your time and workload responsibly.
• Take up to 10 paid 'Learning Days' (in addition to your annual leave) to spend on professional development.
• Work From Anywhere' policy. Work abroad up to 90 days a year.
• The ability to complete Professional Google Certifications and other industry-recognized training and certifications (paid for by the company).
• Industry-leading parental leave policies, health and wellness initiatives, and access to a discount and rewards program (including discounted gym memberships).

Whats next

Our Talent Partner Martijn Smit will contact you within 5 working days after your application. If we agree that there is a match during the intake, then 2 follow-up interviews will take place. One informal 30-minute interview with Country Manager Marcel Stolk (BNL) and a second interview (45 minutes) with Steven Barrow (Head of Finance UK) and Karlie Simpson (Financial Controller UK).

We don’t believe in long drawn-out interview processes. We try wherever possible to move things along quickly. If all interviews go well, we will then make you a nice offer and, if you accept it, we will talk about the onboarding process.

Diversity and Inclusion Statement

At CTS, we look after each other and support everyone on our team. We’re proud of our people-centered culture; our diversity brings us innovation and our commitment to inclusion drives us forward. If you share these values and would be interested in joining one of our teams, get in touch today!

Environmental and Social Responsibility

As part of our alignment to the B Corporation framework, we expect that all of our employees play their part in our social progression plans. Whether that’s leading the environmental board, playing a part in the DEI community, participating in a charity support day or simply just following our advice on buying locally and considering the environment when booking a hotel or restaurant. Every bit counts.
