Management Assistant & Finance - International SME M/V/X

Beschrijving van de functie

About the Company

Join a fast-growing Belgian SME operating in a technical sector undergoing major transformation, recently integrated into an international group backed by a private equity shareholder.
The organization now brings together several Belgian and French entities, employing around 50 people and generating approximately €50M in revenue.

With strong growth momentum, the company is actively professionalizing its financial and administrative processes, creating an ideal environment for a hands-on, structured and agile professional.
Based in Wavre, you will work in direct collaboration with the Group CFO, while interacting regularly with Belgian and French subsidiaries.

Your Role

Your mission is to bring structure, clarity and execution, turning assumptions into concrete, operational action plans.

This role suits an agile, proactive professional who thrives in an SME environment where priorities evolve quickly and guidance is not always fully defined. You are expected to gather information, connect the dots and ensure financial deadlines are met.
