Job description

As a Project Accountant, you will be at the financial core of our nature-based projects, ensuring every transaction, report, and system aligns with both local governance and international standards. This is more than just a bookkeeping role, it’s a position of trust, structure, and impact.

You will be responsible for managing the financial operations of both field-level project activities and the associated legal entities. Your work will support ecological restoration, community engagement, and long-term sustainability by keeping our financial systems clear, compliant, and audit-ready.

In this role, you will:

  • Take ownership of day-to-day financial management, including bookkeeping, petty cash, and payroll
  • Ensure full compliance with local tax laws, statutory filings, and audit requirements
  • Handle international transfers, cross-currency accounting, and reconciliation
  • Maintain both digital and physical records in a way that ensures auditability and transparency
  • Coordinate with the global finance team to align local operations with group-wide standards
  • Contribute to budget planning, forecasting, and performance reporting
  • Support internal and external audits by preparing clear, timely documentation
  • Act as a reliable financial point of contact for field teams and headquarters

This role offers the chance to work on meaningful, nature-based initiatives while operating in a structured, internationally connected financial environment. You’ll be part of a global mission, with real local responsibility.

Requirements

We are looking for a highly dependable and capable financial professional who is ready to work at the intersection of purpose and precision. You’ll need a mix of technical skill, practical experience, and a structured mindset.

You bring:

  • A degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline
  • At least 3 years of professional experience in a similar role, ideally with exposure to both project finance and legal entity administration
  • Strong knowledge of international accounting principles, compliance procedures, and financial controls
  • Demonstrated experience with payroll processing, tax submissions, and regulatory filings
  • Proficiency in digital accounting tools and financial reporting systems
  • A high level of accuracy, organization, and discretion in handling financial data
  • The ability to work independently while maintaining close coordination with remote teams
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
  • A CPA, ACCA, or equivalent certification is a strong advantage and will be highly regarded

This is a role for someone who takes ownership, values clarity, and thrives in a mission-driven, detail-oriented environment. If you’re ready to bring financial discipline to projects that make a real-world difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Benefits

Competitive Compensation & Ownership

  • A competitive salary that reflects your expertise and responsibility
  • Performance-based rewards and growth opportunities within a fast-scaling international company
  • Share in our long-term success – all employees receive stock options in our publicly listed company (AEX: DGB)

Purpose-Driven Work

  • Your financial discipline fuels real-world impact – every report you file and process you manage supports reforestation, conservation, and biodiversity initiatives
  • Be part of something tangible – our projects are real, and you’re welcome to visit them and see the difference your work enables on the ground

Flexibility & Trust

  • A results-first environment – we care about outcomes, not clock-ins
  • Join a global team of professionals who are passionate about doing good work for a greater mission
