Finance & Office Administrator

At Lightyear, we’re building the future of solar charging technology. We’re a fast-growing startup with bold ambitions, rooted in high-tech innovation and the belief that clean mobility should be accessible to everyone.

To keep things running behind the scenes, we’re looking for someone who loves numbers and enjoys keeping a workplace organized and smooth. You’ll be at the center of our operational heartbeat: keeping the general ledger accurate and complete on time, while supporting the team with the essentials that make our working environment thrive.

If you enjoy combining structured financial work with hands-on office support, this role might be your perfect launchpad.

What you’ll do:

Finance Administration (your primary focus)

• Own accounts payable and receivable. Processing invoices, managing payments and following up with suppliers.

• Handle expenses, reimbursements and credit card statements with accuracy and care.

• Maintain clean and reliable financial records in our finance system.

• Support monthly closing activities and prepare data for our accountant.

• Create simple, insightful financial overviews for the Management Team (e.g. spending summaries, budget tracking, supplier costs).

• Coordinate with our external accountant on reporting, audits and compliance.

• Spot inefficiencies or inconsistencies and proactively suggest improvements.

• Help maintain clarity in budgets and internal financial processes.

Office & Team Operations (your secondary focus)

• Make sure the office runs smoothly. From supplies to facilities to simple planning tasks.

• Support the Management Team with meeting prep, agendas and general coordination.

• Assist with onboarding new colleagues and organizing small team moments.

• Coordinate IT basics to ensure tools and hardware are ready and functional.

• Perform light website maintenance (no coding, just keeping things tidy).

• Use AI tools like ChatGPT to automate routine work, write faster and improve workflows.

What you bring

• Education: We care more about how you think than what you studied.

• Experience with financial administration or a similar operations/finance role.

• A structured, precise and solution-oriented way of working.

• Strong comfort with digital tools, especially spreadsheets and financial software.

• Experience with Twinfield and/or Exact is a plus.

• A proactive mindset: you see what needs to happen and make it happen.

• An open, helpful personality, you enjoy supporting others.

• Fluent in English (Dutch is a bonus).

• You're available for 16-24 hours per week.
  

This role is for you if:

• Numbers calm you, structure energizes you, but you still enjoy people and variety.

• You’re reliable, organized and naturally inclined to tidy up processes.

• You like being the backbone of a growing organization.

• You adapt easily when things change.

• You love finding smarter, more efficient ways to work.

• You enjoy a role that blends finance with hands-on operations.

• You’re already living in the Netherlands (ideally within commuting distance of Venray). In the future we plan to move closer to Eindhoven.

What we offer:

• A front-row seat in a promising tech startup with a mission that matters.

• A super diverse and driven team.

• Freedom and ownership from day one.

• A flexible work culture in our sunny Venray office.

• And probably a few things you didn’t expect, in a good way.
