Responsibilities of the office manager

First and foremost, we are looking for a skilled bookkeeper who will ensure that we dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s. As our operation keeps growing, so does the complexity on the accounting side of our business, and we need someone to keep a competent and close eye on our numbers together with our management team and external accounting partners.

Additionally, you will be responsible for keeping our office in good shape and supporting us on multiple fronts. This includes everything from HR tasks to receiving and shipping packages and keeping track of our watch inventory. It’s a role with a great deal of variety that touches most parts of our business.

Bookkeeping

• Processing of travel expenses and credit card statements
• Preparation of outgoing invoices (accounts receivable), including the dunning system
• Reconciliation of current accounting with the P&L/balance sheets from the tax consultant
• Coordination of payment processes (setting up payments as well as monitoring incoming and outgoing payments, including liquidity planning)
• Close coordination with our tax advisor and the group accounting department

Office managing

• HR tasks such as onboarding new employees
• Maintaining our office environment: overseeing the cleaning company, keeping track of and ordering office supplies, etc.
• Receiving and posting packages
• Keeping track of our watch inventory

You are a great fit if:

• You have completed an apprenticeship with a focus on financial accounting, a related college degree, or a comparable qualification
• At best, you have several years of professional experience in accounting and have actively worked on monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• You are proficient in the use of common office solutions, especially Excel, and you can quickly familiarize yourself with new systems
• You are fluent in written and spoken English
• You are well organized, and you enjoy creating and upkeeping lean processes and structured environments
• You have an eye for details, and you like to think along

What to expect at Fratello

Fratello started in 2004 as a hobby project for our founder, Robert-Jan Broer, to share his passion for watches with the world. That spirit is still at the core of Fratello. We may have grown rapidly and are now one of the most widely read titles in the world of luxury watches, but we kept our identity as a group of friends and coworkers who share a passion for watches. It’s a dynamic team in which everyone has their area of expertise and can work independently, yet we all have each other’s backs.
