Finance Intern – AP/AR/GL @ Silverfin in Ghent

Silverfin

Silverfin reinvents the way financial advisors work: our cloud-based technology allows 800+ accountancy firms and financial advisors to streamline significant parts of their workload and spend more time on value adding activities. 
We’ve built one hell of a product and our customers love us. Even our customers’ customers love us.
Why? Silverfin solves a very real problem: it automates a large chunk of the repetitive tasks that people working in financial services spend their time on and improves communication with their customers.
We have been growing rapidly since our launch in 2013. Originating from Belgium, we have successfully launched activities in the UK, Benelux and Nordics. From these offices, we’re serving a strongly growing client base, including the big 4, in 12 countries with 170+ colleagues.
As a fast-growing company, we’ve launched an internship programme to give the young professionals of tomorrow the opportunity to take their first steps into the business world. We are still looking for interns in 2023 (2nd half-year)/2024 (1st half-year).
