Team Lead Record to Report

Based in Amsterdam, the Record to Report (R2R) team sits within FinOps, further building out the General Ledger (GL) and Tax Accounting function. As Team Lead, you will drive the operational shift from function-based accounting to process-owned streams across Lead-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay.

This is a high-scope, hands-on leadership role for someone with a true builder mentality. You will not only coach a team, but actively dive into system architecture, data pipelines, and core processes to lay the foundation for Adyen’s 10X growth strategy.

The team is made up of individuals with diverse skill sets across GL and Tax accounting, and, as such, encompasses a broad set of challenges. As Team Lead, your role is about mentoring and skill development, inspiring action with a clear vision, taking care of and empowering people, and overseeing the team’s processes to achieve its goals.

What you’ll do

People:

• Mentor, coach, and scale a multi-disciplinary team of GL and Tax specialists. Set clear vision, manage resource planning, and foster a high-performance, ownership-driven culture. • Stakeholder Management: Collaborate across Group Finance (Financial Controlling, Lead to Cash, Procure to Pay, Payroll, and Tax) and with non-finance stakeholders (Procurement, Legal, Infrastructure, and HR). • Cross-functional Alignment: Work closely with global leads, operational teams, and the broader finance organization.

Process:

• Drive stream-level automation initiatives across the R2R pipeline to streamline month-end closing, eliminate manual tasks, and ensure complete data accuracy. • General Ledger Management: Manage GL activities related to operational and capital expenditures (for example, OPEX, CAPEX, Intercompany and leases), as well as revenue and accounts-receivable related accounting (Lead-to-Cash). • Take an active role in systems and product design, leading the foundational work on data quality to execute complete "touchless tax returns". • Audit Support: Work together with Financial Controlling; provide support and information to internal and external auditors regarding GL and Tax Accounting data. • Financial Analysis: Prepare variance analysis during the month-end closing process.
