We’re looking for a detail‑driven Accounts Payable (AP) Accountant to play a key role in keeping our Purchase‑to‑Pay (P2P) process running smoothly. You’ll ensure vendor invoices are processed accurately and paid on time for our two Belgian entities — EPC (our factory in Malle) and Ecover Belgium (our sales office in Brecht).

Key Responsibilities

  • Process and book vendor invoices (mainly Dutch and English) in SAP, ensuring timely and accurate payment.
  • Monitor and support the end‑to‑end P2P process, including purchase orders and invoice payments.
  • Act as the primary contact for vendors, managing queries and resolving blocked invoices.
  • Manage MRBR and GR/IR items, producing reports, analysing discrepancies and coordinating actions to resolve them.
  • Support month‑end closing activities, including reconciliations and aging analysis.
  • Collaborate with Quality and Planning teams on supplier complaints, returns and delivery issues (financial follow‑up).
  • Monitor payments, maintain the finance inbox, support audits and contribute to Intrastat reporting.
  • Continuously identify opportunities to improve AP and P2P processes for greater efficiency and compliance.

Experience You’ll Bring

  • A strong understanding of the Purchase‑to‑Pay / Accounts Payable process.
  • Good working knowledge of VAT regulations.
  • Experience processing invoices in an ERP system (SAP preferred).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in Dutch and English.
  • A patient, diplomatic approach when working with internal teams and external suppliers.
  • Highly organised, with strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work to tight deadlines.

About us:

We are the people behind method + Ecover. We’ve always done things differently – we’re fearless thinkers, mad scientists and adventurous designers who believe that making soap leads to brave ideas, bold inventions and beautiful bubbles. We started small but we have big plans to make the world a cleaner, greener, more colourful place. We invite everyone to join us as we pioneer a future where doing business is doing good for all.

Let’s get one thing straight – you’re not coming here to just sell soap, or cleaning products. You’re joining us to move the hearts, souls and minds of others all over the world that see the world differently. We think about cleaning as an act of creative expression, a gesture of rebellion, and, yes, an escape from the normal. We take cleaning seriously – but not ourselves.

Alongside our friends Mrs. Meyer’s clean day and babyganics in the US, we are collectively known as Lifestyle Brands and are part of the SC Johnson family.

It’s a big, beautiful, colourful world out there and we should celebrate that. That’s why we’re working hard to be a fully diverse and inclusive place to work. Every day we strive to create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued, listened to, supported and where we can do our best work. Sure, there’s always more that can be done.
