📋 Description

• Recovering revenue through structured financial reconciliations across running and closing studies • Accelerating cash collection by taking ownership of manual billing for a defined portfolio of central lab studies • Improving client relationships by resolving invoicing queries accurately and in a timely manner • Supporting the finance function's wider transformation as Cerba Research moves toward full SAP go-live • Perform financial reconciliations across clinical studies — comparing revenues, budgets, and invoiced amounts, identifying variances, and driving resolution • Execute manual billing for a defined portfolio of central lab studies, ensuring accuracy and timeliness • Review and maintain project budgets, ensuring alignment with contract terms and reflecting subsequent change orders • Monitor project revenues and expenses on a monthly basis, providing variance analysis for internal and external stakeholders • Ensure accurate revenue recognition based on study progress, contract terms, and accounting standards • Liaise with Accounts Receivable to support timely invoicing and payment collection • Work cross-functionally with Project Managers, Finance, Lab Ops, and the Contracts & Proposals team to address financial questions and discrepancies • Support internal and external audits by providing required financial documentation • Contribute to automation initiatives, including financial reconciliation and profitability tracking tools

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field • Experience in financial analysis, with a focus on project finance in Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, CRO, or Biotech • Solid grounding in revenue recognition, contract financials, clinical trial budgeting, and billing processes • Proficiency in financial systems — SAP, CTMS, Excel — and curiosity about what comes next (automation, AI-assisted tools) • A self-starter who doesn't need hand-holding to move from brief to output • Excellent communicator — comfortable working with external clients as well as internal cross-functional teams • CPA, CFA, or PMP certification is beneficial but not required • Based in the Netherlands or Belgium (hybrid/remote), or remote from the UK, with full right to work in your country of residence • Fluent in English; additional Dutch or French language skills are a plus but not required.

🏖️ Benefits

• Real Impact – This isn't a support function. The work you do directly addresses revenue leakage, accelerates cash collection, and restores client confidence in billing. • A Business in Motion – Cerba are mid-transformation. SAP implementation, process modernisation, and a growing PFA function mean you're joining at a moment where good people shape how things are built. • Scale & Infrastructure – 40+ years of clinical research heritage, a global accredited lab network, and long-standing relationships across biopharma and biotech. • A Team Worth Joining – You'll work alongside an experienced subject matter expert who will coordinate and support the team.
