Vacancy Financial Administrator By the Ocean we Unite | 0.5 day a week

The By the Ocean we Unite foundation is immediately looking for reinforcements in the finance department.

About us

ANBI foundation By the Ocean we Unite was founded in 2016 by professional sailor Thomas van Thiel. While fulfilling his big dream in 2014 - sailing across the Atlantic Ocean - after 10 days of sailing, he came across "a plastic bottle in the middle of that blue desert", as he can tell so beautifully. This hit hard, so far from the continents. Thomas decided to dedicate his time and energy to protecting his beloved oceans. Now, 4 years later and with a lot of knowledge, impact and a wonderful team, we are ready for the next step.

We sail on rivers, lakes, seas and oceans to combat the growing plastic soup. Our team of enthusiastic scientists invites the general public, organizations, governments and influencers to map the quantities of (micro) plastic together. What better place to get intensely involved in the challenge and solutions than on the beautiful waters of this planet. Where does all that plastic come from? Where is it going? What are the consequences? What can you do? What can we do? The foundation sails, tells, inspires, motivates, connects and steers. And everyone can join. Together on the path to cleaner oceans.

By the Ocean we Unite is growing rapidly. Just like the attention to plastic soup. This growth includes an experienced financial administrator who takes a lot of financial work off our hands.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced financial administrator who shares the ideas and energy of By the Ocean we Unite and who wants to grow with the foundation. You get excited about the mighty seas and oceans of this planet and have an affinity for plastic (pollution). We expect you to spend about 0.5 days a week on:

● Taking care of the daily financial administration

● Compliance of purchase orders with purchase invoices and payment thereof

● Coordinate bank deposits, monitor bank balances and manage liquidity position

● Checking office expenses, including submitted invoices and settling their payment

● Developing monthly financial statements, including drawing up the profit and loss account and balance sheet

● Periodic reporting of financial results to management

● Preparing quarterly sales tax returns and arranging payments to the tax authorities

Our wishes are also that you:

- have good communication skills, both orally and in writing;

- can work excellently independently;

- have analytical skills;

- works very accurately;

- can work well with deadlines;

- have proven experience and expertise in independently managing financial administrations.

It concerns a position of maximum 0.5 day per week with a view of the lake. We have a 3 month trial period.

What do we offer?

For the time being, it is an unpaid position with an expense allowance. You will work in a very driven team where fun and adventure run parallel to generating as much positive impact as possible. You will be involved in special events both on water and on land and will be fed with the latest insights into the plastic problems and opportunities. You also get access to a very extensive and warm network in the world of plastic pollution.

Do you suit By the Ocean we Unite?

The drive within By the Ocean we Unite has brought us to where we are. If we had worked for the money, we wouldn't have gotten this far. We are always very enthusiastic about our passionate and inspiring team, and hopefully also about you. The foundation is going through an exciting phase of professionalization. We have had a great office in Amsterdam South since November, but we often work from home. We therefore expect you to be able to work independently. You will work closely with Nella van Braam (MT) and our financial advisors.
