- preparing and managing analyses and reports within Profit/AFAS for various stakeholders;
- conducting both regular and ad hoc checks to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the payroll administration;
- proactively monitoring changes in payroll laws and regulations and timely implementing necessary adjustments within processes.
Your team stands out within DSV by its high level of accuracy, strong focus on customer satisfaction, and proactive implementation of improvements, even within a dynamic and continuously growing organisation.
