Team Leader Accounts Payable Department

 

"The world of accounting is so much broader than just accounts payable, accounts receivable, and the general ledger"

 

As a recent graduate at 22 years old, with my MBO level 4 diploma in Business Administration in hand, I started looking for a job. Since I live in the Eindhoven region, DAF Trucks was on my list. 

When I saw a job vacancy there, I knew I had to apply. DAF, the large and well-known company in Eindhoven, seemed like a fantastic place to work. Many friends were already working there, and the idea of being part of such a large work environment excited me. Working at a big company was also thrilling. At first, it took some time to getting used to, but fortunately, I was warmly welcomed in the department. My first role was in the accounts payable department, where I ensured that the invoices received by DAF were processed timely and correctly. It was interesting to see how everything came together and that I played an important role in the entire process.

After three years in this position, I had the opportunity to grow to the role of team leader in the accounts payable department, which is also my current position. This was a significant step for me. As a team leader, I have more responsibilities and am involved in various projects to improve our processes. I also mentor interns in the department every year, sharing my knowledge with them. The world of accounting is much broader than just accounts payable, accounts receivable, and the general ledger. I am eager to impart this knowledge to them.

At DAF, you truly have many opportunities. Because I am always eager to learn, many chances have come my way. DAF encourages you to grow, allowing you to showcase your skills. I believe that by learning and showing what I can do, I can create even more opportunities for myself.
