Bookkeeper (part-time in NL, 16 hours/week contract)

🏔️ Arkipel

We are building products that get people moving outside. Relive helps more than 25 million users plan, capture and share their outdoor adventures. JOIN is the training app for cyclists and endurance athletes who want to train smarter. REN is our newest running app, supporting users in their daily running routine. Kunu is our golf app that tells you what you can improve with every swing.

Each app has its own identity, but behind the scenes we’re building a scalable organization that’s ready for the future. Small teams, big products, no layers of management between an idea and the people it reaches. We build things we are genuinely proud of, and we move fast because we can.

For our fast-growing portfolio of apps, we are looking for a structured, independent Bookkeeper with a sharp eye for numbers.

You’ll work centrally for Relive, JOIN, REN and Kunu keeping the books in order so the rest of the team can trust the numbers and focus on building.

You’ll work closely with our financial analyst and make sure all our bookkeeping flows run smoothly: from invoicing to VAT returns, from subscription transactions to monthly reports for our entire portfolio.
