Why Join Snaauws Kitchens:

Solid Training & Foundation:

While we offer full training, we are seeking someone with prior experience in accounts and payroll to ensure you can quickly adapt to our systems and processes. Your solid foundation in bookkeeping will allow you to focus on learning our specific procedures without feeling overwhelmed by basic concepts.

Why It’s Great: You’ll benefit from a structured training environment while also being able to dive into your tasks and responsibilities more confidently thanks to your existing knowledge.

Flexible Hours & Schedule:

Choose between 25 to 38 hours per week, with flexible start and finish times that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle. Whether you need more time for family commitments, studying, or other personal projects, you have the freedom to structure your hours in a way that best fits your needs.

Why It’s Great: Work-life balance is key, and this flexibility gives you the autonomy to maintain that balance while still fulfilling your professional role. You’re not stuck in a rigid 9-to-5 schedule, giving you the ability to enjoy your personal life and commitments.

Small, Friendly, and Supportive Team:

With a smaller office environment, you’ll work closely with a tight-knit team, where collaboration and communication are essential. This kind of setting fosters a positive and supportive atmosphere, where you’ll feel valued and connected.

Why It’s Great: You’ll have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your colleagues and contribute directly to the company's success. This dynamic makes the workday more enjoyable and provides you with the support you need to excel in your role.

Clean, Warm, and Inviting Premises:

Our modern and well-maintained premises provide a comfortable working environment that makes it easier to focus and be productive. The clean and inviting workspace is designed to ensure you feel at ease while working, promoting a positive and motivating atmosphere.

Why It’s Great: Working in a comfortable and pleasant space directly impacts your satisfaction and productivity. The new, well-kept office reflects our commitment to providing a great environment for our employees.

Real Responsibility & Autonomy:

You won’t just be managing tasks; you’ll be entrusted with real responsibilities, including overseeing payroll and handling key aspects of accounting. With autonomy over your duties, you’ll have the chance to make decisions that have a direct impact on the business.

Why It’s Great: Having more responsibility helps you develop professionally, boosts your confidence, and can be a major asset to your resume. The trust placed in you means you can take pride in your work and feel empowered to contribute to the company’s success.

Insight into the Broader Business:

Working at Snaauws Kitchens will give you a broader view of how the entire business operates, not just the financial side. You’ll be involved in key operational processes and get exposure to various aspects of the business, which can be valuable for your career growth.

Why It’s Great: This holistic understanding of how the company runs will make you a more well-rounded professional. Whether you stay in accounting or eventually pursue a broader role, this knowledge will serve you well in future career endeavors.

Competitive, Negotiable Wage:

We offer a competitive salary that is negotiable based on your experience and qualifications. Snaauws Kitchens values the experience you bring to the role and is willing to offer a salary that reflects your skills and capabilities.

Why It’s Great: You’re rewarded for the expertise you bring to the table. If you have strong experience in accounts and payroll, you can negotiate a salary that matches your skill set, making this an attractive and rewarding opportunity.

Plentiful Car Parking:

Easy and plentiful on-site parking means you don’t have to worry about finding a space each day, saving you time and stress. Parking is never a hassle, and the convenience of having ample parking directly on site is a big bonus.

Why It’s Great: It’s the little things, like not having to circle around looking for parking, that can make your daily commute smoother and stress-free. This simple perk adds to the overall convenience and comfort of your workday.
