We're looking for a senior financial professional to take ownership of our German-speaking markets and help scale our financial processes.

Are you excited to design, implement, and own new processes in a dynamic, international environment? Then we might be looking for you.

Senior Financial Controller

This Is What Your Role Looks Like

You'll be part of our Financial Control team (18 FTE), a talented international group of quick-thinking financial professionals who generate high-quality reports while working closely with the business.

We're looking for a Senior Financial Controller who takes ownership of the financial processing and reporting for our DACH entities. You work from our HQ in Hoofddorp and are the go-to person for everything finance-related in the German-speaking markets.

You focus on continuously improving the quality of monthly figures, take part in international company-wide projects, and proactively drive process improvements to make our financial operations more efficient, effective, and scalable.

Your Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of the financial processing and reporting for our DACH entities
  • Take part in company-wide projects and implement correct and efficient financial processes for innovations and new business models
  • Analyze business processes, signal risks, and implement process improvements
  • Proactively pursue business issues that impact the general ledger and evaluate acceptable solutions
  • Ensure all business transactions are properly and timely recorded across all relevant entities
  • Create and review reconciliations and lead schedules for balance sheet and P&L accounts
  • Prepare reporting to relevant authorities and support external audit requirements
  • Contribute to the further development of the Internal Control Framework

Who Are You?

You're a self-starter and problem solver; accurate, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced international environment. You take ownership and aren't afraid to flag issues and drive change.

Additionally, we're looking for someone with:

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance
  • Minimum 6 years of experience in a similar complex, high-volume IFRS accounting environment
  • Proven track record in process improvement
  • Fluent in German (required); strong English is a must, Dutch or French is a plus
  • Ability to interact with all departments and levels across the organization
  • Proficiency in MS Excel (advanced); SAP S4/HANA experience is preferred
