You will be responsible for the financial month-end procedures in close collaboration with the accounting assistants who execute most of the journal entries, while taking ownership of the more complex analysis yourself and working closely together with the business controllers. You will also have an important role in the preparation of (local) statutory statements the group and local audits, the tax compliance (CIT + VAT and other) and other finance-related issues. Furthermore you will participate in Financial Control process improvement projects often in close collaboration with other departments within the company. You report to the Head of Financial Control Eastern Europe. The Financial Control Eastern Europe team consists of 5 persons including your manager and yourself. The Eastern Europe region is an exciting mixture of mature and high growth and expanding countries. At this moment it consists of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Romania and soon Hungary.

Being in close contact with local staff while doing the analytical review of the P&L and balance sheet, you also investigate variances and validate the numbers.
