Junior Business Controller

Are you looking for the next step in your career within an international, publicly listed trading company? For our Capi segment, we are looking for a driven and ambitious Junior Business Controller. Are you analytically strong and energised by  challenging the business with sharp financial insights? Then we are looking for you!

Reach your full potential as a Junior Business Controller

As a Junior Business Controller, you will be part of our Finance team, consisting of a Finance Director, six controllers, and seven administrators. You will report directly to the Senior Controller and work closely with colleagues from Sales and Commercial departments.

Your journey starts with mastering the fundamentals of our financial administration and systems, including processing purchase invoices, managing cash and bank transactions, and checking goods invoices and payment flows.

Before long, you’ll grow into a fully-fledged controller, playing a key role in supporting our commercial and management teams. You’ll work closely with other controllers and help provide valuable financial insights. Your monthly figures and reports will be essential for strategic decision-making and optimising our business operations.

What else will you do?

• Prepare weekly and monthly management reports, including forecasting and budgeting
• Handle the month-end and year-end closing for assigned locations and entities, ensuring accuracy and completeness of Balance Sheet & P&L
• Analyse financial results and identify patterns
• Ensure correct invoicing and registration of purchasing agreements with suppliers
• Provide ad hoc support to Senior Controllers on various business cases

This is you

You have a sharp analytical mindset and can quickly identify patterns in complex data. Numbers are your second language, but you also excel at translating financial insights into clear, actionable advice. You are critical and inquisitive, not settling for half-answers but always digging deeper to get to the core of the issue. With your persuasive communication skills, you advise the business in a way that truly makes an impact.

• Have internship experience in finance or at least one year of relevant work experience
• Are experienced in working with Excel and can quickly pick up other financial systems

• Initially, a one-year contract with the prospect of  permanent employment 
• 25 vacation days, with the possibility to purchase additional days
• A travel allowance of up to 75 km on single trip travel when working at the office, or an allowance if you’re working remotely (from home)

• A pension scheme where 2/3rd of the pension costs are paid by us
• The possibility to take courses related to your growth ambitions and function
