Financieel controller

Financial Controller (full time)

To strengthen our Finance & Control team, we are looking for an analytical Financial Controller who will be part of the EU controllers team responsible for several countries and related PF Concept Branches.

An interesting phase to join, because our Finance & Control activities are in a transition from a decentralized to a centralized department for our European activities. Currently we are in the last phase of the centralization of our financial administration at PF Concept International’s headquarter in the Netherlands.

The next few years will mainly focus on further professionalizing of Finance & Control to the next level. This through projects such as payroll centralization, in which Finance is of course involved. Implementing new and improving existing tooling and interfaces, processes and, not unimportantly, a more visible role for F&C within PF Concept.

That is why we are looking for a Financial Controller who not only manages the core business of the position, but also a person who has affinity and experience with information technology aspects and/ or has participated in projects. You will work in a team of 4 Financial Controllers and closely with the G/L Accountants and you report to the Group Controller EU.

If you are ready for your second or third career step as Financial Controller and do you want to be a part of the dynamic and challenging world of our product media industry, we invite you to apply for this job!

What are you going to do?

Your main core activities are to provide our executive team and other stakeholders with the data they need to make their most important financial decisions. Periodic reporting, analysis and budget monitoring, liquidity forecasts and yearly budget cycles will all be shaped by your reporting and analyzing skills and the insights you share with your colleagues.

It will not surprise you that this is reliable and accurate information that must be ready within the set structure and planning. Your general responsibilities also include returns of corporate income tax, VAT, Intrastat and other taxes, participating in projects, drawing up reports on an ad hoc basis and risk management. Since we are Private Equity owned, cash focus is critical and as such you’ll be asked to participate on an ad-hoc basis in projects such as for example, refinancing.

Who are you?

You have 3 - 5 years relevant work experience as Financial Controller. You are simply qualified for the job by relevant Higher professional level of education, training and, most important, your knowledge.
