Country Controller

People & Finance 📍 Amsterdam

In a nutshell

We are looking for a Country Controller who combines first-class analytical skills with a creative, problem-solving mindset. You don’t just execute finance tasks—you take ownership, challenge the status quo, and have a healthy appetite for calculated risks—an enabler, not a blocker!

As a key player in our Controlling team, you’ll lead the Dutch finance domain while supporting our NL, DE, and FR markets. Acting as the main finance contact for NL business teams, you’ll work closely with Finance Operations, Group Controllers, and Analysts to deliver impactful financial reporting that drives strategic decisions. From managing the entire Dutch balance sheet and P&L to presenting key insights directly to senior leadership, including the CFO, you’ll play a pivotal role in building a scalable, data-driven finance function.

Tricks of the trade

End-to-end ownership: Oversee the Dutch balance sheet and P&L, ensuring accuracy and completeness of financials
Financial advice: Provide oversight and financial advice on the NL Finance topics
Collaboration: Work closely with different business teams on making our numbers accurate and complete
Reporting: Challenge our operations teams in their periodic reports
Hands-on: Show hands-on mentality in our daily finance operations
Process leadership: Lead improvement projects regarding our internal processes and controls
Audit support: Support in year-end and audit tasks

Your superpowers

Master’s degree in Finance, Economics and/or Accounting
4+ years of experience in a Controlling, FP&A, Financial Due Diligence, or similar roles
Strong analytical skills, structured and accurate
Strong analytical mindset with a hands-on approach - you’re willing to roll up your sleeves
