📍 Ghent, Belgium | Permanent position

Ready to take the next step after audit?

Have you built a strong foundation in audit and accounting, but want to get closer to the business, understand how a company operates from the inside, and see the impact of your work beyond the audit report?

This could be the move for you.

I'm working with an international organisation looking for a Group Financial Controller to work closely with the CFO and finance team, gaining exposure to group reporting, consolidation, international entities and finance transformation projects.

It's an opportunity to take the technical knowledge you've developed in audit and apply it in a broader, more commercially exposed role.

🚀 Why make the move?

• Work directly with the CFO and gain first-hand exposure to senior finance leadership.
• Move beyond external audit and become involved in the company's financial processes from the inside.
• Broaden your technical experience across statutory reporting, consolidation and intercompany transactions.
• Get involved in international projects, including ERP implementations across multiple sites.
• Build your industry career with exposure to group accounting standards, reporting and process improvement.
• Enjoy variety and ownership in a role where you can take initiative and help shape how the finance function develops.

📊 What will you be responsible for?

• Supporting statutory accounts, group reporting and consolidation.
• Preparing quarterly reporting inputs, including CAPEX and FTE analyses.
• Supporting the accounting of holding companies and intercompany calculations.
• Assisting with finance-related ERP implementations across Belgian and international sites.
• Preparing presentations and supporting the CFO on financial projects.
• Contributing to the development of group accounting policies and internal processes.

🎯 Who would be a great fit?

• Around 3 years of relevant experience, particularly in external audit or financial consulting.
• A bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting or a related field.
• A solid understanding of financial statements and accounting principles.
• Strong Excel skills, an analytical mindset and excellent attention to detail.
• Fluent Dutch and English.
• Someone looking to transition from a client-service environment into an in-house finance role with broader responsibilities.

💰 The package & opportunity

• Up to €5,000 gross/month, depending on experience.
• Meal vouchers, hospitalisation insurance and additional corporate benefits.
• Direct collaboration with the CFO and group finance team.
• International exposure and involvement in meaningful finance projects.
• A flexible, entrepreneurial environment with room to learn, develop and take ownership.
