Financial Controller

Do you want a key role in a growing finance team where you work closely with the business and contribute sharp analyses and decision-making materials that actually make a difference?

We are now looking for a Financial Controller with strong analytical skills, excellent Excel proficiency, and a genuine interest in understanding, questioning, and developing figures, processes, and working methods.

About the Role

You will be part of our finance team, which consists of six people in total – four who work broadly with accounting and one focused on group accounting. Now we are strengthening the team with a Financial Controller who can take a holistic approach to analysis, monitoring, and financial reporting.

The role is new, which means an opportunity to help shape working methods and structure from the ground up. You will have a group-wide perspective in an organization with approximately 30 companies and a broad business mix, with a focus on production and sales.

A large part of the work will involve compiling and quality-assuring data, as well as maintaining and further developing existing reports. At the same time, you are expected to create new reports and analysis tools that provide the business with better decision-making basis going forward.

You will work closely with the CFO and have ongoing dialogue with business managers and other key individuals in the organization. Since the role is new, we are looking for someone with a strong drive and commitment – someone who is curious to understand both the organization and the business.

Your responsibilities will include:

• working with profit and cost monitoring for several companies in the group
• analyzing outcomes against budget and forecast, and identifying and explaining variances
• producing and developing reports, KPIs, and decision-making materials
• building and further developing reporting tools
• quality-assuring data as well as handling and analyzing large datasets
• supporting budget and forecasting work
• contributing to streamlining and improving processes in monitoring and reporting

We are looking for someone with a mindset that everything can be improved. You combine curiosity and analytical sharpness with high accuracy and a drive to create smooth and sustainable processes that move the business forward.

We believe you have

• relevant education in finance (e.g., Master of Science in Business Administration)
• a few years of experience in controlling, accounting, or analysis
• very good ability to work with numbers, results, and financial monitoring
• very good Excel skills and are comfortable working with advanced functions and large datasets
• experience in presenting and pedagogically explaining financial analyses to different audiences

Meritorious

• experience with BI tools (e.g., Power BI)
• experience with ERP systems
• familiarity with working on budgets, forecasts, and reporting packages

Personal Attributes

To thrive with us, we believe you are:

• meticulous and structured
• analytical and solution-oriented
• self-driven with good prioritization skills
• curious and driven by improvement work

We Offer

• a role with significant impact and close collaboration with the CFO, management, and business
• opportunity to develop and streamline working methods and reporting in a group environment
• an engaged and close-knit finance team with high ambition level
