Make a difference in a growing finance operation as Assistant Financial Controller

Do you have a solid foundation in accounting and want to grow into financial control? Do you get energized by analysis, complex issues, and understanding what's really behind the numbers? Then this role as Assistant Financial Controller at HeadFirst Group is a logical and substantively strong next step in your finance career.

With us, you don't just work, you build. You support experienced Financial Controllers, take on more responsibility step by step, and grow into an independent controlling role within an international organization that is rapidly developing.

Your impact at HeadFirst Group

As Assistant Financial Controller, you are the bridge between Accounting and Financial Control. You work closely with three Financial Controllers within the Financial Control team and report to the Finance Manager. In this role, you assist with month-end closings, analyses, and reports, but you also have the opportunity to take on more and more ownership.

You immerse yourself in figures, identify deviations, ask critical questions, and translate data into insights. It is precisely that story behind the figures that makes your contribution valuable. In time, you will take over tasks from the Financial Controllers and grow into a fully-fledged controlling position.

You will be working in a professional finance environment where processes are optimized, systems are continuously developed, and quality is paramount. Initiative is valued and professional growth is central.

Since merging with the British Impellam Group, we have been building a single, strong international platform.

Finance plays a key role in this development. We are professionalizing our financial organization, strengthening the collaboration between accounting and control, and continuously working on improving insights, processes, and management information. As Assistant Financial Controller, you will have the opportunity to actively contribute to this and develop yourself professionally.

What will you do?

  • Support with monthly and annual closings;

  • Preparing and performing financial analyses and management reports;

  • Analyzing results, cost developments, and balance sheet positions;

  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning;

  • Identifying deviations and contributing ideas for improvement actions;

  • Supporting Financial Controllers with control and reporting issues;

  • Contribute to process improvements within accounting and financial control;
