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.
