Our business combines technical expertise, commercial understanding, project execution, and nationwide service operations. To succeed in this role, you must be genuinely curious about how a business operates.

Analysing profitability, gross margins, productivity, and cost development. Translating financial data into clear recommendations for managers and stakeholders.
• Business Partnering: Acting as a financial sparring partner for managers across the organisation. Building a deep understanding of customers, operations, projects, and service activities. Challenging assumptions and identifying opportunities for improvement. Supporting business leaders with fact‑based decision making.
• Process Improvement & Digitalisation: Improving reporting, planning, and forecasting processes. Supporting automation and digitalisation initiatives within Finance. Identifying smarter ways of working through data, technology, and AI. Contributing to increased transparency and better data quality.
• Finance Operations Support: Supporting VAT reconciliations and Intrastat reporting. Following up on selected finance processes and external service providers. Collaborative with Accounting and operational teams to ensure reliable and accurate reporting.
