Job description

Support our business in making better decisions. At Epta Denmark, Finance is not just about reporting numbers. Our purpose is to help the business make better decisions through insight, analysis, and a deep understanding of what drives performance. We are looking for an ambitious and business-oriented Senior Business Controller who wants to go beyond spreadsheets and reporting and become a trusted financial sparring partner for managers and stakeholders across the organisation. You will join Epta Denmark, one of Denmark's leading providers of commercial refrigeration and cooling solutions. We are approximately 120 colleagues located across Køge and Viborg, working with sales, project execution, installation, service, and aftersales support for customers throughout Denmark. As part of the international Epta Group, we help supermarkets, convenience stores, and food industry customers create efficient and sustainable cooling solutions. 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. Understanding customers, service operations, projects, sales activities, and cost drivers will be just as important as understanding financial statements and KPIs. If you enjoy asking questions, challenging assumptions, and turning financial data into actions that create value, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

Your role

As Senior Business Controller you will help management and operational leaders understand performance, identify opportunities, and make sound business decisions based on reliable financial insight. You will work closely with the Country Finance Manager, managers across the business, and colleagues throughout the Epta Group.

Financial Planning & Forecasting

Supporting annual budgeting and rolling forecast processes.
Developing financial models, scenarios, and business cases.
Supporting long-term planning and performance improvement initiatives.
Supporting the organisation to understand the financial impact of business decisions before they are made.

Business Performance & Reporting

Preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual management reporting.
Monitoring financial and operational KPIs.
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.
Collaborating closely with Accounting and operational teams to ensure reliable and accurate reporting.

What you bring

We imagine that you have:

At least 5 years of experience within FP&A, Business Controlling, Corporate Finance, or a similar role.
Strong analytical and financial modelling capabilities.
Solid understanding of budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.
Experience from an international company or group structure.
A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field.
Fluency in Danish and English, both written and spoken.
A minimum of 3 years’ hands‑on experience with SAP is required. Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar reporting and analytics tools is considered an advantage.

Who you are

We are looking for somebody who is curious about the business behind the numbers. You enjoy understanding what drives performance and are motivated by turning financial insight into practical actions. You thrive when working closely with colleagues outside Finance and are comfortable spending time with managers, sales teams, project teams, and operational stakeholders to understand how value is created. You are likely to recognise yourself in several of the following:

You are naturally curious and ask questions before drawing conclusions.
You enjoy understanding how a business really works.
You challenge assumptions in a constructive manner.
You can transform complex information into clear recommendations.
You take ownership and deliver high‑quality work.
You enjoy balancing analysis with stakeholder dialogue.
You see technology and AI as opportunities to work smarter and create greater value.

What we offer

At Epta Denmark, you will have a visible role with significant exposure to management and key stakeholders throughout the business. This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional reporting and become an active contributor to business performance and decision making. We offer:
