Do you want to use your financial expertise directly to future-proof organisations and make a real impact?

At IMPROVEN, you work at the heart of the organisation, at the interface of finance, business and strategy.

What do you do as a Consultant Finance & Control at IMPROVEN?

As a Finance & Control Consultant, you are the driving force behind financial insight and improvement at our clients. You help organisations analyse financial data, optimise processes and strengthen control. You work on a variety of issues and translate analyses into concrete improvement actions. You combine thinking and doing: from mapping processes to implementing improvements in practice. You advise on topics such as financial control, reporting and performance management and assist in making well-founded decisions. You ensure that figures not only provide insight, but are also actually used. Furthermore, you work closely together with controllers, business stakeholders and data specialists. Your strength lies in analysing, structuring and clearly conveying insights.

With your practical and analytical view, you help organisations take steps towards greater control, better performance and sustainable improvement.

• Optimising financial processes, such as P2P and R2R, to increase efficiency and reduce errors
• Carrying out cost and impact analyses, for example within public or social issues
• Analysing price and efficiency differences to create insight into cost structures and improvement potential
• Improving reporting and performance management, including developing dashboards and KPI frameworks
• Performing (forensic) analyses and audits on financial processes and legality
• Advising stakeholders and acting as a sparring partner for management and board of directors
• Translating complex financial issues into concrete, implementable solutions
• Contributing to knowledge development and propositions within IMPROVEN

This is where you recognise yourself

• You are driven, keenly analytical and eager to go the extra mile to make a real impact
• You have at least 3 years of relevant work experience within finance, consultancy or project management
• You have an affinity for tools such as Excel, Power BI, SQL, SAP or other ERP systems
• You understand how finance, business and governance come together and reinforce each other
• You have strong communicative skills and the ability to switch between strategy and operations
• You are curious, inquisitive and have a drive to develop yourself and others
• You take ownership and supervise assignments from A to Z, from analysis to implementation
• You enjoy working within a consultancy environment combining client assignments with building IMPROVEN
• You have a clear drive to contribute to socially relevant issues

This is what else you are looking for in a job

• A substantively strong and versatile role with visible impact at leading customers
• Lots of room for own initiative, professional development and growth
• A regular employment with flexibility in hours and workplace
• 28 holidays (on a full-time basis)
• Hybrid working: at the customer, in the office and at home
• Work on impactful finance assignments combining analysis and implementation
• Regular IMPROVEN benefits, including laptop, phone, pension and events, plus a structural focus on knowledge sharing and professional development
• An active IMPROVEN community with sports activities, social events and knowledge sharing
• A professional culture in which quality is leading, entrepreneurship is encouraged and responsibility is trusted
• The opportunity to explore which form of contract best suits you

Your team

Within our Finance department, we work to strengthen the financial strength and agility of organisations that want to move forward. We combine substantive depth with a people-oriented approach and look for a consultant who sees finance not only as numbers, but as a powerful steering tool for sustainable improvement.

At IMPROVEN, you do not just work on projects; you help build the financial strength of the Netherlands. You get the space to apply your expertise at leading organisations, ranging from government and healthcare institutions to companies in the energy transition.

You become part of a committed team of professionals with a passion for finance, control and continuous improvement. Together with colleagues and experts in data, IT and process optimisation, you help organisations achieve greater insight, grip and steering power.

You are the connecting link between strategy and execution, between figures and decision-making.
