• Financial Control: Assist with reviewing financial data, identifying discrepancies and understanding how financial controls are designed, documented and implemented to ensure accurate and reliable reporting.

• Budgeting & Forecasting: Contribute to budgeting and forecasting activities, learning how financial plans are developed, monitored and used to support business decisions.

• Financial Analysis: Prepare reports and analyses, identify trends and translate financial data into meaningful insights.

• Financial Systems: Gain hands‑on experience with NetSuite, our financial management system, and learn how financial information is managed within an international organisation.

• Process Improvement & Automation: Analyse and document existing financial processes, identify opportunities for improvement and explore how automation and AI can make workflows more efficient.

• Independent Improvement Project: Take ownership of a finance‑related project, applying your academic knowledge and research skills to develop practical recommendations and present your findings to the team.

What Do We Value in Our Candidates?

• You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related fields. Please note you will need to be enrolled for the full duration of the internship.

• You are available 32-40 hours per week for a period of 4-6 months, starting from February 2027.

• You have a curious, proactive and hands‑on mindset, with the confidence to ask questions, take initiative and contribute new ideas.

• You are attentive to details, with the ability to stay focused, organised and accurate when working with financial information.

What Do We Offer?

Beyond the basics, we want to make sure our interns have everything they need to thrive and help us achieve our mission. That’s why we offer a range of additional benefits designed to keep you happy, healthy, and supported – both inside and outside of work.

• €500 internship allowance, paid out monthly.
