Prepare ad‑hoc analyses for management (e.g. commercial performance, customer profitability, projects)
Contribute to further standardization and automation of finance and reporting processes
Support the review and documentation of SOX controls
Contribute to continuous improvement of reporting, controls and finance processes

Profile / Requirements

University degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Economics or similar
2–3 years of experience in controlling, financial analysis or audit
Practical experience with SAP
Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate data into clear, actionable insights
Advanced Excel skills; experience with BI/reporting tools (e.g. Power BI) is an advantage
Proactive, curious and hands‑on, with a strong sense of ownership
Comfortable working with multiple entities/brands and tight deadlines
Strong communication skills; able to both challenge and support the business
Fluent in English; Dutch is a strong plus

What we offer

A stepping‑stone role towards a Controller position within an international group
Exposure to multiple brands and stakeholders in the Netherlands and EU Dealership
A key user position in SAP with real influence on how we work in Finance and how we standardize processes
Hybrid working, an informal culture and room for personal development
