Job description

At Your.World , strategic growth and value creation are central to an ambitious buy-and-build strategy. As (Senior) Group Controller, you will shape and own the group-wide planning & control cycle, translating complex financial data into clear insights that drive decisions at the highest level of the organization.

Your.World is a leading investor in online solution businesses across Europe and North America, operating through two groups: Your.Online and Your.Cloud. With over 90 acquisitions and €650 million in revenue, the model is decentralized by design: local businesses operate with autonomy, backed by strong central expertise and long-term capital.

Your work will ensure that financial performance is measured, communicated, and understood, from group leadership to boards, shareholders, and lenders.

The role in our strategy

Your.World operates a decentralized model: local companies retain operational autonomy, while the group provides expertise, structure, and capital. Financial planning and control is critical to this approach, enabling consistent performance management, strategic accountability, and board-level confidence as the organization scales.

You will operate at Your.World group level, embedded in the Your.Online FP&A team, contributing directly to strategic decision-making and performance management, particularly as the organization prepares for potential IPO readiness.

In this role, you will:

• Own and manage the group planning & control cycle, from budgeting and forecasting to board-level reporting.
• Deliver high-quality financial insights that enable leadership to steer performance with clarity and confidence.
• Build the narrative around financial results, translating numbers into strategy.
• Support the preparation for a potential IPO through robust processes and stakeholder-ready reporting.
• Drive standardization and automation across reporting, including AI-driven improvements.

This is a high-impact finance leadership role with direct influence on performance, strategy, and long-term value creation.

Your key responsibilities

• Planning & Control: Own and manage the group-wide budgeting, forecasting, and performance management cycle, ensuring alignment across segments and finance teams.
• Reporting & Insights: Deliver high-quality monthly reports, quarterly rolling forecasts, and Supervisory Board and lender reporting, supported by a clear and compelling narrative.
• Stakeholder Management: Act as a key finance partner to the CFO, FP&A & BI Director, Segment Finance Directors, and boards, ensuring timely, accurate, and board-standard deliverables.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve reporting quality, automation, and data reliability, including the implementation of AI-driven solutions.
• Strategic Projects: Support ad-hoc analysis and preparation for a potential IPO, contributing to decisions that shape the group’s future.

Success in the first year

• Robust planning & control cycle: Full ownership of the group cycle, with budgets, forecasts, and performance reviews delivered on time and to board standard.
• High-quality reporting: Reliable monthly reports, rolling forecasts, and Supervisory Board and lender reporting, underpinned by a clear narrative.
• Standardization & automation: Measurable improvements in data quality and reporting processes, including first AI-driven enhancements.

Your profile

• Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Business Administration.
• 8–10+ years of relevant experience, preferably in an international or listed environment.
• Strong background in FP&A, reporting, and performance management.
• Proven ability to engage at CFO and board level with confidence and credibility.
• Analytical mindset combined with strong business acumen and a talent for financial storytelling.
• Detail-oriented, structured, and delivery-focused, with a proactive and ownership-driven attitude.
• Fluent in English and Dutch.

What we offer

• Strategic impact: A high-visibility role with direct exposure to group leadership, boards, and strategic decision-making.
• Ownership: The opportunity to shape the finance control function within a fast-growing, PE-backed international group.
• Professional growth: Development opportunities within Your.World, including exposure to M&A, IPO readiness, and segment leadership.
• Hybrid working: Based in Amsterdam, with flexibility to optimize productivity and collaboration.
• Competitive compensation: Salary, performance bonus, and secondary benefits aligned with your experience and contribution.
