• contributing to the development of reporting to the region/Group, ensuring local data aligns with Group-level requirements and timelines,
• preparing ad hoc analyses and reports requested by the Head of Financial Controlling and senior management,
• shaping and improving controlling processes end-to-end, with the autonomy to develop and implement your own ideas and solutions that drive better data quality, efficiency, and reporting,
• preparing cash flow forecasts and optimizing working capital.

Your profile:

• 3+ years of experience in financial controlling, FP&A, or a similar analytical finance role,
• proven experience in services/project controlling - e.g., profitability, utilization, or margin analysis in a services, consulting, or IT environment,
• advanced proficiency in MS Excel (modeling, complex formulas, pivot tables) and hand-on experience with at least one of the analytical or BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Power Query, SQL),
• strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into clear, actionable insights,
• fluency in English (B2+ or higher); Polish fluency required,
• bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field,
• high attention to detail, ownership, and ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines,
• excellent communication skills,
• ability to work independently and take ownership of tasks, with a proactive approach to identifying issues and proposing solutions,
• open to hybrid work, including regular presence at our Wrocław office (on Tuesdays and Thursdays).

Nice to have:

• experience with financial/ERP systems and knowledge of IFRS, including consolidation principles,
• experience working in an IT services, consulting, or other professional-services business,
