Reach your full potential as a Junior Business Controller

As a Junior Business Controller, you will be part of our Finance team, consisting of a Finance Director, six controllers, and seven administrators. You will report directly to the Senior Controller and work closely with colleagues from Sales and Commercial departments.

Your journey starts with mastering the fundamentals of our financial administration and systems, including processing purchase invoices, managing cash and bank transactions, and checking goods invoices and payment flows.

Before long, you’ll grow into a fully-fledged controller, playing a key role in supporting our commercial and management teams. You’ll work closely with other controllers and help provide valuable financial insights. Your monthly figures and reports will be essential for strategic decision-making and optimising our business operations.

What else will you do?

• Prepare weekly and monthly management reports, including forecasting and budgeting
• Handle the month-end and year-end closing for assigned locations and entities, ensuring accuracy and completeness of Balance Sheet & P&L
• Analyse financial results and identify patterns
• Ensure correct invoicing and registration of purchasing agreements with suppliers
• Provide ad hoc support to Senior Controllers on various business cases
