Reach your full potential as a Junior Business Controller
As a Junior Business Controller, you are the go-to person for our commercial departments. You will be working in the Finance Team for our Liquor business, a team consisting of 7 controllers and 5 FA employees, and you will report directly to the Senior Controller.

In your first weeks, you will start with the basics to get a good understanding of the administration and the system: processing purchase invoices, managing cash and bank transactions, and checking goods invoices and payment flows. You will quickly develop into an advisor for our commercial and management teams.

You will work closely with the Senior Controller and play a crucial role in providing insights into financial performance. You will be responsible for preparing management reports and developing and monitoring the budget. These activities are essential for making strategic decisions and optimizing our business operations.

• Prepare weekly and monthly management reports

• Act as a sparring partner for management and the business
