The posting

We are seeking a seasoned Head of Financial Controlling / Senior Financial Controller to lead our financial controlling department. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), your primary mandate is to guarantee the absolute reliability, accuracy, and integrity of financial reporting across the group.

While you will oversee Financial Controlling and Treasury—with a strict operational focus on protecting EBITDA and optimizing CASH and NWC —your success will be defined by your ability to establish flawless financial governance, robust internal controls, and zero-error group reporting. You will intensively work in very close collaboration with the Business Controlling department.

As you will collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders across Belgium and France, a professional command of both Dutch and French is essential for this role.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Financial Reporting & Governance Group Financial Reporting: Own the end-to-end preparation, consolidation, and timely delivery of accurate group financial reporting packages, ensuring strict compliance with IFRS/Local GAAP and internal policies. Data Integrity & Controls: Establish, monitor, and enforce rigorous internal control frameworks to ensure the complete accuracy of all financial data. Audit Management: Serve as the primary interface for internal and external auditors, ensuring seamless audit processes and swift resolution of any findings.
  2. Cash Management & EBITDA Control Cash & Treasury Forecasting: Maintain oversight of high-precision short- and long-term cash flow forecasting, working capital metrics, and treasury activities to secure liquidity. EBITDA Oversight: Monitor and report on EBITDA performance with laser focus, conducting granular variance analyses to flag and correct deviations against budget immediately. Process Standardization: Standardize financial and operational KPIs across the group to ensure "one version of the truth."
  3. Departmental Leadership & Forecasting Team Leadership: Manage and mentor the Financial Controlling department, and the Treasury Management & Collection department, instilling a culture of absolute accuracy, detail-orientation, and strict adherence to deadlines. Budgeting & Rolling Forecasts: Oversee the technical execution of the annual budgeting process and rolling forecasts, ensuring all underlying assumptions are thoroughly verified.

Experience & Education

  • Experience: Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in financial controlling, group reporting, or corporate audit within a structured, multi-entity environment. Proven leadership experience is required.
  • Education: Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

Technical Skills & Competencies

  • Uncompromising Precision: A proven track record of delivering flawless financial statements and navigating complex group consolidation structures.
  • Financial Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of accounting standards, internal control frameworks, EBITDA tracking, and cash flow/treasury mechanics.
  • Systems Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in MS Office suite and Power BI. Experience with modern ERP systems, alongside the ability to learn and deploy AI-driven financial tools, is highly valued.

Soft Skills

  • People Development: An outstanding team player who is passionate about mentoring and growing their team.
  • Exceptional Reliability: A methodical approach to work, with an innate commitment to meeting deadlines and maintaining flawless quality standards.
  • Rigor & Skepticism: Strong analytical skills with a healthy professional skepticism; a candidate who double-checks data points and values verification over assumption.
  • Clear Communication: Ability to report clearly, transparently, and directly to the CFO regarding financial variances, risks, and compliance matters.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
