The posting

Job description

Do you have 3 to 7 years of experience in financial analysis, data analysis, business analysis or business controlling, and are you ready for a commercial, impact-driven challenge in a fast-moving trading environment? If so, read further!

We are a small, high-performing and entrepreneurial team operating in a fast-scaling international environment. Everyone, including the CFO, operates hands-on and combines operational execution with building and improving.

The Role

As Business Controller, you sit at the intersection of finance and commercial operations. Your job is to turn data into insight and insight into action, supporting our traders, management team and CFO with the analysis, models and reports they need to make better decisions.

Your focus is business controlling: performance reporting, planning and control cycles, scenario modelling and commercial analysis. And because this is Nedstar — a small, fast-moving company — something else matters just as much: a genuine roll-up-your-sleeves attitude. You don’t ask whether something is in your job description. If something needs fixing or improving and you can add value, you step in. That’s the Nedstar way.

About the role and key responsibilities

What You Will Do

Business partnering & performance reporting

  • Deliver clear, actionable management reports and KPI analyses used by the CFO, management team and traders.
  • Act as a sparring partner supporting management, traders and colleagues on financial questions.
  • Translate trading data into commercial insights: margins, deal performance, risk exposures, and communicate them in a way the business can act on.

Planning, forecasting & analysis

  • Support the full planning and control cycle: budget, rolling forecasts and actuals, as a true business partner rather than just a reporter.
  • Build scenario models and sensitivity analyses to support strategic and commercial decision-making.
  • Contribute to business case development and investment appraisal as opportunities arise.

Stakeholder reporting & collaboration

  • Prepare management and stakeholder reporting that is structured, reliable and decision-ready.
  • Work closely with Nedstar teams across trading, logistics and finance to drive performance and efficiency.
  • Challenge stakeholders constructively with data, and ask the questions others might not.
  • Monitor and reconcile client balances, ensuring accounts are accurate and discrepancies are flagged and resolved promptly.

Tools, data & continuous improvement

  • Proactively build and optimize AI-powered solutions — from automating reporting flows to developing new financial models that sharpen how we see the business.
  • Take a helicopter view: spot where data, reporting or processes can be done better, and actually do something about it — using AI tools to create practical, scalable solutions.
  • Spot gaps and opportunities in data quality, reporting flows and process design.

FX risk, liquidity and trading company dynamics are topics you will develop familiarity with over time. Prior knowledge is a plus, not a requirement.

What we are looking for

Who we are looking for

You bring 3 to 7 years of experience in financial analysis, data analysis, business analysis or business controlling. Whatever your background, the following describes you well:

  • Analytically sharp and comfortable working with numbers and data.
  • Proactive and self-starting: you do not wait to be told what to do.
  • You can translate data into a clear story and communicate it to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Proactive about building and using AI tools to improve, optimize and do things better and faster — you spot where something can be done smarter, and you build the solution, not just flag the problem.
  • You have a helicopter view: you zoom out, see what’s missing or can be improved or optimized, and come back down with a practical solution — using AI.
  • Smart, curious and eager to grow: you want to understand the business, not just the spreadsheet.
  • Comfortable in a small, entrepreneurial, international team where things move quickly.
  • You take ownership, follow through and care about quality.

Fluent English is required. Dutch is a plus.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
