Join BDO as a Junior Business Controller and help shape how our Finance Department supports the business. At BDO you’re more than a number: we invest in your wellbeing and development because when you grow, our clients and the firm grow too. Let’s grow together.
What will you be doing?
As a Junior Business Controller you will support the team with practical, high-impact tasks and gradually take on more responsibility:
· Collect, validate and maintain performance data to ensure accuracy and completeness.
· Help prepare budgets, support variance analyses and contribute to short- and medium-term forecasts.
· Monitor KPI’s and produce clear, concise reports and dashboards for stakeholders.
· Assist in month-end closing tasks and basic financial reconciliations.
· Propose simple process improvements to reduce manual work and increase efficiency.
· Present findings and recommendations to your manager and, over time, to wider stakeholders.
· Work closely with senior controllers who will coach and mentor you throughout your development.
What do you bring to the table?
· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business or similar.
· Up to 2 years’ relevant experience (internships, traineeships or first job experience all count).
· Strong Excel skills; familiarity with Power BI or other reporting tools is a plus.
· Good communication skills in Dutch and/or French + English knowledge.
· Curious, pragmatic and organized — you enjoy turning numbers into clear actions.
· Rigorous attention to detail and a desire to learn (you don’t need to know everything yet).
· Proactive and autonomous mindset: you spot opportunities to improve processes and like to get things done.
What do we bring to the table?
· Real responsibility from day one, with structured mentoring and on-the-job coaching.
· A clear development path and access to BDO Academy training (technical and soft skills).
