What will you be doing?:

* 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.
