Would you like to step into a Finance Controller role where your tax expertise and reporting skills can truly drive impact? Do you want to work in a fast-paced, international retail environment based in Amsterdam – where speaking up and taking initiative is part of the culture?

Company Overview
Join a well-established multinational group operating at the forefront of the retail industry. With a long-standing reputation for excellence, innovation, and sustainability, the company serves millions of customers across Europe. The headquarters in Amsterdam plays a pivotal role in driving financial strategy and operational performance. The culture is open, collaborative, and performance-driven – encouraging individuals to bring ideas forward and take ownership of their work.

Position Overview
As Finance Controller, you will be part of the core finance team responsible for overseeing financial operations, reporting, and compliance within the Dutch entity. This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on monthly closing, tax, reporting, and audit coordination. The position offers an opportunity to work in a high-impact environment within the retail sector, directly influencing financial decision-making while ensuring operational accuracy and efficiency.

What you will do:
As Finance Controller, you’ll play a key role in the financial performance and reporting for the company’s retail operations in the Netherlands. You’ll be part of a tight-knit finance team based in Amsterdam, where open communication and initiative are strongly encouraged.

Your scope will include:

  • Managing the full month-end close cycle and delivering accurate reporting.
  • Preparing and reviewing the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.
  • Creating analytical reports to support strategic and operational decision-making.
  • Acting as the primary contact for external audits and coordinating audit-related documentation.
  • Handling VAT calculations, tax filings, and reconciliations with a strong understanding of Dutch tax regulations.
  • Driving process improvements and supporting system upgrades, particularly within SAP S/4HANA.

Who you are:

  • You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
  • You bring 4–5 years of experience as a Financial Controller, ideally in a retail or fast-paced international environment.
  • You possess strong tax knowledge, especially VAT, and have worked with external auditors.
  • You are experienced with SAP; exposure to S/4HANA is a major plus.
  • You are fluent in English, speak Dutch at an upper-intermediate level or higher, and French is a big plus.
  • You’re hands-on, detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable in a role where autonomy and input are valued.

Why this opportunity?

  • Be part of a thriving retail industry leader, headquartered in Amsterdam.
  • Work in a people-focused, international team where your ideas and contributions matter.
  • Enjoy a hybrid work model and a company culture that encourages ownership and initiative.
  • Gain exposure to cross-functional collaboration and high-impact projects in a multinational setting.
