Our client, an international food FMCG business, is looking for a Senior Finance Controller DACH, reporting into the Finance Director for a fixed-term contract as the business goes through a period of change.

The role sits at the centre of the region’s financial processes. You will own statutory accounting, tax, month end close and treasury, along with the balance sheets for the DACH and Nordics entities. External audit and statutory reporting sit with you, as do net working capital and cash flow management. Transactional accounting is handled by shared service centres, so a real part of the job is managing those teams and the outsourcing partners covering payroll and expenses, and making sure what comes back is right. You will also be responsible for shaping the internal control framework across the region, and there’s a project management element on top of that. It’s a broad span of control with genuine exposure to the commercial business.
