Are you an experienced finance professional who enjoys working closely with the business? Combine leadership, forecasting, analysis and process improvements while helping the CFO develop the finance function of a technical family business in Aalsmeer.
About the organisation
You join a technical family business with approximately 250 employees. Much of its work is project-based, in a market where financial control and forward planning are increasingly important.
The culture is practical and down-to-earth, with short communication lines. Finance works closely with daily operations and the people behind the figures. There is room to professionalise processes, strengthen financial performance management and support the business with reliable information.

You report directly to the CFO and lead a finance team of four colleagues, linking Finance with the operational organisation.
You maintain a strong financial foundation while focusing on budgets, forecasts, project analysis, results, cash flow and liquidity. Working closely with business unit managers, you turn figures into insights that help them manage performance.

What you bring
- Extensive relevant finance experience, for example as Finance Manager, Head of Finance, Senior Controller or Business Controller.
- Experience leading or coaching a finance team.
- A solid accounting and financial control background.
- Experience with budgeting, forecasting and management information.
- Knowledge of cash flow and liquidity planning.
- The ability to explain financial figures clearly to colleagues outside Finance.
