Full Job Description
Hi, we’re Ace & Tate – and yes, we make glasses. But more than that, we make working here worth your while. We are looking for a RA Financial Controller at our Amsterdam HQ, 32-40 hours. Our finance function is in full transformation mode : moving from a reporting back-office to a team that's properly embedded in how the business runs. We've just migrated to a new ERP, Odoo, and now the real work begins. A lot is still being built, and a lot is still a blank canvas. That's the opportunity and chance to be a part of something meaningful. We're looking for someone who gets a kick out of designing processes from scratch , improving what isn't working yet, and shaping the way finance operates for the long run. You'll join a young, energetic team that's ambitious and still figuring it out together. If you want a role where you can grow fast, take ownership early, and bring others up with you, keep reading. What our Financial Controllers do * Redesign how finance works. Take processes that need rebuilding (or building for the first time) and make them properly yours — close, controls, reporting, the lot. * Make the ERP earn its keep. We've migrated; now we need to get real value out of it. Streamline, automate, integrate. * Partner with Business Control to embed finance in the business. Together, you'll move us from reporting on the business to working with it — supporting decisions, business cases, and transactions. * Own the close and statutory reporting. Monthly and year-end close, annual accounts, and audit coordination across key European markets (NL, Germany, Belgium, UK, and Spain). * Tackle the technical stuff. Transfer pricing, intercompany, purchase price allocation, internal controls, asset impairment assessments. * Bring the team up. Coach and develop more junior colleagues — a real part of the role, not an afterthought. You have * Dutch RA qualified or close to completion. This is a non-negotiable. Candidates with only ACCA, CPA, CA, or DipIFR qualifications
