ABOUT THE ROLE

In the role of Controller, you will be the right hand of the CFO with a primary focus on controlling and business support, where you will drive and develop the company's business controlling function. The business includes inventory, production, logistics with turbo trucks, real estate, currency management, and several geographical units. The role also includes support and development of the finance department's ongoing work, tax reporting, and financial closing/reporting.

You will work in a relatively small group with a family business feel, despite international ownership, which provides short decision-making paths and a great opportunity to influence. The role involves close collaboration with all departments and a clear business-oriented focus.

Main responsibilities/tasks:

• Analysis, follow-up, forecasting, and budgeting work
• Development and enhancement of reports and decision-making materials, e.g., through Power BI
• Support the business through dialogue and collaboration across departmental boundaries
• Be proactive and involved in IT and system-related projects from an accounting perspective
• Drive your own improvement and efficiency projects within finance and IT, including initiatives related to digitization and AI
• Support and participate in the development of the finance department's ongoing work, tax reporting, and financial closing/reporting with the aim of achieving better efficiency and internal control.

The role is suitable for you who want to work broadly, business-oriented, and development-focused in an organization where you have significant responsibility and the opportunity to make a real difference.
