Assistant Controller

Start your career in Finance within an international software company where development, technology and AI are at the heart of how we work. Have you recently graduated in Finance, Business Economics or Accountancy and are you ready to take your first professional step? Or have you already gained some initial work experience and are looking for an environment where you can continue to learn and grow? For our Accounting & Control team, we are looking for an Assistant Controller who brings a solid foundation in Finance, is eager to learn and is curious about how technology and AI are changing the finance profession. At Ultimo Group , you will work in an international software organisation with approximately 500 colleagues and operations in countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. It is a great environment to start your career and gain experience in Finance within an international context from day one. We do not expect you to know everything already. We are primarily looking for someone with a solid financial foundation, curiosity and the ambition to develop further. And we are happy to invest in that development. We also believe that learning works both ways. Through your studies, internship, graduation project, previous job or personal interests, you may already have explored new technologies, AI tools or different ways of working that we have not yet considered. We value that fresh perspective. So bring your ideas: together, we will explore whether and how we can put them into practice. Your role As an Assistant Controller, you will have a broad role within our Accounting & Control team. You will contribute to financial administration, periodic closings, reporting, treasury and audits, giving you the opportunity to develop a strong understanding of different areas within Finance. You will work alongside experienced colleagues who will support you and help you develop your professional skills. As your knowledge and experience grow, so will your independence and responsibilities. At the same time, Ultimo is looking ahead. AI and automation create many opportunities to make processes more efficient, improve quality and reduce manual work. You will have the opportunity to actively contribute to this. You do not need to be an AI expert – curiosity and a willingness to experiment are much more important to us. What will you do? Within Accounting & Control , you will support activities including: monthly, quarterly and year-end closings; reviewing and processing financial data; preparing balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules; identifying and following up on discrepancies in the financial administration; intercompany reconciliations between our international entities; improving and further automating financial processes and internal controls. Within Audit & Compliance , you will support external audits, prepare audit documentation and assist with CBS filings,…
