Without realizing it, you probably already know TenCate. Whether you are on the hockey or football field every weekend, hitting a ball on the golf course or going to the playground with your son or daughter, there is a good chance that when you look down you will see the product of TenCate, the world's largest artificial grass and yarn backing manufacturer. In 2023 TenCate has been acquired by PE firm Leonard Green & Partners and together they will continue their ambitious growth strategy (both organically and through acquisitions). To support this growth and the next phase of professionalization in the United States, the position of Group Controller has been created. In this position, you report to the Director Group Control and will work together in a team at HQ Hoofddorp. Core focus position: Strategic and business related (ad hoc) projects e.g. post-acquisition intergrations, new business models/products in the US Continuous improvement projects e.g. Navision/PowerBI, Group-level analyses and cashflow management for US plants Consolidation (Cognos) and periodic reporting (Board and Shareholder), incl. in depth variance analyses & comments Support, advise and challenge local US (finance) teams on results, process changes and accounting topics Group Control at TenCate has a dual focus: consolidated management reporting on one hand and ad hoc projects, analyses and requests on the other hand. First of all, as a Group Controller you will support the consolidated reporting of all the Group companies. You analyse, and validate the monthly financial results, prepare the monthly reporting pack (for the Board, Crestview, and financial institutions). You monitor main KPI’s, understand and comment on main developments and do trend analyses and benchmarking. To get the story behind the numbers, you proactively seek contact with the Group companies, to understand and challenge them on the results. You provide support to your local (finance) colleagues, for example in process changes or training them on the appropriate treatment of accounting standards (IFRS). You support them with the annual closing, external and internal audit. Furthermore, you are involved in the financial planning process, including the yearly budget and quarterly forecasting process (on entity and Group level). You review and adjust ongoing financial projections based on actual performance vs. forecast and budget. Good to know Secondly, a significant part of your time you will be working on projects, business cases and ad hoc requests. On one hand, these projects are related to strategic decision making. For example the (financial) integration of new acquisitions and support underlying business cases for new products or business models, or requests coming from the CFO. On the other hand, you will focus on process improvements, ranging from setting up the cashflow management process and expanding reports on Group level, to the global implementation of Navision (and eventually PowerBI). Who are you? You are an ambitious, eager and entrepreneurial financial with a strong technical accounting background and excellent stakeholder management. You thrive in an international setting and drive continuous improvement. “Having to deal with so many different Group companies, all with their own product, business model, and organizational structure, means that you need to understand what the companies do and have a high level of adaptivity. It’s important to tailor your approach accordingly. For example, for one company you will have a reviewing role towards the local Controller, while for the other company you have to support the local MD in the periodic reporting cycle and support his business decisions. Although being a carve-out from a corporate, our culture is very entrepreneurial. We have a ”flat” hierarchy and are flexible to quickly react to (business) opportunities. You’ll feel right at home at TenCate when you’re eager to learn new things, willing to roll up your sleeves and get things done.’’ Master’s degree in the field of accounting, finance, economics, preferably supplemented with a Post-Master qualification 4 - 8 years relevant working experience in audit and/or controlling, preferably within an international or complex production and/or project environment Strong communication skills in English, Dutch is a plus Experience with IFRS and group structures, including consolidation procedures is a plus Strong affinity and experience with IT and financial tooling; experience in Cognos, Navision and PowerBI is a plus Self-starter, roll up your sleeves and getting things done mentality You have a strong analytical skillset combined with a hands-on mentality: pragmatic and action-oriented Want to know more?
