What makes the role so great?

As Business Controller, you are the financial sparring partner of the founders. You look beyond the numbers: you independently spot risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities early, and act on them. You ensure the company stays financially sound while continuing to scale.

This is not a role where tasks are handed to you or problems are clearly defined. You are expected to see what’s needed, take ownership and act. Your role is forward-looking, analytical and cross-functional: connecting finance with the business and taking ownership where things need attention. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys responsibility, variety, and impact in a fast-growing scale‑up.

What will you do?

• Act as financial sparring partner to the founders
• Create clear insights into company performance and cash flow through analysis and reporting
• Proactively spot and solve inefficiencies, risks, and things that “don’t feel right”
• Identify recurring issues and bottlenecks across systems and processes
• Collaborate with development and other teams to resolve issues impacting business performance
• Work closely with the financial controller on reporting, P&L and month‑end insights
• Take ownership of compliance and internal controls
• Coordinate with external parties such as accountants, auditors, lawyers and advisors
• Improve financial processes, reporting and tooling as the company scales
• Step in on adjacent topics when needed, with the goal of unburdening the founders

What will you bring?

• Residency in The Netherlands
• 5+ years of experience in business controlling, finance management or similar roles
• Strong analytical skills combined with a pragmatic, hands‑on mindset
• Strong organizational skills and a high sense of ownership
• Fluency in English (Dutch is a plus)
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business or similar

Who are you?

• Hands‑on and proactive: you don’t wait, you act
• Ownership‑driven: you take ownership beyond defined responsibilities
• Detail‑oriented: you notice what others miss and act on it early
• Entrepreneurial: you enjoy improving processes rather than maintaining the status quo
• Business‑minded: you understand how decisions impact growth and challenge them if needed
• Process- and system‑oriented: you translate business needs into clear workflows, and scalable improvements

What can you expect from us?

• Opportunity for significant and visible impact at leadership level
• High degree of autonomy and trust
• Freedom to improve, optimize, and shape finance and control your way
• Competitive salary based on experience + performance-based bonus potential
• Pension plan
• Lunch and snacks provided
• Complimentary ClassPass subscription
• A young, friendly, ambitious, international team across Amsterdam, Athens and London

This is a full‑time job (40H/week) based in Amsterdam and is available as soon as possible.

At Experiencegift, you’ll work in a scale‑up culture where everything you do matters. From our office in the center of Amsterdam, you’ll have the freedom to experiment, take ownership, and truly make an impact. You’ll be part of an international, award‑winning team and gain experience in a fast‑growing tech scale‑up.
