Description
We are looking for a highly analytical and systems-oriented FP&A professional to join our Finance team in Amsterdam. This role goes beyond traditional planning and reporting: you will combine deep FP&A expertise with the ability to design and operate data and AI-driven finance workflows.
You will play a key role in planning, forecasting, and reporting, while also transforming how Finance leverages data, automation, and AI to deliver scalable, high-quality insights across the business. This is a builder role for someone who wants to shape the future of FP&A, not just operate within existing processes.
What you’ll do
- Own and contribute to periodic forecasts and multi-year financial plans.
- Build, maintain, and refine financial models to support business initiatives, operational decisions, and investment cases.
- Deliver timely, accurate, and insightful monthly, quarterly, and annual reports.
- Analyze financial performance against plan/forecast, identify trends, and deliver actionable insights to leadership.
- Track and report key KPIs to (Senior) Management and Business Leaders.
- Transition reporting and analysis from Excel-based workflows to modern data platforms and BI tools.
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure transparency on costs and financial performance.
- Act as a Finance Business Partner, providing analysis and decision support to senior leadership.
- Translate business questions into structured analytical and data problems.
- Partner with data and engineering teams to ensure scalable and reliable data pipelines.
- Design and manage AI-assisted workflows across forecasting, reporting, and analysis.
- Structure financial and operational data to enable effective use of AI tools and agents.
- Act as a “human-in-the-loop” operator, validating and improving AI-generated outputs.
- Evaluate and implement new AI tools, ensuring alignment with finance processes.
- Support data quality initiatives and the evolution of FP&A into a more data-driven and technology-enabled function.
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Data Analytics, or related field.
- 8+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, business controlling, corporate finance, or management consulting, ideally in Financial Services, FinTech, or Technology.
- Strong analytical, data, and financial modeling skills, with a track record of turning data into actionable insights.
- Advanced hands-on experience with SQL, Python, Databricks (or similar platforms), and Excel.
- Experience using AI tools to automate analysis and reporting workflows, including structuring prompts, workflows, and agents to solve FP&A challenges.
- Experience working with ERP systems (e.g., Oracle, SAP, NetSuite) and preferably with BPM tooling (e.g. planning and forecasting platforms)
- Strong business acumen with the ability to partner effectively across functions and influence senior stakeholders.
- Self-starter with a structured, proactive, and collaborative approach.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
