Based in Horsens

Is your background rooted in a solid foundation of finance, with a strong understanding of accounting principles, workflow processes and financial mechanisms? Do you thrive in a dynamic work environment where priorities can shift quickly, which you approach with adaptability and composure? Are you eager to join an international organization where processes and workflows are being defined these days?

If yes, please read on!

At our office facilities by the harbor edge in Horsens, you will become part of an energetic office community, and a finance team consisting of 17 colleagues looking forward to welcoming you to HAY.

About the job

Within the finance team, we take pride in making numbers accessible and developing processes where new ideas and approaches are always welcomed. At HAY, we blend informality with responsibility, fostering a dynamic, collaborative environment built on new ideas, diversity, and mutual trust. We offer a unique opportunity to shape the company’s future while growing with it.

In this role, you’ll gain valuable insights into the supply chain of a large international organisation with a publicly traded American majority owner. As a key member of the finance team, you’ll support various departments and handle tasks ranging from transfer pricing (TP) to risk assessment.

Your tasks will include:

• Performing internal controls within the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) framework, including updating documentation, monitoring, executing controls, and implementing new processes. You will also support the annual audits
• Participating in various projects focused on business development with growing demands for management and controlling, including financial follow-ups, capex projects, and ad hoc tasks.
• Reporting intercompany transactions (TP), setting up and maintaining allocation keys, internal agreements and pricing policies
• Conducting risk assessments of customers to support business growth, including automating processes
• Handling specific recurring operational tasks, such as calculating and reporting royalties to external designers

Are you the Business Controller we are looking for?

Role expectations

• You are structured, ensuring that ad hoc tasks or periods of recurring duties don’t disrupt your workflow
• You are confident in your decisions and committed to supporting the organization and external stakeholders as a strong, and where needed, humble representative of the finance team
• You navigate various tasks with diplomacy and respect for all parties, regardless of their background or culture
• You are motivated by projects rather than routine operational tasks and excel in such environments
• Change excites you, and you’re ready to dive into the unknown, embracing potential course corrections along the way while working collaboratively toward shared success
   

Experience required

• A solid foundation in accounting from a relevant higher education degree, such as HA/HD
• Experience in controlling or auditing, providing a strong understanding of accounting principles and financial mechanisms
• Proficiency in Excel
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken
• Experience with intercompany transactions, process implementation or internal controls is an advantage but not a requirement
