Are you a detail-oriented finance professional who enjoys working with numbers and improving processes? For Fashion Connections, we are looking for a Financial Controller who plays a key role within the finance team.

In this position, you will not only ensure accurate financial administration but also contribute to further professionalizing processes and reporting. You’ll join a stable, growing organization with room for development and ownership.

What will you do as a Financial Controller?

As a Financial Controller at Fashion Connections, you play an important role within the finance team. You are not only responsible for accurate financial records, but also bring a structured and detail-oriented way of working that ensures everything runs smoothly and reliably.

You naturally take ownership of your work, approach tasks independently, and enjoy diving into the numbers. With your analytical mindset, you are able to spot discrepancies, identify improvements, and translate data into clear insights. At the same time, you work closely with colleagues across departments and contribute to a collaborative and proactive team environment.

This is a Financial Controller position with strong development potential towards a senior or more strategic controlling role.

Your day-to-day responsibilities include:

  • Managing day-to-day financial accounting
  • Reviewing, coding, and posting incoming and outgoing invoices
  • Handling and monitoring payment processes
  • Reconciling accounts and analyzing discrepancies
  • Supporting month-, quarter-, and year-end closings
  • Preparing reports, analyses, and financial overviews
  • Collaborating with accountants, auditors, and internal stakeholders

As you grow in the role, you will gain more responsibility in reporting, analysis, and process optimization, becoming an increasingly important business partner.

What do we offer?

  • Salary around €45,000 per year (full-time)
  • 30 days of annual leave
  • Flexible working hours (38.5 hours/week)
  • Hybrid working options (after onboarding)
  • A stable role in a growing organization
  • Responsibility and variety in your work
  • Opportunities for professional and personal development
  • Informal culture with short communication lines
  • Pension scheme / financial benefits
  • Free fruit, coffee, tea, and more

What do you bring as a Financial Controller?

  • Degree or vocational training in finance, accounting, or business
  • Experience in financial accounting or a similar role
  • Solid knowledge of accounting principles
  • Experience with accounting software (Navision is a plus) and Excel

A Random Thursday at our CR team

You start your day by getting a nice cup of coffee.

Followed by an online Global CR teams meeting whereby you give an update about HAG and we share knowledge and project updates with each other from all over the world.

You walk around the Belt Factory and have a chat with Titus, the Factory Manager, about the status.

Then you can join a lunch, with lots of nice food, in the canteen with a scenic view over the factory.

After lunch and a short stroll, you meet up with the Buying Manager and your manager, to discuss the status of certifications at the factories and materials.

Finally you sit down in front of your laptop and support your colleagues and customers with their questions on CR Compliance and Sustainability. You also do your weekly administration check and send a few emails to your colleagues in Bangladesh and China to get information about certifications of factories or ask about the status of certain issues in the factories which you need to communicate to a customer. Lastly, you check a customer CR manual and make sure that the ones involved at HAG are up-to-date.

At the end of your dynamic day, you are ready to enjoy a 'borrel' with your HAG colleagues or a HVEG Group party at a cool location.

A Random day as a logistic employee

As a logistics employee, I start the day with a meeting where we go over the tasks for the day, making sure everyone is ready to get started. 

I then begin by carefully processing the returns. After handling the returns, it’s time for a relaxed coffee break with the whole team. 

Next, I start picking and scanning orders for both B2B and B2C customers, ensuring everything is handled correctly and accurately. 

In between, there’s time for a shared lunch to catch up with my colleagues. 
Towards the end of the day, we get all the packages ready for shipment and make sure everything is neatly tidied up together. 

This way, we wrap up the day on a good note and are ready to start the next day with fresh energy and a smile.
