• Perform monthly reconciliations between CFIN and our consolidation system to ensure the completeness, accuracy and integrity of financial data.

• Support finance master data needs related to new legal entities, trading partners, reporting requirements and acquisitions.
  

What will make you successful

We are looking for someone who is not only interested in finance, but also willing to understand how finance processes connect with systems, data and business decisions.

You will be successful in this role if you take ownership of your responsibilities, follow up until topics are closed and communicate clearly when something is blocked or unclear.

We value people who are proactive, reliable, responsible, curious, and accountable. We want someone who does not just complete tasks, but understands the purpose behind them and treats the process as if it were their own.
