Financial Controller - Sporting goods industry

I’m Alejandro Martínez , an independent Headhunter specialized in finance and operations roles.

I’m currently partnering with a premium international brand in the sporting goods industry , recognized globally for its innovation, design excellence, and high-performance products .

After years being part of a large European group, the company is now entering an exciting new chapter of independence and international growth — including plans to expand its footprint in North America (U.S. and Canada) and strengthen its financial and operational autonomy from its former parent group.

This transition involves setting up new entities , a full ERP migration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central , and the implementation of new financial reporting and consolidation processes .

Overview

Reporting directly to the CFO , you’ll take ownership of day-to-day accounting and financial controlling operations for the group’s subsidiaries in Spain and the U.S., while actively contributing to ERP migration, process improvement, and financial decision-making.

It’s a hybrid role between accounting and controlling , ideal for someone who enjoys both the analytical and operational sides of finance and wants to grow within a fast-evolving international structure.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee and validate accounting entries in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central , ensuring compliance with Spanish GAAP, IFRS, and U.S. GAAP .
• Lead monthly closings and account reconciliations ( AP, AR, GL ) for Spain and the U.S. entities.
• Prepare weekly AP / AR reconciliations, debt and aging reports , ensuring financial visibility at all times.
• Support consolidation activities across Spain, U.S., and (future) Canada entities.
• Perform variance and profitability analysis by cost centers, product lines, and markets.
