Group Financial Controller

The Role : Group Financial Controller

Granday Recruitment Associates is happy to workwith is a newly created professional services group operating in Germany and Luxembourg, offering a multidisciplinary platform in tax, legal, advisory, regulatory, and transaction services and valuation.

Founded by experienced advisors and entrepreneurs, the ambition of this group is to build a solid and distinctive platform with a clear ambition: to scale quickly and internationally, while maintaining high standards services.

They are looking to surround themselves with people who combine technical skills, motivation, and personality — and who want to be part of a dynamic and ambitious journey from the very beginning.

This company is looking for a smart, autonomous, and hands‑on Group Financial Controller to join them at the headquarters in Luxembourg, working directly with the Group CFO.

This is not a reporting technician role — it’s a strategic and operational position that requires someone who can understand the business, anticipate what stakeholders need, and design and implement the tools and processes that will support performance, clarity, and growth.

You will be responsible for setting up the finance reporting function of the group, coordinating with both internal teams (including the accountant in Germany) and external partners, and producing accurate and relevant reporting for the investors, partners and business leads.

This is a unique opportunity to build something from scratch and become a cornerstone of a growing and ambitious group.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement the group’s reporting infrastructure, from Excel models to structured dashboards,
• Produce monthly reporting packages for investors, partners and managers: P&L, cash flow, forecasts, and KPIs,
• Coordinate with the accounting functions in Luxembourg and Germany to ensure accurate and timely data,
• Develop business-focused analyses to support decision‑making: cost tracking, project profitability, resource allocation, etc.,
• Translate business complexity into clear and actionable financial reporting,
• Act as a key contact for investors, the CFO, and operational teams — with an ability to understand and adapt to the expectations of each.
