København, Denmark Copenhagen Merchants Group Full time

... it's not because we are spoiled

That we offer 24 weeks of paid maternity and paternity leave, have open access to further education and development, still consider St. Bede's Day as a day off, that Halima regularly spoils us with homemade cookies and rum balls, among other things, should not be your reason for applying for the position of Financial Controller with us.

You should apply for the position with us – Copenhagen Merchants Group – if you are passionate about Financial Controlling and will thrive in a family-owned company that, in addition to recently having introduced a unique digital trading platform for commodities, operates in a dynamic international business environment within physical commodities (grains, corn, biomass, etc.), brokerage, trading, shipping, logistics, production, etc.

Your tasks

You will be involved in both classic and challenging Financial Controller tasks:

  • Compile budgets, monthly reports (including forecasts).
  • Prepare Group consolidated figures for our monthly reporting to owners, boards of directors, and business leads.
  • Assist with the annual report in compliance with Danish GAAP, ESG requirements, and potential migration to IFRS.
  • Improve budget/forecast process (improve efficiency and presentation, increased use of KPIs, reduce overall time to market, ensure cohesive numbers at the group level and sub-structures, etc.).
  • Monitor, identify, and understand deviations within our consolidated accounts.
  • Further enhance our use of our financial reporting tool (Konsolidator) and integration with the underlying ERP platforms (D365FO, NAV, BC).
  • Assist with improving upstream processes.
  • Conduct ad hoc financial analyses, forecasts, etc.

How do we fit with you – and you with us?

The most important thing for us is that you fit well with the finance team and the culture at Copenhagen Merchants Group. So, what characterizes those who thrive with us? First and foremost, you should contribute collegially with yourself. It's important that, despite the fixed tasks that come with the position, you thrive in a dynamic everyday environment that often involves diverse and unforeseen tasks and challenges. We have been growing for many years and continue to do so – so, among other things, you should also enjoy creating structures and processes where they may not exist. Finally, you are solution-oriented and know when it adds value to be pragmatic.

What does success look like for you and your role?

Your family and friends will experience that you are happy and thrive socially in the team and in the organization as a whole. You enjoy your tasks and find that there is a good distribution of recurring and new and challenging tasks. You experience that you get the sparring you need and that you personally and professionally experience development relevant to you and what you want. You know all the corners of finance, so you can take over more tasks from the Finance Manager and act as stand-in and go-to-person when he is travelling or otherwise not available. And last but not least, you are a success when your colleagues feel confident in what comes from your hand.

What you become a part of

In addition to a uniquely flat hierarchical organization with a special corporate culture (having the octopus TW Heart as the 'culture ambassador'), you become part of a 10-person finance team located at the group's headquarters in Nordhavn. At the headquarters, you will have 60 colleagues associated with several of the group's many subsidiaries. You will sit in a modern designed and exclusively renovated warehouse, with a view of the opera and the Mast Crane on Holmen, and if you use public transportation, both Nordhavn S-train station and Orientkaj Metro station are within walking distance of the office. You will report to Kenn, who, with a background as an auditor, has been the Finance Manager since February 2020.

What has shaped you up to where you are today?

You are likely already working as a Financial Controller and have a relevant education in accounting or economics. We won't hide that it's an advantage if you have experience from an international company engaged in trade/trading, transport, or shipping. You are fluent in Danish and English in writing and speech and have a natural flair for IT & data.

What are the downsides?

Of course, we find it a bit difficult to see the downsides. But we know that for some, working in an open office environment may not be ideal. If you live outside Greater Copenhagen and are inconveniently located to the S-train/metro network, transportation to the office might be a challenge. And if you have a strong need to always know your workday when you start, Copenhagen Merchants might not be the right place. But otherwise, we don't see many downsides...

So, what should you do if you're curious for more?

We continuously interview candidates, so please apply sooner rather than later. Feel free to include a brief application or motivation, and we consider it a plus if you're also include a short video presentation of yourself (max. 30 seconds).

If you have questions about the position, the team, the company, or your new manager, feel free to call Kenn Christensen at 39 96 53 10.
