Financial Controller

Are you a finance professional who looks beyond just the numbers and is energized by growth? At Opcharge, you’ll work in a rapidly growing organization where you’ll have a direct impact and actively help build a scalable financial structure.

About Opcharge

Opcharge is a fast-growing player in the energy transition and focuses on smart charging solutions for municipalities and businesses. As a young and entrepreneurial organization, Opcharge operates without any ties to the fossil fuel industry and is actively building a future with sustainable mobility.

The organization is in a phase of strong growth, with expansion and growth at the forefront. This creates a dynamic environment where processes are constantly evolving and new opportunities arise quickly. New opportunities and roles are constantly emerging at Opcharge, making this position a solid starting point with clear potential for growth toward more senior and strategic roles in finance.

You’ll be joining the finance team and working closely with the CFO and Head of Finance. The team is small, professional, and responsive. The work environment is entrepreneurial and collaborative; colleagues actively seek each other out, have lunch together, and celebrate achievements through quarterly meetings and informal activities, among other things.

The Position

As a Financial Controller, you are responsible for the entire financial administration and play a central role in further professionalizing the financial organization. You ensure reliable financial data and bring structure to a rapidly changing environment.

In addition, you’ll actively work on improving and automating financial processes. You’ll be able to independently identify bottlenecks and turn them into concrete improvements. As the organization grows and responsibilities shift within the team, you’ll have the opportunity to take on more ownership and further develop your role.

Your responsibilities will include, among other things:

• Preparing and performing month-end closings
• Preparing financial reports and analyses
• Preparing and Compiling the Financial Statements
• Processing and Filing VAT Returns
• Monitoring balance sheet positions and performing controls

• Preparing the Organization for Mandatory Audits
• Actively contribute to the automation of financial processes
• Serve as a key user for financial systems
• Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders

You play an important role in ensuring the financial organization is prepared for the future, especially in light of the upcoming audit requirement and continued growth.

This role is indispensable because, without it, the financial structure would not grow in step with the organization, which would have a direct impact on decision-making and future scalability.
