Financial Controller

Financial Controller - Antwerp - Move from Audit to Industry

Is your CV ready If so, and you are confident this is the role for you, make sure to apply asap.

Are you currently working in Audit and starting to think about your next move?

I’m working with a listed international real estate group that is looking for a Financial Controller to join its Belgian finance team in Antwerp.

This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone coming from Big 4 or another leading audit firm who wants to make a natural move into industry and take genuine ownership of the numbers.

You’ll leverage your experience in IFRS, financial reporting and year-end processes, while gaining much broader exposure to the business across:

• IFRS quarterly and annual reporting
• Financial controlling of a €1.3bn+ property portfolio
• Budgeting, forecasting and profitability analysis
• Working closely with senior Finance and Property stakeholders
• Acting as the key contact for external auditors
• Yardi ERP, finance optimisation and AI projects

The biggest attraction? You’re moving from reviewing the numbers to actually owning them.

You’ll join a small, high-performing finance team, giving you real autonomy, visibility and the opportunity to develop beyond the traditional audit environment.

The profile we’re looking for:

• 4–6 years of experience in Audit, ideally within a Big 4 or leading audit firm
• Strong knowledge of IFRS and financial reporting
• Experience with year-end/quarterly close processes
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Exposure to budgeting and forecasting is a plus
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive, hands-on mindset with the ambition to take ownership
• Real estate experience is not required
• Dutch fluency required

If you’re an auditor with a strong technical foundation and are ready to make your first move into industry, this could be a very strong next step.
