Direct impact on growth from €20m to €30m+ revenue
Broad leadership role across Finance, Control & Operations

Over onze klant

The company operates in an international retail and FMCG environment, with fresh produce at the heart of its business. From multiple locations in the southern Netherlands, activities include cultivation, sourcing, packaging and export to major retail customers across Europe and selected international markets.

The Dutch operation is part of a larger international group with production and commercial activities worldwide. The business currently generates approximately €20 million in revenue and has clear ambitions to grow beyond €30 million in the coming years.

The culture combines the best of both worlds: the scale and resources of an international group, together with the agility, visibility and entrepreneurial mindset of a local business. Decision-making is fast, communication is direct and responsibilities are clear. The Dutch finance team works closely with colleagues across Southern Europe in accounting, tax, reporting and FP&A.

The Challenge

This is not a traditional Finance Manager role focused purely on accounting and reporting. You will be responsible for the overall financial management of the Dutch entities while acting as a trusted business partner to management.

You will ensure financial control and compliance, improve financial visibility and help the organisation make better commercial and operational decisions. The role sits at the centre of the business. You will work across finance, operations, purchasing and systems, helping the company scale efficiently while maintaining strong financial discipline.

If you enjoy ownership, visibility and responsibility, this role offers all three.
