Are you a finance professional who enjoys looking beyond the numbers?

Do you combine a strong accounting and reporting foundation with the curiosity to understand what drives financial performance? And are you ready to take on a broader international scope in a growing and complex organization?

For one of our clients, a privately owned international pharmaceutical group , MpowerT is looking for a Finance & Reporting Manager to strengthen its Corporate Finance team in Antwerp.

This is not a purely reporting-driven position. You will take ownership of a portfolio of international entities and act as a key finance partner between local Finance Managers and the Corporate Finance organization.

? The opportunity

Our client operates in the pharmaceutical sector, with a strong international footprint, multiple production facilities and activities across numerous countries.

The organization combines a strong entrepreneurial culture with international growth and an increasingly professionalized finance environment. Continued organic growth, acquisitions and investments in operations, systems and people have created the need to further strengthen the Corporate Finance team.

As Finance & Reporting Controller, you will become part of an international finance matrix and work closely with Finance Managers across different countries and legal entities.

You won’t just report the numbers. You’ll challenge them, understand them and help shape the story behind them. ?

? What will you do?

You will take ownership of the financial reporting and review process for a portfolio of Group entities.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Ensuring accurate and timely monthly, quarterly and annual reporting in line with Group accounting policies and IFRS.




- Reviewing P&L; and balance sheet positions and challenging the quality of the reported numbers.
- Working closely with local Finance Managers to identify inconsistencies, follow up on reconciliations and continuously improve reporting quality.
- Analysing financial results and trends and translating them into relevant business insights.
- Supporting and overseeing the budgeting process for your entities.
- Coordinating annual financial audits and working with internal and external auditors.
- Contributing to the further standardization of accounting principles, reporting processes and internal controls across the Group.
- Working closely with Corporate Accounting and Tax on intercompany positions, transfer pricing and compliance.
- Supporting Group-wide finance, reporting, sustainability and other corporate initiatives.
- Contributing to the preparation of IFRS consolidated financial statements and interaction with Group auditors.

In short: you connect local finance with Group Finance and turn financial reporting into meaningful financial insight. ?

? Who are we looking for?

You have built a solid foundation in accounting, audit, controlling or financial reporting and are ready to broaden your impact.

Ideally, you bring:

- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or a related field.
- Around 8years or more of relevant experience in audit, accounting, controlling and/or financial reporting.




- A sound understanding of financial statements and accounting principles; IFRS knowledge is a strong asset.
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to look behind the numbers rather than simply report them.
- The confidence to challenge and interact with Finance Managers and other stakeholders across different countries.
- A hands-on, structured and pragmatic working style.
- The ability to navigate an international, multi-entity and multicultural organization.
- Fluency in Dutch and English is a must
- Experience with ERP and reporting systems is an advantage; knowledge of Dynamics D365, Axapta or IBM Cognos Controller is a plus.

? We are not necessarily looking for someone who has already done every aspect of this role.

A strong audit, accounting or controlling background combined with the ambition to grow into a broader international finance position can be equally relevant.

✨ Why could this be your next step?

Because this position offers the combination of content, exposure and growth.

You will join a stable yet growing international pharmaceutical environment, work across multiple countries and entities and gain exposure to a broad range of finance topics from reporting and IFRS to budgeting, audit, tax, compliance and finance transformation.

At the same time, you will become part of an experienced finance team where there is room to learn, challenge and make your mark.
