From product development to UX design, from technical realization to marketing - we support every aspect needed to build successful platforms.

Our portfolio includes several fast-growing tech and fintech companies, such as Woolsocks — a personal finance app helping people save money, spend smarter, and live more sustainably. By combining our expertise with the drive of our portfolio companies, we build innovative solutions that make finance more accountable, accessible, and human.

With 40+ colleagues across Development, Marketing, BI, Project Management and Support, and €100M committed capital, our growth is rapid. Our ambition is only limited by our imagination — and that’s where you come in.

• Ensure portfolio companies have the liquidity to grow and scale rapidly
• Optimize working capital and manage debt obligations
• Deliver financial insights that directly shape strategic decisions
• Support the Group with VAT filings
• Maintain robust internal controls to safeguard company assets
• Ensure compliance with financial regulations, tax laws, and industry standards

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Business Economics, Accounting, or Controlling
• 2-6+ years of relevant experience as a (Business/Financial) Controller or in Audit
• Strong knowledge of bookkeeping and financial processes
• Organized, detail-oriented, proactive mindset
• Comfortable working in a small, collaborative team
• Excellent verbal and written English and Dutch

• Competitive remuneration package
• Modern office near RAI in Amsterdam, shared with sister companies in our group
• A role combining operational impact and strategic exposure
