I’m Alejandro Martínez, an independent Headhunter specialized in finance and operations roles.
I’m currently partnering with a premium international brand in the sporting goods industry, recognized globally for its innovation, design excellence, and high-performance products.
After years being part of a large European group, the company is now entering an exciting new chapter of independence and international growth — including plans to expand its footprint in North America (U.S. and Canada) and strengthen its financial and operational autonomy from its former parent group.
This transition involves setting up new entities, a full ERP migration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and the implementation of new financial reporting and consolidation processes.
We’re looking for a hands‑on, sharp, and business‑minded Financial Controller who will play a key role in this transformation.
Tasks Reporting directly to the CFO, you’ll take ownership of day‑to‑day accounting and financial controlling operations for the group’s subsidiaries in Spain and the U.S., while actively contributing to ERP migration, process improvement, and financial decision‑making.
It’s a hybrid role between accounting and controlling, ideal for someone who enjoys both the analytical and operational sides of finance and wants to grow within a fast‑evolving international structure.
Key Responsibilities
Oversee and validate accounting entries in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, ensuring compliance with Spanish GAAP, IFRS, and U.S. GAAP.
Lead monthly closings and account reconciliations (AP, AR, GL) for Spain and the U.S. entities.
Prepare weekly AP / AR reconciliations, debt and aging reports, ensuring financial visibility at all times.
Support consolidation activities across Spain, U.S., and (future) Canada entities.
Perform variance and profitability analysis by cost centers, product lines, and markets.
Provide clear, well‑structured financial reporting and insights to the CFO for decision‑making.
Assist with budgeting and forecasting, improving accuracy and visibility.
Act as key finance contact for cross‑functional teams (logistics, operations, purchasing).
Contribute to the ERP migration and the setup of new financial processes.
Develop and automate reports and dashboards (Power BI knowledge is a plus).
Requirements
Degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business Administration.
5+ years of experience in accounting / controlling within industrial or product‑based environments (manufacturing, assembly, retail, or distribution).
Strong command of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (mandatory).
Advanced Excel skills — able to present data and insights clearly and fast.
Experience with financial consolidation and multi‑entity reporting.
Analytical, detail‑oriented, and highly autonomous.
Strong communication in English (daily use) and Spanish (working level).
Proactive, solution‑driven, and capable of thriving in a dynamic, hands‑on environment.
Comfortable working under pressure and eager to take ownership and grow.
Benefits
Join a global brand at a pivotal stage of international expansion and independence.
Work side‑by‑side with the CFO, with real visibility and decision‑making impact.
Take ownership of a high‑impact finance transformation project — ERP migration, new processes, and cross‑border consolidation.
Hybrid work model based in Barcelona (near Glòries) :
Monday to Wednesday : on‑site, typically starting between 7:30–8:00 a.m., working around 8 hours per day.
Thursday and Friday : remote, usually from 8:00 a.m. to around 4:00 p.m.
Competitive fixed salary : €30,000–€40,000 base, with a €3‑5k€ increase after 6 months based on performance.
No bonus or additional benefits currently in place yet, but real autonomy, learning, and growth opportunities in a fast‑evolving environment.
