Business Controller to FirstVet
We’re hiring a Business Controller! Drive budgeting, forecasting, and performance insights. Join FirstVet and help steer the growth of a fast-moving, pet-focused health tech company.
Join us in changing how pet care is provided worldwide!
FirstVet’s mission is to radically improve the way pet owners navigate care for their furry loved ones. We break down friction in the pet care continuum by making affordable, on-demand vet care accessible by allowing pet owners to instantly connect with licensed veterinarians via their smart devices. Our solution contributes to a more balanced and better functioning care process for all parties.
We’re looking for a proactive and analytical Business Controller to join FirstVet’s finance team. In this role, you will take ownership of our budgeting and forecasting processes, provide data-driven insights, and work closely with stakeholders across the organisation to support strategic decision-making. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining numbers with business impact, thrives in a dynamic environment, and wants to contribute to the growth of a global scale-up.
Your Responsibilities:
· Lead and develop our budgeting and forecasting processes
· Analyse business performance and provide insights to support strategic decisions
· Build, improve, and maintain pricing, cost, and marketing models as well as key KPIs
· Drive the preparation of quarterly and shareholder reports, as well as other key internal and external financial reporting
· Support management with ad hoc analysis and projects
· Collaborate with accounting to ensure accurate reporting and financial alignment
· Drive the continuous improvement of financial models, mainly in Excel and Google Sheets. Experience with Abacum is an advantage.
Who we are:
We are a young and fast-growing start-up, working passionately to build a high-quality service and an expansive global company. We value personal qualities at least as much as background and experiences. We put a lot of effort into building a trusting culture where we collaborate to achieve our high goals and have fun together, yet in a professional environment. We know the importance of talking about our mistakes to learn from them. By doing so we constantly develop as individuals, as a team as well as a company.
Desired Qualifications:
· Relevant university degree within business or finance.
· 2+ years of working experience, preferably from an analytical position in-house or consultancy company.
· Proven experience in business controlling, including forecasting and budgeting
· Strong analytical mindset with the ability to work independently
· Excellent Excel skills; experience with Abacum is a plus
· Solid understanding of accounting principles (but no need to be an accountant)
· Comfortable working cross-functionally and building strong relationships with stakeholders
· Confident, self-driven, and unafraid to challenge assumptions or take initiative
· Experience from e-commerce or tech-driven scale-ups is considered a strong plus
We’re a pet-orientated organization and it’s not unusual for a dog or cat to join our meetings! So, if you want to take part in changing how pet care is provided worldwide – FirstVet might be the right place for you!
