We are a small high-performing and entrepreneurial team operating in a fast-scaling international environment. Everyone including the CFO operates hands-on and combines operational execution with building and improving.
The Role
As Business Controller you sit at the intersection of finance and commercial operations. Your job is to turn data into insight and insight into action supporting our traders management team and CFO with the analysis models and reports they need to make better decisions.
Your focus is business controlling: performance reporting planning and control cycles scenario modelling and commercial analysis. And because this is Nedstar a small fast-moving company something else matters just as much: a genuine roll-up-your-sleeves attitude. You dont ask whether something is in your job description. If something needs fixing or improving and you can add value you step in. Thats the Nedstar way.
About the role and key responsibilities
What You Will Do
Business partnering & performance reporting
Deliver clear actionable management reports and KPI analyses used by the CFO management team and traders.
Act as a sparring partner supporting management traders and colleagues on financial questions.
Translate trading data into commercial insights: margins deal performance risk exposures and communicate them in a way the business can act on.
Planning forecasting & analysis
Support the full planning and control cycle: budget rolling forecasts and actuals as a true business partner rather than just a reporter.
Build scenario models and sensitivity analyses to support strategic and commercial decision-making.
Contribute to business case development and investment appraisal as opportunities arise.
Stakeholder reporting & collaboration
Prepare management and stakeholder reporting that is structured reliable and decision-ready.
Work closely with Nedstar teams across trading logistics and finance to drive performance and efficiency.
Challenge stakeholders constructively with data and ask the questions others might not.
Monitor and reconcile client balances ensuring accounts are accurate and discrepancies are flagged and resolved promptly.
Tools data & continuous improvement
Proactively build and optimize AI-powered solutions from automating reporting flows to developing new financial models that sharpen how we see the business.
Take a helicopter view: spot where data reporting or processes can be done better and actually do something about it using AI tools to create practical scalable solutions.
Spot gaps and opportunities in data quality reporting flows and process design.
FX risk liquidity and trading company dynamics are topics you will develop familiarity with over time. Prior knowledge is a plus not a requirement.
