Senior Financial Controller - Real Estate

Pracovní nabídka

About the Role

Hledáme kolegu nebo kolegyni na pozici seniorního finančního controllera do controllingového týmu skupiny DRFG v Brně. Převezmete reporting a finanční procesy našeho mezinárodního portfolia komerčních nemovitostí (nákupní centra, retail parky, kancelářské budovy) ve střední a východní Evropě, v samostatné roli s přímou vazbou na vedení. Protože většina komunikace probíhá v angličtině, pokračujeme v angličtině.

We are looking for an experienced and analytical finance professional to join the DRFG Group controlling team. This is an independent senior role with a direct line to management, in which you will play a crucial part in setting up and standardizing our financial processes across our international commercial real estate portfolio of shopping centres, retail parks and office buildings. You will collaborate closely with outsourced accounting partners and local teams across the CEE region – and potentially other countries as our scope expands – ensuring high-quality financial reporting and cross-border alignment.

Key Responsibilities

• Process Optimization: Design, set up and improve processes for budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting for real estate companies across multiple countries (including Croatia, Poland, Hungary, and potentially others), and evaluate performance against budgets on an ongoing basis.
•  Deep Financial Analysis & Quality Control: Review and control the accuracy and integrity of financial files provided by outsourced accounting firms and regional entities. Analyze and investigate financial data all the way down to the General Ledger (GL) level.
• Reporting & Management Support: Prepare monthly and quarterly reporting, including budget-vs-actual variance analysis – with the ability to trace the root cause, not just quantify the difference – and provide commentary, recommendations and risk identification for management.
• External Vendor Collaboration: Actively communicate with outsourced service providers and local partners in foreign markets to investigate discrepancies, fix errors, and ensure smooth financial operations.
• Continuous Learning: Get familiar with local accounting standards and tax rules in each country.
• Business Travel: Undertake ad hoc travel to our international branches and partners as project needs arise.

What We Are Looking For

• Education & Accounting: University degree in economics or finance and a solid understanding of accounting – you know how the numbers in a report came about.
•  Experience: 3+ years of experience in a similar financial, analytical, or controlling role (additional years of experience are a strong advantage), ideally in a group structure or multi-entity environment.
• Vendor Management: Experience communicating with or managing outsourced service providers is a plus.
• Real Estate Experience: Experience in commercial real estate (e.g., rent rolls, service charges, SPV structures) is an advantage, but not a must.
•  Language Skills: Professional proficiency in English, enabling seamless communication with international partners.
•  Technical Skills: Advanced knowledge of MS Excel, including Power Query, is a must.
•  Soft Skills:
• Independence: Ability to work autonomously, manage your own time, drive tasks forward and defend your conclusions in front of management.
• Initiative in Problem-Solving: A proactive mindset with a strong drive to not just identify issues, but actively propose and implement effective solutions.
• Analytical Thinking: Strong capability to connect the dots and solve complex financial problems.
• Responsibility: A high sense of ownership and uncompromising attention to detail.

What We Offer

• Ownership of your own portfolio of companies and direct contact with group management
• Room to improve controlling processes and tools, not just maintain existing reporting
• Competitive salary matching the scope of the role
• Pleasant working environment in our Brno offices
• 5 weeks of paid leave + 3 sick days + 1 birthday day off
• Meal allowance
• Edenred card contribution
• Multisport card at a discounted rate
• Flexible start and end of working hours
