Role Overview / Summary

Global Controlling Business Services (GCBS) produces the data foundation for the reporting of the cbs Group and ensures that it feeds into the reports accurately, consistently and traceably. In this role you prepare the recurring reports and produce the evaluations and analyses requested by the Financial Business Partners, Project Controlling, Consolidation and the other Controlling functions. The focus of the role is the reliable and on-time delivery of these reports and analyses. Beyond that, there is explicit room to question processes and results, to contribute your own ideas and to develop the reporting further on a continuous basis.

Initially, the role also covers supporting Finance tasks for the APAC region; as the Finance organization is built up further, these tasks are intended to transfer to the Finance function in the medium term. The position offers a development path towards a Financial Business Partner role.

Key accountabilities and related performance indicators

• Updating and quality-assuring the recurring reports of the Group.

• Preparing the report packages and management presentations in the Group reporting standard.

• Delivering special evaluations and ad-hoc analyses and adapting existing reports at the request of the Financial Business Partners, Project Controlling and management.

• Safeguarding data quality and the consistency of the reported figures.

• Developing the reporting further: standardizing, simplifying and automating recurring processes.

• Documenting the reporting processes, mappings and underlying logic.

• Supporting the Finance organisation in the APAC region during the transition phase.

• Contributing to Group Controlling projects beyond the recurring reporting scope."

Job Expertise and Job Impact

• The role requires sound controlling and reporting expertise, strong analytical skills and a confident hand with data.

• For the transition phase, solid Finance know-how is additionally desirable in order to support the APAC region.

• The reliability, timeliness and consistency of the Group's reporting depend on this position, and the figures it produces form the basis for decisions at Group, region, legal entity, practice, business unit and project level.

• By reliably delivering the data foundation, the role enables the Financial Business Partners and the other Controlling functions to concentrate on analysis and steering. This is an individual contributor role without line management responsibility.

Minimum Education / degree requirements

• A completed Bachelor's degree in Finance, Controlling, Accounting, Business Administration or a comparable field is the minimum requirement; a Master's degree is an advantage.
