Financial Controller

Are you a proactive financial professional who loves process optimization, system implementations and continuous improvement? Do you thrive in an international, high-tech scaling environment?

At Eternal Sun, we are professionalizing and scaling our financial landscape. As our new Financial Controller, you will lead the month-end closings and annual audit, serve as the lead Key User for our ERP implementation, mentor our finance team members, and act as the direct right hand to the CFO.

With more than 130 colleagues worldwide, at Eternal Sun we create sunlight! We design and manufacture high-end solar simulators that are used in factories that manufacture solar panels. Our customers are the world’s largest solar panel manufacturers and leading R&D laboratories that are rapidly bringing new technical innovations to market. We ensure that they can be confident in what they produce, the quality and precise output of their solar panels. We are precise, resourceful and persistent.

Eternal Sun distinguishes itself through customer-driven innovation, from the outside rather than the other way around, enabling us to deliver customized solutions and follow market innovations faster than others. Solar energy is growing rapidly worldwide and is now even expanding into space! To support our growth and transition away from heavy Excel dependencies, we are currently implementing a new ERP system. You will play a central role in driving this transformation and building a scalable financial foundation.

As Financial Controller, you own the core accounting, consolidation, and reporting processes across all 10 entities (with main focus on NL &DE), working in close synergy with the CFO and guiding the broader finance team.

You are a true “continuous improver”, someone who naturally spots inefficiencies and takes ownership to build smarter, automated solutions.
