Business Controller

About Zovea

Zovea is a group of companies operating in the animal health sector. We're growing fast, and that growth depends on finance that can keep pace with it. We're looking for someone who treats the numbers like the business runs on them, because it does.

What you'll do

As Business Controller, you won't just work for one company. You'll gain exposure across Zovea's different business models, handle a range of financial challenges, and build a well-rounded skill set in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. You'll turn data into direction, support strategic decisions across the business, and help teams work smarter with the insights you provide.

• Analyze revenue, inventory, and margin development, and translate this into concrete insights for the monthly business reviews
• Look ahead by using data for predictive purchasing, early signaling of shortages, and supporting commercial and operational decisions
• Drive the shift from data to management information, helping the business make proactive, strategic decisions
• Develop and monitor KPIs that steer performance and growth, such as revenue and margin per customer, inventory turnover, and product availability
• Own the budget and forecast process, including scenario analyses, and track financial progress against the strategic plans
• Build consistent management reporting and monitor relevant financial and operational metrics, forming the basis for monthly reviews
• Connect business and finance by translating financial and operational insight into clear, action-oriented management information
• Bring structure to performance management and contribute actively to Zovea's continued growth and professionalization, across current and future labels
• Work on business cases for international expansion, growth of existing labels, and new initiatives

Who you are

• You have a bachelor's degree in a finance or business related field and 5-10 years of experience in a business controller role, ideally in a fast-paced environment
• You have strong analytical skills and advanced Excel knowledge
• You have a sharp eye for numbers, take ownership of your work, and stay detail-oriented and proactive
• Self-directed and self-starting; able to take responsibility, set priorities, and work independently
• Curious and decisive: you ask questions, and are pragmatic and action-oriented
