Controller

Milestone Systems is strengthening our Group Finance function to support continued growth, evolving revenue models, and increased reporting requirements. To support this development, we are looking for a Group Financial Controller with strong competencies in group reporting, IFRS, ÅRL and a particular interest in revenue recognition.

About the Role
You will be part of Group Accounting, Tax & Treasury, reporting to Director, Group Accounting, Tax & Treasury, Nikolai Borup. The team manages consolidation, group reporting and financial process governance across more than 30 global entities.

The role includes close collaboration with two other Group Financial Controllers, colleagues across Business Controlling, FP&A, Revenue Operations, Order Management, and local entity finance teams—all with the goal of ensuring accurate and consistent reporting across the Milestone Group.

Your main focus will be core group financial controlling and revenue recognition, accompanied by a small and well-defined set of tasks supporting Milestone’s financial control environment.

Key Responsibilities
Core Group Financial Controlling & Reporting

• Drive and support monthly, quarterly, and annual closing activities, including consolidation, eliminations, group adjustments, and alignment with accounting policies across all Milestone entities.
• Prepare and contribute to reporting to Parent company, support internal management reporting, and ensure coherence between internal insights and the external Annual Report.
• Support local finance teams on accounting and reporting topics, ensuring high-quality and consistent financial data across the group.
• Act as a key point of contact for auditors within your areas of responsibility and provide timely documentation and explanations.
  

Revenue Recognition & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as a resource on IFRS 15, supporting consistent revenue recognition across Milestone’s revenue streams and preparing technical assessments.
• Build a solid understanding of current and emerging business models and translate these into practical revenue accounting conclusions.
• Serve as the lead on system support for revenue recognition, ensuring ERP and related systems are correctly configured to handle revenue models and revenue-specific functionality.
• Collaborate closely with Revenue Operations, IT, Order Management, and commercial teams to align processes, system logic, and data flows that support accurate and compliant revenue accounting.
  

Support to Finance Improvements & Light Internal Control
In addition to your core responsibilities, you may support ongoing improvements such as:

• Improvements to consolidation and reporting structures.
• Adjustments tied to the consolidation setup.
• Collaboration on strengthening the functional P/L.
• Supporting IFRS alignment efforts driven by our parent company.
• Execute a limited number of close-process and revenue-related control activities, and support testing efforts to ensure appropriate control coverage for processes impacting revenue.
• Collaborate with colleagues to maintain a healthy and well-documented control environment, while ensuring internal control responsibilities remain practical and proportionate.

These activities are integrated into the normal work of the finance organization and are not treated as major standalone projects.

Your Profile
Professional Qualifications

• Master’s degree in auditing, accounting or finance (e.g., cand.merc.aud, MSc, HD(R)).
• 4–8 years of experience from auditing or a financial controlling role in an international company.
• Solid IFRS & ÅRL understanding and interest in deepening knowledge of revenue recognition.
• Experience with consolidation, group reporting, and periodic financial closing cycles.
• Some familiarity with internal controls or financial close procedures is a plus, but not a core requirement.

Personal Competencies

• Structured, reliable, and comfortable working with recurring controlling cycles and deadlines.
• Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail and accuracy.
• Clear and effective communicator able to translate technical accounting topics for different stakeholders.
• Collaborative team player who builds strong working relationships across Finance and the wider organization.
• Interest in the system and data side of revenue recognition with an end-to-end process mindset, connecting commercial activities, data flows, and accounting outcomes.
  

What We Offer

• A central position in Group Finance with clear ownership of financial controlling and revenue recognition areas.
• Strong collaboration across the finance organization and exposure to a wide range of finance disciplines.
• Opportunities for professional development within IFRS and group reporting.
• A positive, international work environment built on Milestone’s “People First” culture.
• An active employee association offering a great variety of active and social events each month
• Competitive salary and benefits.
