Financial Controller

We are looking for a Financial Controller to lead the operational and analytical work behind our monthly close, group consolidation, project controlling and control environment of a fast-growing energy trading and technology group – and to rebuild them AI-first, so our numbers are faster, more reliable and ready for scale.

Why this role matters

Hybrid Greentech is scaling fast as a VPP, BRP and electricity retailer across Denmark, and Northern Europe. Energy trading means large and volatile daily revenue, cost and cash transactions – so quality , accuracy and liquidity control are not back-office topics; they decide how fast we can grow. This role exists to give management, the board and investors numbers they can trust, on time, and to build controls and automation that scale with the business rather than with headcount. The same discipline is needed in our consultancy arm, where technical consultants deliver advisory and EPC management projects: clear project economics, timely invoicing and early warning when a project drifts.

The role

As Financial Controller, you report to our Finance Manager and work closely with the CFO and our accountant in a small, hands-on finance team. You lead the operational and analytical work within the financial steering, reporting and finance and business analytics; running the month-end close, the consolidation of our group entities in Denmark and abroad, balance sheet reconciliations, project controlling and the day-to-day operation of our internal controls. This is an individual contributor role with high ownership and direct visibility towards management.

You will work in close collaboration with our settlement team, project managers and business owners to ensure adequate financial steering and reporting, partner with our accountant on more complex accounting topics, and work across trading, portfolio management, commercial and engineering. We are a tech-first company with high AI adoption, and we expect you to work that way too: AI tools, scripting and automation are your default approach to removing manual work from close, reconciliation and reporting – combined with the judgement to know when a number needs a human review.

**What you will do

**

• Lead and execute the monthly close and group consolidation, including account mapping, intercompany eliminations, reconciliations and variance analysis, and prepare the monthly financial and business review for the CFO, management and the board.
• Set up and run project controlling – project budgets, hours and utilisation, work in progress, milestone and fixed-fee revenue recognition and timely invoicing – giving project managers and business owners clear steering on margin, estimate-to-complete and cash.
• Automate and rebuild our reporting flow – from ERP trial balances to consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow – using AI tools, scripting and data pipelines, replacing manual spreadsheet steps with controlled, repeatable and documented processes.
• Operate and strengthen our internal controls within the framework set by the Finance Manager, including segregation of duties, payment and bank authorisations and documented business procedures, and drive follow-up on auditor recommendations.
• In close collaboration with Settlement, ensure trading-related balances – settlement, imbalance costs, customer prepayments and deposits, and collateral posted to TSOs, DSOs and exchanges – are correctly recognized, invoiced and reconciled
• Support cash and liquidity forecasting and management with the Finance Manager and CFO, including rolling cash forecasts, collateral and trading risk capital tracking, and early warning on cash exposure.
• Prepare and analyse the annual budget and monthly forecast updates for the Finance Manager and CFO, maintaining our driver-based budget model and following up on budget-versus-actual deviations with business owners.
• Handle key accounting areas such as revenue recognition and accruals, capitalisation of development projects, grant periodisation and month-end cost accruals, collaborating with our accountant on more complex accounting topics.
• Support in the year-end close and audit for all group entities, including annual reports, tax specifications and intercompany agreements, in close collaboration with Finance Manager and our external auditors.
• Work closely with our Settlement team and business owners to ensure adequate financial steering and reporting – turning data into insight on gross profit by revenue stream, cost of execution and unit economics, and building dashboards that let the business self-serve.
