At Royal Van Lent Shipyard, we build superyachts under the Feadship flag. These yachts are among the most exclusive in the world. These yachts are technically very complex and demand craftsmanship at the highest level. Each yacht is unique and completely custom-designed and built. Behind those exceptional projects stands an organization in which financial control, reliable management information, and grip on processes are essential.

As a Financial Controller, you play an important role in this. You are responsible for reliable financial reporting, a solid administrative organization, and effective internal control. In doing so, you look beyond the numbers alone. You fathom financial processes, signal risks, ask critical questions, and ensure that improvements are actually realized.
