Job Title: Financial Controller (Exact Online Financial System) Role type: Full-time, Remote Timezone: CET ±2 hour Reports to: CEO Works closely with: Co-founder Marketing, Operations, Tech Lead ***MUST HAVE: Exact Online Financial System proficiency*** ABOUT US We are a premium golf brand founded in Amsterdam in 2020, built by golfers who believed the game deserved better gear. We design our own trolleys, bags, and accessories — a modular ecosystem where every product connects. Dutch design heritage, uncompromising quality, a genuine passion for the game. Five years of building has earned us 30,000+ customers across Europe and a 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating. Now we’re accelerating. Our intelligent electric trolley, launches in 2026. US market expansion follows in 2027. And we’re evolving the brand beyond the course — into new product categories for the design-minded player whose game takes them across cities, countries, and continents. Play anywhere. This is a lean, ambitious team that holds itself to a high standard and moves fast. Joining now means joining at the moment of acceleration — with real ownership, direct impact, and the chance to help build something that’s just getting started. THE ROLE: We are at an inflection point. Revenue is growing, the product portfolio is expanding, a community funding round is live, and US market entry is in planning. The financial function has been carried by a co-founder until now. This role changes that. This is not a back-office accounting role. It requires someone who understands the full DTC business model — from product design and supplier purchasing through to performance marketing metrics and customer lifetime value. The role works in close cooperation with an external accountant who handles the statutory and compliance layer, freeing this role to focus on commercial analysis, cash management, purchasing decisions, and being a genuine financial partner to the business. The role demands both defence and offence. Defence means rigorous cost control, clean books, and accurate forecasting. Offence means actively identifying savings, improving margins, and helping the team make smarter commercial decisions. You’ll be the first dedicated finance hire at a brand hitting its stride — with a direct line to the CEO, a clear path to CFO, and the chance to build the financial infrastructure that supports everything that comes next.
