About Public Segment

One of the critical pillars of Visma’s success over the past 20 years has been tight financial control. The finance function in Visma consists of controllers at many levels of the organisation, who with professional integrity, guard our reporting regime so that our financial figures are correct, timely and usable. As a value-add to the basic financials, this function maintains and improves datasets from financial statements, invoicing data, customer data and market data, to calculate likely and unlikely outcomes of our strategic choices, and is our bullshit filter for our strategic and tactical decisions.

The Public segment in the Visma group is currently responsible for about 650MEUR revenue, mostly in the Nordic countries and in the Netherlands. Currently about 50 legal units are consolidated into this segment. Our mission is to help societies deliver their services by providing state of the art software for municipalities, schools, governments and (healthcare) organisations.

The FP&A Manager for the Public segment joins a team of two finance colleagues, and will work closely with the Managing Director of the larger companies in our segment located in Denmark. The role will report to the FP&A director for the Public Segment.
