Do you want to kick-start your career in finance at a company that keeps Europe moving? Then you could be the newest addition to
our Group Financial Controlling & Compliance team.
As a Student Assistant, you will support financial closing, controlling, and reporting activities while working closely with
experienced finance professionals. Strong analytical and finance skills are valuable - but if you also have a passion for
automation and finding smarter ways of working, you'll fit right in.
About the role
Be part of the movement - and play your part.
We are currently looking for a dedicated Student Assistant to join our Group Financial Controlling and Compliance team in
Copenhagen. It is a unique opportunity to join a driven team where you can contribute to a range of dynamic activities supporting
DFDS’s external reporting process.
In this role, you will be supporting our monthly closing, controlling and reporting processes. You will be sparring with
stakeholders to understand the drivers behind changes in our financial results. When supporting the publication of DFDS’s annual
report, you will be in contact with important stakeholders not only from the business, but also from treasury, investor relations,
group sustainability and our business partners.
What makes this role different is the focus on working smarter. Wherever a task is manual and repetitive, we want you to help us
automate it – using tools like SharePoint, Power Automate, Power Query and Microsoft Copilot. You don’t need to be an expert in
these; curiosity and a willingness to learn go a long way.
What kind of exciting challenges can you expect to meet in this role?
As a student assistant in our team, you will have varied tasks supporting the closing, monthly controlling and external reporting
processes – for example preparing reconciliations, assisting with calculations such as incremental borrowing rates and business
valuations, and helping prepare reporting deliverables. In addition, you will be planning and organizing the team’s activities.
Alongside these tasks, you will help us reduce manual work – for example by building simple Power Automate flows, improving our
SharePoint setup, or using AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot to draft and structure documentation. The finance tasks themselves
are fairly straightforward; the value you add is in doing them well and finding smarter ways to do them.
The working hours will be approximately 20 hours per week with flexibility for exams.
About you
We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters
bring out the best in us all. With this in mind, we imagine you are studying a bachelor's or master's degree in finance,
economics, engineering or similar — but if you come from another field and bring knowledge of automation tools and an interest in
finance, we'd still love to hear from you.
We imagine the ideal person for this position will bring the following:
- You are curious about AI and comfortable using tools such as Microsoft Copilot in your daily work – and critical about their
output
- You have an interest in SharePoint, Power Automate or Power Query – hands-on experience is a plus, but willingness to learn is
what counts
You are structured and detail-oriented, and you like finding smarter ways to handle repetitive tasks
A finance or accounting background is helpful, but not a strict requirement – the finance tasks can be learned on the job
You are fluent in written and spoken English and feel comfortable communicating with various stakeholders
