At ReachCentrum, part of ERM — a global leader in sustainability consulting — we are looking for a Project Financial Consultant to join our finance consulting team.

This is not a traditional reporting role. It is a consulting-facing position where you will act as a key business partner, helping project managers and clients understand complex financial situations, identify risks and opportunities, and support informed decision-making.

You will work at the crossroads of finance, client advisory, and regulatory projects, contributing directly to the success of international REACH Consortia.

Why this role stands out

Act as a trusted advisor, not just a financial reporter
Work closely with project managers and clients, influencing decisions
Gain exposure to complex, high-value, international projects
Play an active role in improving tools, processes, and ways of working
Develop a strong combination of financial expertise and consulting skills
