Junior Finance Consultant
With our tailored consultancy program, you can immerse yourself in the Finance or Risk domains of major players in the financial sector such as ING, ABN AMRO, and Rabobank. Enhance your consultancy skills through targeted training and rapidly develop new abilities through practical coaching. Curious about what else our consultancy program can offer you? Read on!
What you’ll do
As a consultant in our program, you will directly support critical financial processes within the client's environment. This hands-on experience enables you to quickly grasp the inner workings of the financial sector. Over time, you will transition into an advisory role with one of our partners, which include leading financial organizations such as banks, insurance companies, and pension funds. Starting in an analytical entry-level position, you will advance to a significant leadership or senior role.
You will collaborate with experienced consultants on temporary assignments, tackling complex financial data issues, optimizing reports, or making improvement proposals. Key themes you will engage with include new legislation and regulations, process optimization, and data quality. Assignments typically last between 6 to 9 months.
Throughout the program, a talent manager and senior consultant will guide you in both your professional and personal development. You will deepen your subject matter expertise, enhance your consultancy skills, and receive coaching on practical assignments. This cross-pollination ensures rapid professionalization, continuously challenging and developing yourself.
Our 3-year consultancy program and the diverse range of client assignments provide a robust all-round foundation for becoming a full-fledged consultant. In the first two years, we lay the groundwork, and in the third year, specialization follows. After three years, you can transition to one of the consultancy labels within our parent company The Hup or continue to grow within Solid Professionals:
- RiskSphere: focuses on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).
- Firm C: Data-driven Finance & Risk, project management, and process optimisation.
- Managing consultant: leading, coaching, and guiding young people within the consultancy program.

- A completed master's degree in Finance, Business Economics, Accountancy, or a non-business economics degree such as Strategic Management, combined with a bachelor's degree in Finance or Economics.
- Affinity with the financial sector.
- You are driven, proactive, stress-resistant and a go-getter.
- You are an analytical genius – numbers are your best friends.

- As a reward for your growth: a salary increase of at least 4.5% every six months.
- A laptop, phone, and a mobility budget for public transport.
- A dynamic and international working environment.
- A close-knit team with regular opportunities to socialise, participate in sports, or go out together.
- As a colleague, you can also become a shareholder and share in the profits.
Thanks to the coaching I received from more experienced consultants at Solid Professionals, I was able to quickly pick up more responsibilities on my client assignment. This allowed me to make an immediate impact with the client.

What can you expect?
When working as a junior finance consultant, you’ll get the best of both worlds. On the one hand, you’ll get a taste of the dynamics of various leading organisations in the financial sector.

That combination makes working as a finance consultant at Solid Professionals different to any other company. You don't see each other every day, but the time we spend together is real quality time. Plus, we regularly have fun drinks, and every year we have a weekend outing with the entire team! Will we see you there next time?
Would you rather specialise directly within one department? Then our 1 to 2-year Traineeship Finance might be something for you!
