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.

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. On the other hand, you’ll have a permanent home base with the chance to build real relationships with your colleagues.
Want to find out how it really is to work as a consultant? Read the stories of Robbert and Marianne.
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!
Not your average employer
Solid Professionals isn’t your average employer. We are convinced organisations are built by the people who work for them, which leads us to believe that we need to help our employees achieve their full potential.
Your development and happiness at work are our priority. Solid Professionals sees your creativity and ideas as opportunities and strengths.
We believe in long-term relationships based on trust, in which we work together toward durable solutions. We are involved, knowledgeable, and love to be challenged. Mistakes are part of the learning process. And, not to be forgotten, we operate from the conviction that work should make you happy.
The Hup
As a subsidiary of the Hup, Solid Professionals stand for the same values. One of them is visible in the name of Hup itself, spelt with a P to further underline the importance of people. The ones we work with and the ones we work for. Multiple subsidiaries have been created by our employees with ambition and that entrepreneurial drive. In addition to Solid Professionals, The Hup is also the parent company to DNFS, Amsterdam Data Collective and the Instituut voor Vitaal Ondernemen.
