Romain Vriamont - Support Controlling @ Delvaux

"The mission at Delvaux started off as a two-month mission with the means of substituting the departure of a finance controller. The project resulted in an 8-month project that evolved from basic operational procedures, to the enhancement and automation of the monthly reporting which was put into question."

5 years ago, I started my adventure as MeIncer at TriFinance. Back then, coming from the banking world and about to finish a postgraduate in Finance with a specialization in controlling, I was looking for a partner to explore the corporate controlling world.

Looking back now, I can say that the past 5 years were an amazing journey. Today I’m doing my 6th project for TriFinance in an FP&A role in the Telecom sector, which was until a few months ago, completely new to me. Over those 5 years, I’ve gained a lot of experience and knowledge through my projects but also within our HUB, T&S Brussels, through training, by collaborating with other colleagues and discussing ideas.

Thinking about one of my most memorable moments, I have to go back to my first year at TriFinance. Our care manager organized a meeting to discuss what is going well and what could be improved in our HUB with me as one of the participants. After that meeting, I got the idea that it might be interesting to organize a similar meeting on a regular basis to discuss topics related to our work as project consultants in our projects, in order to learn from each other and I shared this idea with our care manager.

The feedback was positive, and with the help of our care manager we selected a group of enthusiastic project consultants to further discuss the idea.

The first months, we had regular meetings in which we discussed all kind of possibilities and scenarios, without really moving forward. Personally, I have many good memories of that period as it was a way to get to know other colleagues, not only project consultants but also basecamp members.

A few months later, we took the decision to organize regular training sessions per year, starting after work and with a timeframe no longer than a football game, each time to discuss an interesting actual topic that could be helpful in our projects. We also agreed that it should be as interactive as possible and called it ‘IKS’ from Interactive Knowledge Sharing given by 2 or 3 people.

Now years later, we’ve done many such IKS sessions on various topics throughout the year. Some sessions were given more than once, other project consultants joined our group, and some have left us. A specific workgroup was created for bookkeeping topics, with the other group focusing more on controlling & reporting topics.

For me, participating in this is both an experience and a learning opportunity as well as a chance to meet other colleagues within our HUB and above all a lot of fun to do.

This experience has taught me that TriFinance is a place where you can create your own path and be a sort of entrepreneur in collaboration with basecamp and that when you have an idea, it’s always worth sharing it.
