To realise our ambitious Shift 2027 strategy, a well-oiled Finance team is indispensable. Do you also think in numbers? Then you can monitor the budget for all our projects and activities together with these specialists, ensure smooth & simple financial processes and high-quality reporting. In addition, this team makes sure that procurement processes run smoothly according to the correct tendering standards and they ensure that our company finances its activities with the right resources in the short and long term. Digitisation and simplification of our core financial processes are the key to success.
Brussels Airport Company knows exactly where it wants to go. To support that vision and all of our projects, the Controlling team creates business plans, analyses investments compared with Return On Investment, and is involved in the start-up of new activities. In addition, it is also responsible for general budgeting and forecasting, and for the monitoring of all our departments.
Our results in the short and long term are closely monitored. Our colleagues from Accounting & Tax contribute to the optimal financial processing of all those results. Not only do they record turnover, costs, assets and liabilities according to the rules of accounting, but they also take on different challenges and innovative projects every day. From writing out and simplifying financial flows of processes to solving complex tax issues.
Because the airport is such a diverse field of activity, the Procurement teams purchase a mix of deliveries, works and services that cannot be compared with any other sector. Some of their biggest challenges? Developing category strategies and integrating purchasing processes, as well as pilot projects on building relational contracts and an integrated contract approach. In short, here is where you set projects in motion!
To have sufficient financial resources to realise our Shift 2027 strategy, the Corporate Finance team ensures a stable base of long-term financing. They also monitor the risks of the very diverse activities of the airport and provide the necessary insurance policies to manage these risks. Finally, the team also assists the departments in obtaining subsidies to further expand the airport's activities.
