Advisory - Manager

Roles & Responsibilities

In today's dynamic environment, smart cost and profitability insights are essential for sustainable growth. At KPMG Belgium, our CFO Advisory team partners with CFOs and CEOs to go beyond traditional finance - helping them shape strategy, elevate performance, and create long-term value.

We are looking for a Manager to join our Cost & Profitability Management team within CFO Advisory: someone who combines analytical strength with strong people skills, and who thrives in environments where collaboration and leadership matter.

In this Manager role, you will lead meaningful, high-impact engagements that help clients improve cost efficiency, pricing strategies, and financial transparency. You will work in a diverse, multidisciplinary team where ideas are valued, and where you can shape the future of how organizations understand cost and profitability.

You will:

• Lead cost & profitability management projects from analysis through implementation, ensuring teams feel supported and empowered.
• Deliver tailored recommendations that help clients optimize cost structures, enhance product and customer profitability, and strengthen strategic decision-making.
• Apply proven best practices in cost modeling, allocation methodologies, and financial performance analysis.
• Identify growth opportunities and play a key role in developing proposals and client presentations.
• Build strong, trusting relationships with client stakeholders and help expand KPMG's presence in this space.
• Act as a mentor and coach for junior colleagues, fostering their development and encouraging inclusive team dynamics.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, technology evolutions, and tools that impact finance and costing - including emerging AI capabilities.
