At TriFinance, we recruit over 50 new finance graduates every year. These Young Hubs have the ambition to explore the corporate world through assignments at various companies.
Our young consultants take momentum in their careers with the TriFinance Young Hub Program. During this two-year Learning & Development program, they follow various training courses to further develop their finance and soft skills. In addition, a technical mentor supports them to strengthen their expertise and the follow-up by the internal BaseCamp team guarantees high-quality project delivery.
Read through Clara, Klaas’ and Xavier's experiences after their first year in the Young Hub Program.
Clara - Project Consultant Transition & Support Ghent / Roeselare
After my studies in Business Economics and a week of Young Hub Training at TriFinance, I immediately started on my first project in the treasury team of an international air conditioning and refrigeration company. My range of tasks evolved quickly.
At the start, I focused on daily treasury tasks, such as transfer management and cash position reporting. Soon I became involved in monthly reporting and other projects, such as FX and Power Apps testing. It gave me great satisfaction to take on a full-fledged role within the team and be able to take away some of the workload from the other team members.
At the end of the project, I handed over my tasks to a new permanent employee, based on the comprehensive manuals I had prepared. I also gave the team training on Power Apps testing procedures.
My first project was in treasury. My tasks evolved quickly. It gave me great satisfaction to be able to take away some of the workload from the other team members at the client.
Klaas - Project Consultant Transition & Support Hasselt
After obtaining my Master’s degree in Commercial Sciences, I started my first project in the accounts payable/accounts receivable department of a company active in the automotive sector. I supported the department in operational tasks such as booking invoices, booking banks and making payments. I also reviewed the systems and processes to check for optimizations. After coordination with the CFO, I was also able to put some of these optimizations into practice: optimizing CODA files, automating the posting of change invoices, digitizing mail…
The client really appreciated my proactive approach and my project was extended. During this period, I took on new responsibilities such as consolidation, stock reporting, budgeting, margin analysis and reporting in Power BI.
As a recent graduate, a lot of new things came my way. It was therefore a great added value that I could consult my mentor or other experienced TriFinance colleagues at any time. With my questions about Power BI, I could turn to the TriFinance specialists of Management Information & Systems (MI&S). That’s what you call one team!

Xavier - Project Consultant bij Financial Institutions
I started at the client in the insurance sector, with the goal of quickly taking over bookkeeping tasks since there were a lot of deadlines coming up. Besides all the experience and knowledge gained, it was also a fun challenge to grow quickly and deliver more than they expected: quick wins, process improvement, etc. The client decided to extend the assignment and expand its scope by involving me in new internal projects. My responsibilities within the company continued to grow throughout the mission.
During the interview with the client, the short- and medium-term needs were explained: the client needed someone who could support the department, but also implement improvements. In addition, the team was willing to invest in a team member who might not have all the required experience, but was willing to learn and go the 'extra mile' with the team.
