What exactly does project consultancy at United Finance involve?
As a finance consultant at United Consulting™, you apply your experience and expertise to a variety of challenging projects. You actively contribute to clients’ financial processes, such as controlling, financial analysis, accounting, and process optimization. While continuing to expand your knowledge and strengthen your network, you benefit from the stability and support of an experienced employer. Our projects typically last between 6 and 9 months, depending on the client and the scope of the assignment. By default, we offer permanent contracts, although freelance opportunities are also possible.
What are the advantages of being part of a multidisciplinary consultancy firm?
United Consulting™ is like a house with different rooms. In addition to United Finance, there’s United HR, United Supply Chain, United Business Support, and United Marketing. Each room has its own expertise, but the doors between them are always open. This multidisciplinary approach fosters natural cross-pollination between teams and areas of expertise. For you, as a finance consultant, this means gaining access to interesting projects with a broader scope, where financial insights often go hand in hand with strategic and operational challenges.

Who leads United Consulting™ today?
United Consulting™ is led by Founder & CEO Johan Van Damme, a pioneer in the Belgian consultancy sector with more than 25 years of experience. Johan began his own career as a finance consultant, giving him a deep understanding of what professionals in the field truly need to grow. At a time when international corporations were setting the tone, he consciously chose a different approach in 1998: one that was more human, more personal, and closer to the professional. By founding JooS Consulting, specializing in finance and accounting and later continuing as United Finance, he laid the foundation for what is now the house of United Consulting™: a market leader in Flanders and Brussels, built around several strong business units. Supporting him is an experienced management team that has provided stability, continuity, and a strong focus on consultants for many years. A solid foundation on which you as a professional can continue to build your career.
As a senior consultant, can I count on a personal coaching program?
Absolutely. Our team of HR Business Partners actively supports your career development and helps you choose the right training programs to strengthen your expertise. Through internal training sessions, colleagues share knowledge on topics such as Change Management, Credit Management, and the Flex Income Plan. We also offer online webinars and external training opportunities tailored to your professional goals. You will also stay up to date with developments in AI. Every quarter, we provide updates on the latest trends and applications. Our AI Ambassadors, a group of colleagues who specialize in AI and continuously test new tools, actively share their knowledge with the rest of the organization. During your career discussions, you will determine together which training programs from our extensive offering best align with your ambitions.
How does United Consulting™ support work-life balance?
At United Consulting™, strong performance goes hand in hand with a healthy balance between work and private life. We do not promote a culture of structural overtime and offer 32 vacation days per year. In addition, we regularly organize team and company events that allow colleagues to relax and connect.
How does United Consulting™ strengthen the connection with its consultants?
Even though consultants often work on-site at clients’ offices or from their home office, they always remain part of our community. We organize a variety of engaging events and afterworks, ranging from inspiring workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions to fun barbecues and sporting challenges. This ensures that you not only continue to grow professionally but also maintain a strong connection with the United Consulting™ team.
Where is the headquarters of United Consulting™ located?
Our headquarters are currently located in Niel (Province of Antwerp). At the end of 2027, we will move to Be-One, a new, fully CO₂-negative office building in Puurs-Sint-Amands, constructed using an innovative cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure. This new office is not only an investment in the future but also tangible proof of our commitment to sustainability and people-first thinking. As a consultant, however, you will work from the client’s offices rather than our headquarters. We take your preferred region into account as much as possible to support a healthy work-life balance.
What is the connection between United Finance and JooS Consulting?
United Finance originated from JooS Consulting, founded in 1998. What began as a specialized player in finance & accounting evolved into one of the rooms within the house of United Consulting™. With more than 25 years of experience and a strong professional network, we connect experienced finance specialists with challenging projects in accounting, controlling, and business analysis. For us, it is not just about finding the right match but also about building long-term relationships based on trust and loyalty.
