As our (Senior) Finance Manager, you’ll own the full finance stack - accounting, FP&A, and finance operations - turning raw data into fast, accurate decisions. You’ll partner cross-functionally with Product, Ops, Commercial and Growth and report to the Managing Director/Co-Founder.

Key Responsibilities:

• Finance: Run a 5-day close, maintain policies/controls, coordinate audits/taxes, and deliver accurate management accounts.

• Accounting: Manage day-to-day bookkeeping and coordinate our Steuerberater for our group companies; ensure accurate accruals, deferrals, revenue recognition, and fixed-asset tracking; consolidate our group accounts.

• Payroll Accounting: Oversee payroll inputs, benefits accounting, and equity accounting (incl. EIP / VSOP), working with external providers.

• Finance operations & treasury: Build O2C/P2P, automate bank/GL/billing reconciliations (≥95% auto-match), manage cash ladder/runway, and optimize working capital; implement disciplined AP/AR processes (invoice flow, approvals, three-way match, dunning) and ensure timely collections.

• FP&A & decision support: Own the operating model and rolling forecast, run scenarios, track unit economics/KPIs, cash flows/runway and deliver investor-grade board packs (±5–10% accuracy).

• Cross-functional partnering: Work with Founders, Product, Ops, and Data to turn numbers into decisions on pricing, hiring, and growth; drive root-cause fixes.

• Tooling & scaling: Select/implement the finance stack (GL, billing, spend, BI), set cadences and SLAs, and build toward a small high-performing finance team.

• Ensure tax compliance: (VAT, Körperschaftsteuer, Lohnsteuer) and support statutory filings and audits.
