Finance Business Partner

Ready to be part of Europe's finance revolution? We're transforming how startups manage their finances - and we want you to help shape that future. Every startup founder has a moment when financial complexity threatens to derail their vision - brilliant minds get lost in spreadsheets instead of building breakthrough products. That's the problem we solve.

This isn't your typical finance role. As our Finance Business Partner, you'll become the strategic finance partner that founders rely on for critical decisions, working alongside experienced CFO Partners in a collaborative environment.

About the Role

As a Finance Business Partner, you'll become a strategic finance expert that some of Europe's most promising startups depend on. You'll work with a portfolio of clients - from AI innovators scaling internationally to sustainable fashion brands preparing for a Series A journey - guiding their most critical financial decisions. Your days will be strategically focused and impactful. You might start by building financial models with a fintech startup preparing for fundraising, then collaborate with CFO Partners on monthly board reports. Working closely with our Finance Assistants, you'll ensure robust financial controlling - combining their detailed operational work with your strategic oversight to deliver flawless client reporting. Throughout it all, experienced CFO Partners will mentor your development, helping you grow as a finance professional.

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborate with clients and your internal team (CFO Partners, Finance Assistants) to build budgets, forecasts, and financial models
• Partner with your clients to guide critical business decisions and strategic planning
• Create and deliver monthly client reports through our Financial Management Platform
• Perform financial controlling and ensuring accuracy across all reporting
• Support clients by identifying and implementing financial tools that streamline their operations

The best part? You'll build meaningful partnerships with founders during their most important moments, while developing your skills alongside experienced finance professionals who are invested in your growth.
