Jobbeschreibung

Your Role

As Head of Finance, you own the entire finance operation behind one of Europe's fastest-growing companies, across our entities in Europe and the US.

• Own accounting for all entities: pre-accounting in-house, full ownership of our accounting stack, and the transition to fully in-house accounting in 2027.
• Run controlling: month-end, quarterly and annual closings, revenue reporting down to the invoice line item, cost and profit center reporting.
• Own tax: VAT and sales tax, employment tax and contributions, international tax, and transfer pricing between entities.
• Own cash flow and treasury: planning, forecasting, cash reserves, return optimization, intercompany transfers and FX.
• Roll out a lean ERP and turn everything manual in finance into workflows and AI agents.
• Build and lead the finance team, starting with your first hire shortly after you join.
• Work directly with both founders and the extended leadership team.

What We Offer

• Up to €130,000 + equity package.
• On-site in Vienna, relocation package if needed.
• Real ownership from day one
• Everything you need to be successful. If you need it, you get it.

What You Bring

• You were part of building a finance in a fast-growing company, internationally, across different jurisdictions and accounting regulations. (ideally: VC-backed B2B SaaS/Tech)
• You have run closings and accounting prep yourself, not just reviewed them.
• You are experienced across controlling, tax, cash flow and treasury.
• Workflows, agents and automations are your default, not the exception. Claude Code, n8n and similar tools are part of your toolkit.
• Obsession with detail: small errors bother you before they bother anyone else.
• Perfect German, very good English.
