Zusammenfassung

Adcubum is seeking a hands-on Business Controller to own planning, forecasting, and management reporting. You turn financial data into insight for the Leadership and Board and act as a sparring partner on pricing, deals, and investments.

The role combines FP&A, cost controlling, and AI‑enhanced analytics within a mid‑sized software company. You will lead budgeting, coordinate rolling forecasts, and develop KPI dashboards using Board/Abacus and Excel. Fluent German and English are required.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in finance, business administration, or economics; Fachausweis Finanz‑und Rechnungswesen or MAS Controlling is a plus.
• 4–5 years of experience in controlling—ideally in a software, SaaS, or technology company.
• Solid understanding of cost controlling, cost center accounting, and headcount planning; familiarity with software business models and Swiss GAAP FER a plus.
• Strong financial modelling skills in Excel; experience with Board or a comparable BI/EPM tool is an advantage.
• Genuine affinity for AI: actively use AI tools in daily work and push automation in finance.
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to communicate complex information clearly to senior audiences.
• Proactive, hands‑on, and comfortable in a mid‑sized company where you build rather than inherit structures.
• Fluent in German and English.

Aufgaben

• Lead annual budgeting process end‑to‑end: coordinate inputs from all departments, consolidate into an integrated P&L, cash flow, and headcount plan.
• Coordinate the rolling forecast process and own consolidation into an integrated company view, in close cooperation with the Revenue Controller.
• Model scenarios and sensitivities on the cost side to support strategic decisions (e.g., org changes, insourcing/outsourcing, investment cases).
• Prepare monthly actuals vs. budget/forecast/prior‑year analysis with clear commentary on drivers (volume, price, mix, timing, one‑offs).
• Support the CFO in producing board‑level P&L commentary and the monthly reporting pack.
• Track progress against annual financial targets (Adjusted EBITDA, revenue mix, Rule of 40) and flag risks and opportunities early.
• Own and continuously improve the KPI dashboard: ARR, recurring vs. non‑recurring revenue, net revenue retention, backlog, headcount, cost ratios.
• Prepare ad‑hoc analyses and decision papers for Leadership and Board meetings.
• Act as Controller business partner to department heads, supporting cost center steering (cost transparency and headcount planning).
• Monitor operating expenses, personnel costs, and CAPEX against budget; challenge spend and identify savings potential.
• Prepare business cases and cost analyses for investment and make‑or‑buy decisions.
• Coordinate closely with the Revenue Controller and Accounting to ensure a consistent end‑to‑end financial picture.
• Develop and maintain planning models and reports in Board/Abacus (our BI/ERP platform) and Excel.
• Actively use AI tools to automate analyses, draft commentary, and accelerate the close‑to‑report cycle.
• Improve data quality, automation, and the efficiency of planning and reporting processes.
• Support the annual audit with bridges, reconciliations, and analyses.

Business Controller / Financial Planning & Analysis (80–100%)

Full-time

Adcubum is a leading Swiss provider of standard software for the insurance industry. Our Syrius platform runs the core business of major Swiss health and accident insurers. We are transforming our business model toward recurring subscription revenue and are looking for a hands‑on Business Controller to strengthen the finance team through this journey.
