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.
