Job summary

Black Swans Exist GmbH is seeking a first finance leader to take over reporting, forecasting, and cash management while partnering with the CEO. The role is designed to grow into the CFO seat as the company scales, with responsibility for KPI dashboards, pricing, and international subsidiary setups.

You will shape finance processes, close books, and provide actionable insights to steer the business in English.

Qualifications

4–8 years in finance, with a foundation in audit or a finance consultancy (Big 4 or mid-tier).
Solid Danish accounting knowledge, and you've closed books yourself.
Strong Excel and modelling; Navision/Business Central and Power BI are a plus.
Hands-on: you build the process, then you run it.
The authority to challenge management, and the appetite for it.
The ambition to become a CFO.
Fluent English (Danish not required).

Responsibilities

Monthly, quarterly and annual reporting, including the board pack, on a fixed calendar.
Budget, rolling forecasts and the three-year plan.
Revenue recognition across instrument sales, rentals, placements and consumables.
Invoicing, receivables and cash — and rethinking how it's done.
A company KPI dashboard and monthly budget-versus-actual reviews with each manager.
Margin, pricing and working-capital analysis, plus business cases for the CEO and board.
The finance set-up of new international subsidiaries.
People administration: contracts, payroll coordination with external providers, and the annual review cycle.
