Job description

About Everfield

Everfield buys, builds, and grows European vertical market and specialist software companies, providing them with the tools they need to move to the next level. Our mission is to foster ambition, fuel growth, and unlock opportunities for Europe's software ecosystem.

Companies in the Everfield ecosystem follow a decentralised model, maintaining their team, brand, and offices, while focusing on what they do best - building products and supporting customers. Everfield provides support in talent acquisition, HR, and access to a team of experts in building and growing European B2B SaaS companies who consult on financial and operational topics. Founded in 2022, Everfield has an ecosystem presence in 9 countries, and growing.

About the Role

This is not a reporting role. It's ownership of the financial engine for a portfolio of growing software businesses.

You’ll be accountable end-to-end for the accounting integrity of your portfolio: closing the books accurately, building and leading a team of local finance experts to meet French statutory and regulatory requirements, and making sure every number that reaches Everfield’s leadership is right and on time. But the job doesn’t stop at accuracy. You’ll sit next to Business Unit Leaders as their financial conscience and commercial sparring partner - coaching them on the numbers, challenging their growth plans, and pushing them to allocate resources where they'll actually compound.

Everfield deliberately gives this role more scope than a typical FP&A or controller seat carries at this career stage. You’ll run the accounting, build and lead the regional finance team, and shape how each business thinks about growth - the full stack, across multiple companies.

What You’ll Do

Own the numbers

• Be accountable for the accuracy and timeliness of monthly reporting (management P&L, KPIs, operating metrics) for each business in your portfolio - not just its preparation.
• Build and manage a team of local financial experts to meet French statutory and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Guide each business’s finance and accounting team through migration onto Everfield’s NetSuite instance.
• Own the accuracy and timeliness of the underlying accounting work behind every number you report.
• Build and defend annual budgets and rolling forecasts, incorporating strategic initiatives and long-term expectations.
• Prepare Quarterly Update Review (QUR) packs for Everfield’s CEO, CFO, and COO.

Drive the growth agenda

• Coach Business Unit Leaders on financial acumen - make sure they understand and consistently apply the Everfield ratios, not just report against them.
• Challenge and support Business Unit Leaders in applying Everfield’s prescribed revenue system to their business.
• Help each business spot operating efficiencies, report headcount accurately, and manage overhead with intent.
• Partner with Business Unit Leaders on charting expense management and aligning resources toward growth, not just cost control.
• Play an active role in integration of newly acquired businesses - systems, data, and reporting design, alongside the Integration Director and Head of BI.
• Partner with your Strategic Business Partner (SBP) counterpart on the day-to‑day relationship with each business in your region.

Who We're Looking For

• An ambitious problem-solver who wants this role to be a stepping stone – experience on the path towards a CFO or Controller of a larger group of companies, or of a larger standalone business.
• Strong technical grounding in accounting practices and controls - you can run a clean close and hold a third‑party provider to a standard, not just review their output.
• Commercial instinct to match: you can sit across from a Business Unit Leader and challenge their growth plan, not just report on whether they hit it.
• A completed university education plus a professional finance qualification (CA/ACA/CIMA or equivalent).
• 5+ years in Business Controlling, FP&A, or Finance Business Partnering.
• Ability to lead and build a team of regional finance specialists.
• Comfort operating in a decentralised, multi‑entity, PE‑backed environment - you'll manage stakeholders across businesses at very different stages of maturity.
• Fluent in English and French; effective communicator at every level of an organisation, from bookkeeper to CEO.
• Ideally, a background in fast‑growing technology or SaaS companies.
• Willingness to travel occasionally.

What We Offer

• Attractive salary package with performance‑based bonus.
• Remote flexibility.
• A collaborative team culture based on respect, ownership, and trust.
• Access to international experts within the Everfield ecosystem - accelerate your personal and professional growth.
• Regular team events and company celebrations.

Interview Process

Here’s what to expect and who you’ll meet during the recruitment process:

• First interview with Talent Acquisition Manager (0.5 h)
• Second interview with Hiring Manager (1.0 h)
• Third interview with Group Finance representatives (1.0 h)
