Finance Lead - Digital Transformation

Help build a finance function designed for growth.

We're partnering with a high-growth, investor-backed business in Munich that is entering an exciting new phase of expansion.

You'll play a key role in developing a finance function that can support the business as it continues to scale.

This is far more than a traditional accounting position.

Approximately 60% of the role will focus on finance transformation—improving systems, implementing automation, strengthening controls and creating scalable ways of working. The remaining 40% will involve hands-on responsibility for accounting operations, ensuring the business has a solid financial foundation as it grows.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys building processes, solving problems and making a tangible impact in a fast-moving environment.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Take ownership of the monthly, quarterly and annual financial close process.
  • Help design and develop a finance function that is built for future growth.
  • Lead initiatives to improve finance processes, systems and operational efficiency.
  • Support the selection, implementation and optimisation of a scalable ERP platform.
  • Drive automation projects that reduce manual work and improve reporting quality.
  • Develop and strengthen financial controls, governance and compliance processes.
  • Oversee core accounting activities, ensuring accurate financial records and reporting.
  • Work with external advisers on statutory reporting, tax matters and audit activities.
  • Partner with colleagues across the business to improve financial processes and support better decision-making.
  • Act as a trusted partner to the CFO, contributing to the future direction of the finance function.

What We're Looking For
  • Qualified accountant with at least five years' experience.
  • Strong knowledge of German GAAP (HGB); IFRS experience is beneficial.
  • Experience improving finance processes, implementing systems or supporting finance transformation initiatives.
  • Confident balancing operational accounting with strategic improvement projects.
  • Fluent German and English.
  • Comfortable working in a growing business where priorities can evolve quickly.
  • A hands-on, proactive approach with a genuine desire to build and improve.
  • Able to work full-time from the Munich office.

Why Apply?
  • Work directly with the  senior leadership team.
  • Play a key role in shaping the future of the finance function.
  • Lead meaningful transformation initiatives with real ownership.
  • Join an ambitious, high-growth business at an exciting stage of its journey.
  • Excellent opportunity to develop your career as the organisation continues to grow.

Package
  • €75,000–€90,000 depending on experience.
  • 30 days' annual leave.
  • Competitive benefits package.
  • High levels of ownership and autonomy.
  • Long-term career development opportunities.
