About the Role

As our first dedicated Senior FP&A Manager, you will build the financial planning & analysis function from the ground up and report directly to the CFO. You will own the group's forecasting and planning engine, sharpen EBITDA, burn and liquidity steering, and be a core partner on fundraising, board reporting and go-to-market economics, including the cohort analytics that show how efficiently we acquire and retain clients. This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to build.

Responsibilities

Own and continuously improve the integrated group model (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet) across both regulated entities, including consolidation logic.
Run the annual budget and rolling re-forecast; translate strategy into a defensible operating plan and use-of-funds.
Drive EBITDA, burn and liquidity steering; monitor runway and flag risks and levers early.
Define and report the KPIs that matter (payslips, FTE, revenue per client, gross margin, CAC/retention) and build them into our BI dashboard.
Prepare board and investor reporting; support future rounds with models and investor-grade materials.
Build and own cohort analytics tied to go-to-market: retention, payback period, LTV/CAC and margin by acquisition channel and vintage. Turn these into concrete recommendations on spend and channel mix.
Partner with Commercial and Service Operations leaders on unit economics, pricing, funnel efficiency and investment decisions.
Design finance processes that scale with rapid headcount and entity growth; strengthen the finance stack and automate recurring reporting (incl. Qonto ↔ Stripe reconciliation logic), using AI and agentic tooling to make planning faster, cleaner and repeatable.

Requirements

5+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking or a comparable analytical finance role, ideally with high-growth / VC-backed / scale-up exposure.
Expert financial modelling; you build clean, three-statement models and defend the assumptions.
Fluent in unit economics, SaaS/recurring-revenue and cash metrics; comfortable turning messy data into decisions.
Advanced Excel/Sheets; experience with BI/planning tooling (e.g. Looker, Power BI, Tableau or a dedicated FP&A tool) a strong plus.
Operate in English and German; investor and board materials are produced in English.
Hands-on, structured, comfortable with ambiguity and first-of-role ownership in a scaling environment.
Default to AI and agentic tools to automate the repetitive and build leverage — you think in reusable processes and systems, not one-off spreadsheets, so finance scales faster than headcount.
Degree in finance, business or a quantitative field; CFA, MBA or qualified-accountant background welcome.
Exposure to regulated industries (payroll, tax, financial services) or professional-services / accounting economics.
Hands-on experience with cohort / GTM analytics and the underlying data (CRM, billing, product) in a recurring-revenue business.
Do not wait to be told what to do.
Avoid "That's not my job" energy at the handoff between teams.
Treat compliance and documentation as essential, not red tape.
