Real ownership from day one
Everything you need to be successful. If you need it, you get it.
You were part of building a finance in a fast-growing company, internationally, across different jurisdictions and accounting regulations. (ideally: VC-backed B2B SaaS/Tech)
You have run closings and accounting prep yourself, not just reviewed them.
You are experienced across controlling, tax, cash flow and treasury.
Workflows, agents and automations are your default, not the exception. Claude Code, n8n and similar tools are part of your toolkit.
Obsession with detail: small errors bother you before they bother anyone else.
Perfect German, very good English.
