CFO/Finance Manager

Description

Job Summary: We are seeking a CFO / Finance Manager. Key Highlights: 1. Hybrid role: accounting, finance, and strategic vision in a startup environment. 2. Lead and professionalize the finance function, bringing order and sound judgment. 3. High autonomy and speed in decision-making. * Company Description: Boomerang is leading the search for a position with an architecture and project development firm with over 15 years of experience. Although the company has become established in the market, it maintains an agile, dynamic culture strongly oriented toward the startup spirit—featuring lean structures, high autonomy, and rapid decision-making. The organization has grown organically and is now seeking to strengthen its finance function by incorporating a stable professional capable of leading, organizing, and professionalizing this area. * Position Description The company seeks a highly operational (“hands-on”) CFO / Finance Manager who can combine daily accounting tasks with broader strategic financial insight. This role will bridge the current gap between operational accounting and the executive level (CEO and Board). The selected candidate will be responsible for streamlining processes, leading the first-line finance team, establishing decision-making criteria, and ensuring robust, recurring financial control. This is not a traditional CFO role within a large, hierarchical structure; rather, it is a hybrid profile: someone with solid accounting foundations, financial acumen, business vision, and willingness to dive into operational details when needed—without losing strategic perspective. * Key Responsibilities: * Economic, Accounting, and Tax Management * Supervise and coordinate the work of the internal accountant and external advisory firm. * Ensure rigorous and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual closings. Review and ensure accurate accounting treatment of complex and multi-entity transactions. * Prepare financial statements, cash flow reports, monthly reporting for the CEO, and quarterly documents for the Board. * Ensure compliance with tax, legal, and corporate obligations. * Financial Planning and Control: * Implement order, clear processes, and consistent standards within the finance function. * Develop economic models and analyses to support decision-making. * Maintain strategic vision while retaining the ability to assume operational responsibilities as required on a day-to-day basis. * Propose improvements in control, efficiency, and management tools. * Corporate Structures and Investments: * Analyze corporate structures involving multiple related entities. * Support evaluation of investment opportunities and development of new business lines (e.g., self-promotion, investment projects). * Prepare financial models, profitability analyses, and scenario assessments. * Relationship with Executive Management and Governance Bodies: * Report monthly to the CEO on the company’s financial status. * Present reliable, structured, and comprehensible information to the Board on a quarterly basis. * Serve as the internal financial reference point, conveying sound judgment and strategic vision. Desired Skills and Knowledge: \* Experience \- 8–10 years of experience in advanced finance or accounting roles. \- Solid background in accounting, with comfort working at the operational detail level. \- Additional experience in finance, analysis, economic modeling, or planning (though not necessarily the primary focus). \- Valuable experience in environments involving multiple companies or complex corporate structures. \- Experience providing financial judgment to executive management and/or reporting to board level. \* Competencies: \- Ability to combine operational and strategic perspectives. \- Autonomous, solution-oriented profile with initiative and organizational capability. \- Habit of working in agile, changing environments with minimal formal structure. \- Excellent financial judgment and ability to articulate and justify decisions. \- “Hands-on” attitude: genuine willingness to undertake operational tasks when necessary. \* Soft Skills: \- Energy, professional humility, and growth mindset. \- Ability to communicate clearly and directly. \- Adaptability to an established yet non-corporate startup culture.
