CFO / Finance Manager

Description

Job Summary: We are seeking a CFO / Finance Manager. Key Highlights: 1. Leadership and professionalization of the finance function with direct impact. 2. Active participation in key business decisions and close collaboration with the CEO. 3. A dynamic, flexible, and collaborative environment with a growth-oriented mindset. * Company Description: Boomerang is leading the search for a position within an architecture and project development firm with over 15 years of experience. Although the company has established itself in the market, it maintains an agile, dynamic, and highly startup-oriented culture—characterized by lean structures, high autonomy, and rapid decision-making. The organization has grown organically and is now looking to strengthen its finance function by bringing on board a stable, hands-on professional capable of leading, structuring, and professionalizing this area. * Role Description The company seeks a highly operational CFO / Finance Manager (“hands-on”) who can seamlessly combine day-to-day accounting responsibilities with a broader strategic financial perspective. This role fills a critical gap currently existing between operational accounting and the executive level (CEO and Board). The selected candidate will be responsible for streamlining processes, leading the first line of finance, establishing decision-making criteria, and ensuring robust, recurring financial control. This is not a traditional CFO role suited for a large, hierarchical organization; rather, it calls for a hybrid profile: someone with a solid accounting foundation, sound financial judgment, business acumen, and the willingness—and ability—to dive into operational details when required, all while retaining a strategic outlook. * Key Responsibilities: * Financial, 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 validate proper accounting treatment for complex and multi-entity transactions. * Prepare financial statements, cash-flow forecasts, monthly reporting for the CEO, and quarterly reports for the Board. * Ensure compliance with tax, legal, and corporate obligations. * Financial Planning and Control: * Introduce structure, clear processes, and consistent standards within the finance function. * Develop economic models and analytical frameworks to support decision-making. * Maintain strategic vision without losing the capacity to assume operational responsibilities as needed on a day-to-day basis. * Propose improvements in financial control, efficiency, and management tools. * Corporate Structures and Investments: * Analyze corporate structures involving multiple related entities. * Support the evaluation of investment opportunities and the 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 insight. * Experience * 8–10 years of experience in advanced finance or accounting roles. * Solid background in accounting, with comfort working at an 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 insight to executive management and/or delivering board-level reporting. * Competencies: * Ability to balance operational and strategic perspectives. * Autonomous, solution-oriented profile with initiative and strong organizational skills. * Habit of working in agile, rapidly changing, and minimally formalized environments. * Excellent financial judgment and ability to clearly articulate and justify decisions. * “Hands-on” attitude: genuine willingness to undertake operational tasks when necessary. * Soft Skills: * Energy, professional humility, and a growth mindset. * Ability to communicate clearly and directly. * Adaptability to a mature yet non-corporate startup culture. * A strategic project with direct impact on the professionalization of the finance function. * Active participation in key business decisions. * Direct relationship with the CEO and regular interaction with the Board. * A dynamic, flexible, collaborative, and growth-oriented environment. * Compensation package around €45–50K, depending on experience.
