The role

As a Finance Manager, you will assume financial responsibility for a portfolio of approximately 4 clients, working directly with their management teams, CFOs, founders, and other players in the investor ecosystem.
Your mission will be to ensure the quality and reliability of financial information, but also to transform it into analysis, recommendations, and tools that help clients make better decisions and support their growth.

What you'll do

Main responsibilities:

• Prepare and analyze financial and management information for CFOs and C-Level teams.
• Develop and monitor business plans, budgets, P&L, and cash flow forecasts.
• Analyze margins, variable contribution, sales, costs, and variances against the business plan.
• Identify trends, risks, and opportunities and translate them into concrete recommendations for management.
• Coordinate closing processes, financial reporting, and relationships with external auditors.
• Ensure the reliability of financial statements and compliance with accounting and statutory requirements.
• Identify opportunities for improvement and efficiency in financial processes.
• Design and implement procedures and solutions that enable clients to standardize and scale their processes.
• Participate in fundraising, investment, and M&A projects, preparing and managing the financial information required throughout the different stages of the transactions.
• Act as a trusted financial advisor for clients, managing projects with a high degree of autonomy.

Requirements:

What we are looking for:

• University degree in Business Administration, Economics, Finance, or a related field.
• Approximately 4-5 years of experience in financial auditing at a Big4 firm or equivalent environment.
• Solid technical foundation in accounting, financial statements, and financial analysis.
• Ability to interpret P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements and translate financial information into business conclusions.
• Highly analytical, structured, and rigorous profile, with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and clients simultaneously.
• Strong communication skills and ability to interact with senior management-level stakeholders.
• Autonomy, adaptability, and client orientation.
• Interest in developing a career within the startup ecosystem, Tech/Biotech, investment, and Corporate Finance.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, curiosity, and ambition to take on progressively greater responsibilities.

What the project offers:

A particularly attractive opportunity for professionals looking to move from auditing into a financial role with greater business impact and strategic exposure.
You will join a boutique, expert, and highly collaborative team where you will be able to:

• Manage your own client portfolio.
• Work directly with founders, CFOs, funds, investors, and management teams.
• Get involved in complex financial projects from a very early stage of your tenure.
• Gain exposure to fundraising and M&A transactions.
• Develop within the Tech and Biotech ecosystem.
• Work in an environment based on autonomy and flexibility, where ownership of results is key.
• Benefit from a development plan oriented toward taking on progressively greater responsibility and leadership.

If you are looking to make the leap from an auditing environment to a role where finance is truly connected to strategy, growth, and decision-making, we would love to meet you.
