About the company & team

At Catenon, we are supporting a boutique firm specialized in financial management, Corporate Finance, and M&A, with a strong presence in the Tech, Biotech, startup, and investment fund ecosystem, in the recruitment of a Finance Manager for their Barcelona office.
We are looking for a financial profile with a solid background in Big4 auditing, who wants to take the next step in their professional career and move into a role much closer to the business, with autonomy, direct client exposure, and involvement in growth projects, fundraising, and corporate transactions.

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.
