We started with phone agents and now also cover WhatsApp, web chat, email and a full AI phone system. We’re growing fast across Europe, the UK, the US and Brazil. We grew from $1M to $10M ARR in under 12 months, then went from $10M to $20M in about 8 weeks. Today we serve 10,000+ customers. We move fast, take ownership, give direct feedback, and avoid politics and unnecessary meetings. ### Join one of the fastest-growing companies! 🚀 ### The Role You make sure that as a Head of Finance, you own the entire finance operation behind one of fastest-growing companies, across our entities in Europe and the Americas. ### What to Expect Own accounting for all entities: pre-accounting in-house, full ownership of our accounting stack, and the transition to fully in-house accounting in 2027. Run controlling: month-end, quarterly and annual closings, revenue reporting down to the invoice line item, cost and profit center reporting. Own tax: VAT and sales tax, employment tax and contributions, international tax, and transfer pricing between entities. Own cash flow and treasury: planning, forecasting, cash reserves, return optimization, intercompany transfers and FX. Roll out a lean ERP and turn everything manual in finance into workflows and AI agents. Build and lead the finance team, starting with your first hire shortly after you join. Work directly with both founders and the extended leadership team. ### What You Bring ### Must-haves 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. ### Nice-to-haves Experience with post-merger integration or investor due diligence. ### What We Offer Up to €150,000 Equity Relocation support Daily lunch and dinner Equipment of your choice Regular team off-sites On-site in Vienna, working directly with the core-team ### Hiring process 15 min Intro Call 90 min Skill Interview (Deep dive on your technical skills of the role through a case) 30 min Culture Call with one of the founders ### How we hire?
