bunch is building the backbone of private markets. We are enabling next-gen fund operations with one integrated system that combines secure data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows and expert fund services. If you value ownership, growth through real responsibility, and working with a thoughtful, ambitious team, this role might be for you.

We are looking for our future Head of Finance to lead and scale our finance function. bunch has recently closed its Series B, is actively acquisitive, runs multiple entities across geographies and is building toward Series C and ultimately an exit.

This role owns capital, forecasting, budgeting, investor reporting, M&A finance, and EPR implementation and architects a function that scales from start-up to exit-grade, and gives you the opportunity to grow on a VP Finance track.

You will run the Finance function at a high-growth, VC-backed fintech at an inflection point, working directly with the founders and management team.

Your role

• Own the full budgeting cycle end-to-end — top-down and bottom-up — working with the founders and management, department heads, and all teams. You'll run monthly variance reviews, drive quarterly budget control processes, challenge and sign off on procurement and vendor requests, and translate business strategy into financial plans with clear KPIs and milestones

• Build and maintain a robust cash forecasting model, providing regular management updates on burn rate and runway

• Prepare monthly and quarterly updates for board meetings, present financial performance to investors, and field questions on KPIs and progress

• Over time, set up the analytical foundations expected of a Series C/D company. You'll own unit economics, cohort analyses, and profitability modelling; centralise Finance as the single source of truth for financial and operational KPIs; drive data quality improvements across Sales, Analytics, and other teams; and support commercial strategy with pricing analysis

• Lead all financial aspects of equity rounds — modelling, due diligence management, and investor responses. Your first major milestone: get bunch Series C ready

• Manage financial due diligence on acquisitions, build M&A models, support target selection, and own Finance's role in post-merger integration

• Own bunch's banking relationships and build a strong network of German and European banking partners. Manage liquidity optimisation strategies and establish treasury policies for the group

• Scope and lead the implementation of an ERP system across the bunch group

• Act as primary liaison for all external bookkeeping, accounting, and tax advisory relationships — including cost reviews and optimisation

• Lead and develop the team; you’ll oversee financial operations and accounting team members and decide who to hire as the function grows

• Set the standard for excellence in the team, drive process optimisation and automation, and ensure Finance is a high-performing function that is a genuine driver of bunch's growth
  

About you

• 5+ years of progressive experience in an in-house finance role (ideally SaaS or VC-backed environment), PE, reputable management or financial consultancy, and/or investment banking; no previous Head of Finance experience required

• Track record of building robust financial models from scratch and comfort working with multi-entity and multi-currency structures

• Familiarity with accounting, billing, and spend management tools (e.g. DATEV, Stripe, Moss, Spendesk); experience with ERPs (NetSuite, etc.) is a plus

• If coming from an in-house environment, proven ownership of forecasting and budgeting cycles, not just supporting them

• Hands-on now, strategic later as the role grows into a VP level; wants to “do” and build from scratch, not just managing others

• Combines excellent technical expertise with the versatility, commercial flexibility and presence to be the strategic finance partner for management and represent bunch to investors and external partners — equally comfortable in the boardroom and in the spreadsheet

• Excellent communication skills, i.e. able to translate complex financial data into clear narratives for non-finance stakeholders

• High levels of proactivity and solutions-orientedness

• Fund industry or fintech experience is a plus, not a requirement

• Comfort with operating with ambiguity and building processes where few exist

• Fluent in English, B2/C1+ German strongly preferred

Even if you think you don’t fulfill all of the requirements above, we want to hear from you — we are looking for smart, ambitious people who want to build their finance career at bunch.
