Company Overview
Our client is a fast-growing energy services provider at the forefront of Germany’s decarbonisation journey. Following its acquisition by a leading global private equity fund, the company is entering a new phase of transformation and growth.
The Opportunity
This is a hands‑on, build‑and‑transform mandate for a CFO ready to professionalise and scale the finance organisation in a high‑growth, PE‑backed environment. You’ll take full ownership of finance operations, shaping a lean setup into a data‑driven, investor‑grade platform that enables rapid decision‑making, operational excellence, and value creation.
Key Mandate
* Stabilise and professionalise core accounting, reporting, and cash processes in partnership with external advisors.
* Deliver speed, control, and accuracy in monthly closings, compliance (HGB/IFRS), and management reporting.
* Build and lead a capable finance team and embed KPI‑driven performance management.
* Digitise and automate processes across billing, controlling, and forecasting to create transparency and scalability.
* Drive integration and transformation through post‑merger activities, treasury setup, and system improvements.
* Partner with the CEO and investors on business cases, M&A, and long‑term value creation initiatives.
What Success Looks Like
Within 12 months, finance will operate as a reliable, fast, and insight‑driven function delivering clean audits, timely reporting, and clear cash visibility. Within 18 months, you’ll have built a scalable finance infrastructure underpinning growth and future transactions, positioning the business for its next phase of expansion and exit readiness.
Candidate Profile
* Proven track record building or transforming finance functions in PE‑backed or M&A‑driven environments.
* Highly hands‑on and execution‑focused, yet capable of shaping finance as a strategic partner.
* Sector background in energy, infrastructure, or technical services is beneficial but not essential.
