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 a Head of Finance to be the most senior finance hire at bunch as we rebuild our finance function from the ground up. bunch has just 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 scrappy to exit-grade.
You will own the Finance function at a high-growth, VC-backed fintech at an inflection point, reporting to the General Counsel, 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, 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.
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. You'll also hire to build out this function over time.
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. You'll also develop relationships with banks to secure acquisition financing when needed.
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. Keep other financial risks such as currency risk in mind and develop mitigation strategies as appropriate (e.g. hedging)
Scope and lead the implementation of an ERP system across the bunch group.
Own existing non-dilutive funding disbursements and lead future applications — including grants and other funding options across our markets.
Lead audits from the Finance side, coordinating with external tax advisors and accountants. Act as primary liaison for all external bookkeeping, accounting, and tax advisory relationships — including cost reviews and optimisation.
Set the standard for excellence in the team, drive process optimisation and automation, and ensure Finance is a high-performing function that's a genuine driver of bunch's growth.
