Head of Finance & Controlling (m/f/d)

Introduction

Intro

Making healthy eating effortless — with plant-based, chef-crafted meals that deliver maximum nutrition, flavour, and convenience. At Every, we help people reach their health goals while protecting the planet. Our vision goes beyond quick fixes — it's about sustainable wellbeing.

We're looking for a Head of Finance & Controlling (m/f/d) — a senior, strategic hire who takes full ownership of Every's financial numbers and gives leadership and the founders the clarity they need to make confident decisions as we scale.

About us

We aim to simplify healthy living. The future lies in delicious, sustainable food options that inspire better eating habits.

Your responsibilities

This is a build role. You'll set the strategy and standards for the function while staying hands-on in the first months, bringing structure to processes that are still manual and settling how our core metrics are defined.

You'll build on a solid accounting team that is already in place, expand the function into FP&A and controlling, and take the strategic decisions on Every's finance infrastructure.

• The definition layer, a single source of truth — establish one place where every commercial and financial metric is defined, so the whole company works from the same figures.
• Management reporting, accounting & controlling — own monthly management reporting end-to-end, from production and quality control through to the accompanying narrative, along with the controlling built on top of it.
• Planning, forecasting & liquidity — lead the annual plan and rolling forecast and the FP&A work behind them, together with the cash and liquidity model and working-capital management. You'll inherit and develop our existing cohort-based financial model.
• Finance operations, risk & compliance — oversee payment operations and the costs that feed into CM2, fraud and chargeback management, payroll, EU VAT and tax, and the legal and compliance interface.
• Strategic modelling on brief — take an open-ended question from leadership, for example modelling the TAM, CM2 and cannibalisation of a potential new SKU line, and produce a well-reasoned, defensible answer independently.
• Finance infrastructure & tooling — own the strategic decisions on Every's finance infrastructure and ERP, and roll out the FP&A, liquidity and close-automation tooling on top.
• Finance analytics & dashboards — build the dashboards and analysis the finance team runs on, drawing on data served centrally; comfortable enough with SQL to answer your own questions rather than wait on others.
• Cross-functional partnership — work as a peer with Growth, Ops, Digital Product and Customer Care to support and drive change across the business.

What you bring

• Finance leadership. 8+ years owning close review, management reporting, controlling and planning in organisations of 50–200+ people — ideally in e-commerce or D2C, and comfortable with supply-chain-driven cost structures.
• Modelling & analytics. Excellent financial-modelling and finance-analytics skills; you build your own dashboards and get into the data yourself (SQL a plus), without waiting on a BI team.
• Subscription economics. Fluent in cohort retention, CAC/CLV and contribution-margin ladders.
• Stakeholder credibility. You've settled a contested metric definition across functions, and you'll tell senior stakeholders when a number is wrong.
• Pragmatism. You bring structure where there is none and prioritise well under pressure.
• Languages. Able to work in German and English.
• Nice to have: D2C, subscription, food or FMCG · Big 4 audit or Transaction Services · founder-led company at 50–150 FTE · experience implementing ERP systems.

What we offer

• A high level of ownership in your role from day one
• A hybrid working model with a beautiful office in Kreuzberg
• Free lunches at the office
• 30% employee discount on Every products
• Subsidised Deutschlandticket and Urban Sports Club membership
• 30 days of annual leave
