• Analysis: Run variance analysis against budget, forecast and weekly flash, build scenario models, and prepare quarterly business reviews.
• Data integrity: Establish Metabase/Looker as a reliable source of finance KPIs. Reconcile BI data against invoices and the ledger, own the KPI definitions and remove double counts and manual add-ons.
• Liquidity: Work with Treasury on the liquidity forecast (network payout timing, UA spend, user cash-outs).
• Interface with accounting: Work with the Accounting Lead on the in-house month-end close, including accruals input, cut-off, and cost center and chart of accounts design in DATEV.
• Team: Mentor and review the work of our junior FP&A team member, and grow into the leadership of the controlling function in the mid-term.
