What they actually want (must-haves)
  • Deep knowledge of HGB and audit experience on the corporate side.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with modern finance ERP systems (NetSuite, Business Central or similar).
  • Proven experience in controlling work: forecasts, unit P&Ls, management reporting that has influenced real decisions.
  • Leadership experience: you have led a team and can engage effectively with founders, auditors, and investors.

Nice to have
  • Background as a balance sheet accountant or tax advisor, SQL or Python skills, and experience with AI in finance.
What the job really is

The Director of Finance at Wunderflats will lead the finance department, overseeing accounting, controlling, liquidity, taxes, and financial reporting. This role involves managing a four-person team and implementing dynamic budgeting principles to ensure clear financial governance across the company. The position requires building scalable financial processes and contributing to the company's transition towards AI-driven operations.

Benefits
  • A seat on the leadership team with real influence on company direction.
  • A mandate for modernization: systems, automation, AI-native finance, supported by both founders.
  • An experienced, stable team and an organized handover from the current role holder.
  • Office-first culture in Hackescher Markt, Berlin, with remote possibilities.
Things to weigh
  • The role requires building financial processes from the ground up, which may not be appealing if you prefer a polished operation.
  • The first year is described as challenging and not glamorous, focusing on foundational work rather than high-level strategy.
  • The financial deal-making currently lies with the founder-CFO, which may limit immediate responsibilities in that area.
