Your mission

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Finance Manager to build, lead, and manage the full finance function of the company — from accounting and compliance to business partnering and strategic planning. This is a hands-on role suited for a professional who thrives in a fast-growing, early-stage environment and can develop processes from zero to one.
The Finance Manager will play a key role in shaping the financial backbone of our new European operations, ensuring local compliance while enabling scalable growth across software, cloud, and service business lines.

Key Responsibilities: 

1. Finance System Ground-up Setup & Operations
· Build and implement the end-to-end financial framework (accounting, budgeting, reporting, controls) from scratch.
· Select and manage local accounting systems, banking processes, and ERP tools, independent from Sungrow Group systems.
· Oversee all bookkeeping, payments, invoicing, and cashflow management in line with German GAAP (HGB) and EU standards.

2. Compliance & Tax Management
· Ensure full compliance with German tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements.
· Liaise regularly with local tax authorities, auditors, and external advisors.
· Supervise monthly, quarterly, and annual tax filings (VAT, CIT, payroll).
· Maintain internal controls and manage statutory audits and risk reviews.

3. Business Partnering & Strategic Finance
· Act as a finance business partner to the General Manager and key functions, providing financial insights and decision support.
· Lead budgeting, forecasting, and cost control, tracking investment efficiency and business performance.
· Support shareholder and board reporting to Singapore and HQ stakeholders, clearly explaining financial results, variances, and ROI.

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration
· Work closely with HR, Legal, and Operations to coordinate payroll, expense control, and compliance matters.
· Support employee salary structure setup, benefits administration, and related statutory filings.
· Act as a bridge between local teams and external service providers (accounting, legal, tax consultants).

Your profile

· 5–8 years of progressive experience in finance, accounting, or business partnering, ideally within a tech, software, or start-up environment.
· Hands-on experience in building financial systems and processes in new entities or international subsidiaries.
· Solid understanding of German accounting standards (HGB), tax law, and reporting to local authorities.
· Proven ability to work independently and drive results in a fast-changing environment.
· Strong communication and cross-cultural collaboration skills; able to interface with both local German teams and international stakeholders.
· Fluent English required; German proficiency strongly preferred (ability to liaise with local authorities).
· Experience with auditors, tax advisors, and financial service providers in Germany is a plus.
· Business-minded, pragmatic, and solution-oriented — capable of balancing compliance with growth.
