Monthio is looking for a Head of Finance with a strong financial background and an interest in working closely with the business. You will have overall responsibility for the finance function and play a central role in the company’s development. Perhaps you already lead a finance function, or perhaps you are an experienced Senior Controller or Finance Business Partner ready to take the next step. Most importantly, you can combine a broad overview with a hands-on approach and thrive in a role that involves responsibility for both day-to-day operations and the further development of the finance function. Experience in a similar role is an advantage, but not a requirement.
Your role
You will have overall responsibility for financial management, reporting, and the ongoing development of Monthio’s finance function. You will join the management team, report to the COO, and work closely with the CCO and the rest of the management team to provide a true and fair view of the company’s finances and a solid basis for decision-making. You will attend board meetings, where you will present financial results, expectations, and key risks, and you will manage the dialogue with our lender and other external stakeholders.
As the only in-house member of the finance team, you will have a broad role that requires a big-picture view of the business and the ability to turn insights into action. Day-to-day bookkeeping and payroll are handled by an external partner. You will manage the partnership, ensure quality, and follow up on deliverables. At the same time, you will be directly involved in analyses, models, reporting, and processes, and ensure that the finance function supports both daily operations and the company’s growth.
Your Responsibilities
Budgets, Forecasts, and Liquidity
Lead the budget process and rolling forecasts, and further develop the financial model so that changes in hiring plans, other costs, and expected revenue are continuously reflected and provide a basis for adjusting the company's priorities.
Monitor liquidity, cash burn, and runway, and highlight the impact of changes in revenue, costs, and investments.
Explain variances from the budget and forecast, and translate analyses and scenarios into concrete recommendations for management.
Reporting and Commercial Partnerships
Prepare monthly reports for management and the board, as well as reports for investors, that include clear conclusions regarding performance, expectations, and risks.
Prepare board materials in collaboration with the COO and the Chairman, and present the key financial points at board meetings.
Work with the CCO to consolidate the sales forecast and ensure consistency between the pipeline and the forecast.
Accounting and Financial Control
Ensure a timely and accurate month-end close, including reconciliations, accruals, and quality assurance of the accounts, in collaboration with the external partner.
Coordinate the annual report and audit, and ensure follow-up on VAT, tax, and other financial filings in collaboration with external advisors.
Maintain internal controls and approval procedures, process payments, and ensure that sales commissions are calculated correctly.
Systems and Automation
Drive improvements in financial systems and workflows based on e-conomic, Pleo, Fenerum, and Corpay.
Reduce manual work and improve data quality through better integrations, automation, and the effective use of AI.
Your profile
You have mastered the financial craft, understand the business behind the numbers, and take ownership of getting things done. You can constructively challenge assumptions and communicate your conclusions clearly. We value the quality of your work and your ability to take on broader responsibilities.
We imagine that you:
- Hold a relevant degree in finance or business, such as a cand.merc., cand.merc.aud., HD(R), or equivalent.
- Have solid hands-on experience with financial management and reporting, and an understanding of accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and liquidity.
- Possess strong analytical skills and the ability to transform complex data into clear insights and concrete recommendations.
- Work independently and in a structured manner, and be able to prioritize between recurring deliverables and developing the finance function.
- Communicate confidently in Danish and English and work well with both colleagues and external partners.
Experience with financial management at a company serving large enterprise customers is an advantage, especially if you have worked with ARR, accruals, and revenue recognition for large customer contracts. The same applies to experience with board reporting and managing external finance partners. You do not need to have prior experience with every aspect of the role, but you must have the professional foundation and the ability to take overall responsibility and grow in the position.
