Why this role exists
Peak Atlas Group AG was founded in April 2025 and is building several offers as well as the Peak One software platform. To steer this build-up economically, we need a finance function that brings planning, reporting, accounting and controlling together. You build it and later staff it with further roles.
Your outcomes
- Traceable company planning with clear assumptions and scenarios.
- Regular management reporting that leadership trusts.
- A robust cash-flow forecast and monitoring.
- Finance processes that are built or developed further, including GoBD-compliant bookkeeping and cooperation with tax advisers and auditors.
Your day and scope
Planning and forecasts, analysing revenue and cost development, cash management, alignment with leadership and function owners, working with external partners such as tax advisers, and building processes and ownership in finance. You handle financial data confidentially and under clear rules.
Boundaries: You own financial planning, reporting, cash and building the finance organisation. Company strategy and investment decisions are made by leadership – you prepare them thoroughly.
Your first 90 days
First 30 days
Understand the business model, revenue streams, cost structure, existing bookkeeping and external partners; name the biggest gaps in numbers and processes.
By day 60
Set up a first plan with transparent assumptions and a regular cash view; deliver a first version of monthly reporting.
By day 90
Run planning, reporting and cash management on a steady rhythm and present a build-out plan for the finance function.
What you bring
- Several years of experience in finance, FP&A or controlling.
- Confident with planning, reporting and cash management.

- Ability to make numbers understandable for non-finance people.
What you can learn with us
- Our offers and revenue logic in detail.
- Our specific tool stack.
When this role is less of a fit
You are looking for an established finance department with finished processes, or only want to work strategically without getting into the numbers yourself.
Compensation and conditions
We only commit to compensation, contract type, working hours and location once they are approved. We will tell you all of it concretely in the first call, before you invest time in further steps.
Your application process
Short application
Name, email and your answer to the role's entry question. CV optional.

A personal conversation about the role, conditions and your questions. We cover compensation and location concretely here.
Work sample
An announced, time-boxed task: using fictional figures of a sample company, build a compact planning overview with assumptions and two scenarios. No real Peak Atlas data, no unpaid work. People assess traceability, plausibility and clarity of the recommendation.
Decision
A person decides, never an AI. You always get a response.
