(Senior) Finance Manager*in (m/w/d)

Our mission at HEY HOLY: Taking dog health to the next level through nutrition. Instead of one-size-fits-all, we focus on breed-specific, functional food – developed with veterinarians and with the goal of enabling every dog to live a long, healthy life.

What began as an idea in 2022 is today a rapidly growing DTC subscription model serving over 20,000 dogs. Our 15-person team is set to grow to over 35 by the end of 2026 – now is the perfect time to join.
Our standard isn't just managing numbers – we want to build financial structures that have real impact: for our growth, our decisions, and our long-term stability. Processes that don't just convince functionally, but inspire through transparency and clarity – and turn complex data into actionable insights.

That's where we need you. If you have a passion for finance and process optimization – and want to build a finance setup that enables and drives our growth: Let's talk.

Tasks

From our Frankfurt office:

• You coordinate and execute daily finance operations – from payments to ensuring smooth transactional processes
• You perform pre-closing activities for the monthly close and coordinate the full closing cycle with our external accounting firm (Steuerberatungsbüro)
• You take ownership of cost controlling: ensuring accuracy of reports, enabling transparent data sharing, and proactively identifying improvement opportunities to drive profitability
• You take ownership of building and scaling our finance function: identifying manual processes, introducing new tools and technologies, and continuously improving workflows to create a finance setup that can support our next stage of growth
• You monitor cashflow, maintain a rolling 13-week forecast, and provide management with forward-looking insights to support business decisions and sustainable growth
• You act as the key contact point for external finance stakeholders as well as for internal teams on finance-related requests and projects

Requirements

• Experience: A degree in Accounting, Finance, Management or similar is a plus, but equivalent practical experience is equally valued — you bring at least 2-3 years of experience in the finance field, ideally in audit/consulting and start-ups (or similar dynamic environments). You know how a balance sheet looks like and you can read a cashflow report. You understand the implications of business decisions on financials.
• Lifecycle Ownership: You have already managed finance processes across the full cycle – from daily operations and cashflow monitoring to monthly closings, controlling, and enabling management with forward-looking insights
• Project-driven, tech-oriented & builder mindset: You see finance as more than accountin
