Head of Finance (m/f/x)

Skeleton Technologies is looking for a hands-on

Head of Finance

to build and own the financial backbone of a company heading for a US listing.

As Head of Finance, you will own the reporting and accounting engine that has to carry this group through growth, a new US entity, and IPO readiness. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will lead a team, and you will also be in the numbers yourself.

How you can help us on the journey:
- Own group reporting under IFRS across our German, Finnish and Estonian entities, including the accounting judgement a hardware manufacturer actually needs: revenue recognition on multi-year module contracts with delivery, commissioning and service elements, R&D capitalisation, inventory and standard costing across two factories
- Deliver German statutory accounts under HGB and the reconciliation to group IFRS, and build towards US GAAP comparability as we scale into the US
- Own multi-entity consolidation and the monthly close
- Develop and maintain financial controls, risk management and compliance, and build the control environment that will stand up to public-market scrutiny
- Drive cash: forecasting, working capital, and hands-on collection together with our Sales team
- Manage audits, the accounting for our grant funding, and relationships with banks, auditors and third-party service providers
- Build, lead and develop a finance team globally as the company scales
- Report financial results and insights to the CFO and leadership team
