(Senior) Controlling Manager (f/m/d)

At Moss, we give finance professionals the power to automate their day-to-day and make forward-thinking decisions.

Our team and culture make us unique — we’re driven by impact and growth, where every one of us strives to learn and excel. Recognised by Sifted’s Rising 100 and LinkedIn's Top Startups, we’re here to help propel your career and together, make Moss a lasting success.

Our Finance team is looking for a (Senior) Controlling Manager (f/m/d) to strengthen our financial reporting and planning foundations as we scale. You will play a critical part in ensuring that our financial reporting and planning processes are robust, scalable, and decision-useful. Reporting into the Director of FP&A, you’ll join a lean, high-impact team operating at the intersection of B2B SaaS and payments.

Your responsibilities

Here's a bit more on what you can expect to be doing day-to-day:

• Monthly financial reporting: Own the preparation and finalisation of our monthly management accounts, including full monthly P&L and balance sheet reviews, quality controls, deviation analysis, and supporting commentary for senior management.

• Reporting excellence: Drive continuous improvement of our financial reporting framework across P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, to ensure it is economically meaningful and decision-useful for group-wide and entity-level planning purposes.

• Forecasting and Planning: Build and maintain strong cost forecasting and planning models to continuously ensure full cost visibility and to enable informed trade-offs on investment and hiring decisions, and continuously improve capital efficiency across our P&L and cost structure.

• Cost controlling: Drive continuous improvements in cost controlling and procurement processes in order to ensure transparency, strengthen spending discipline, and ensure capital is deployed where it has the highest impact on the business.

• Process automation: Identify opportunities to automate, standardize, and simplify core financial reporting processes, while also increasing reliability and transparency using AI and other improvements in our tech stack.

About you

We think you’ll need the following experience and qualifications to succeed in this role:

• c. 2-5 years of relevant prior experience in a high-performing finance environment (e.g. transaction services, audit, startup, investment banking)

• Strong conceptual understanding of key financial accounting and reporting concepts, and a demonstrated proficiency in 3-statement financial analysis

• Excellent communication skills in English. German preferred.

In addition, here are the skills and attributes we are looking for:

• Business and financial judgment: You have a deep curiosity for how a business truly functions — including its operating model, cost structure, market positioning, and equity story — combined with the ability to translate performance into a coherent, connected understanding of P&L, balance sheet, and cash flows, and to use that understanding to inform sound decisions under uncertainty.

• Ownership and agency: You love taking ownership over outcomes end-to-end. You take educated decisions based on strong personal judgment when there is no clear right or wrong.

• High personal quality bar: You possess a consistently high internal and self-set standard that shows up as precise, well-thought-through work where details are handled in service of excellent outcomes, not perfection for its own sake.

• Depth of mastery: You’re internally driven to go beyond surface-level understanding and build real mastery where it matters. You’re dissatisfied with “good enough” and won’t let important questions remain only partially understood.

Collaborative communicator: You enjoy building trustworthy cross-functional partnerships and connections that are clearly aligned towards a shared goal. You leverage diverse perspectives in driving continuous improvement in our financial processes and outcomes.
