CFO (all genders)

Homaris exists to solve one of the most persistent problems in modern cities: People from abroad need places to live, work, and just feel at home. We build and operate fully digitised serviced apartments across Germany´s major cities – next step: Europe and beyond.
And a product vision — the nanopartment® — that reimagines what urban stays can look like in the smallest possible space. 

Revenue triples within two years — organically. No venture capital. No exit strategy. We are in this for the long run, and we build accordingly. 

Extraordinary people make this happen - and we're looking for one more.

As our CFO, you are responsible for all finance processes and decisions, and for growing the finance function across the Homaris Group from our Berlin office. You will have a great deal of freedom to build processes and structures, and you will play a decisive role in the company's growth by securing external financing and therefore our liquidity.

This is a role with full ownership. You will shape how we budget, forecast, and steer the business, and you will prepare the finance function for the next stage of our expansion.

If you've done this before in a demanding environment and you're looking for a place where the stakes are real and the room to grow is genuine, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Lead and structure the team. You lead the entire finance team and build it further in preparation for future expansion.

Own budgeting, forecasting and liquidity. You take full ownership of budgeting and forecasting, and you develop short- and medium-term financial planning to secure the company's liquidity. You also manage payment flows.

Assess investments. You prepare profitability analyses for planned and realised investments.

Build company-wide controlling. This includes overseeing financial accounting, preparing and presenting actuals, analysing budget versus actuals, forecasting, and monitoring the liquidity position.

Secure financing. You evaluate equity and debt financing, lead fundraising, hold discussions with banks and investors, and manage investor relationships.

Digitalise finance. You drive the digitalisation of finance processes and establish the processes that go with it, automating and enabling AI where it makes sense to do so.

Qualifications and skillset. You have a (university of applied sciences) degree in business administration with a focus on finance or controlling, or a commercial apprenticeship with further training as a certified bookkeeper or controller, or an equivalent qualification. You also possess strong knowledge of finance and tax law, particularly under German GAAP (HGB), and are well versed in DATEV.

Leadership and growth. You have at least five years of experience in finance and accounting, including leadership responsibility, ideally in a company with organic growth. You plan, organise, and implement with strength, and you think and act like an entrepreneur.

Ownership and commitment. You bring a structured, independent, and responsible way of working, and a high level of commitment. You take ownership of outcomes and are confident and reliable.

Tech affinity. You have a keen interest in digitalisation and continuously strive to implement AI and digital solutions, to save the team time and help them work in the most efficient way possible.

Languages: German at native level (C2) and English at least at C1.

Homaris is a company with the maximum of long-term orientation. We don't burn cash to grow fast and sell. We build something real, and we expect the people who join us to want to build it with us — not to optimise for others. 

The pace is high. The problems are real. The team is small enough that every person matters. 

We're not always great at seeing and celebrating our wins. But we're working on it — and we'd love your help with that.

We define levels by the work you own and the decisions you're accountable for, not by your title or years of experience. 

Beyond that: we've thought carefully about what people actually need to do their best work and live well — and we've built a benefits package that reflects that. Health, mobility, development, flexibility, and a few perks that come with being in the travel and hospitality business. Not much is missing. 

We'll walk you through the details when we meet.

If this opportunity resonates with you, we’d be glad to learn more about your experience and perspective.  

We will just need your CV and a short answer to the following 3 questions:

1. Why Homaris?
2. Given that we are owner-led and grow organically, what is one thing you would do differently here, based on what you've learned in past roles?
3. What could we learn from you?

Please include at least two references in your application to speed things up.
