[Hiring] Finance Business Partner @Everfield

Role Description

This is not a reporting role. It's ownership of the financial engine for a portfolio of growing software businesses. You'll be accountable end-to-end for the accounting integrity of your portfolio:

• Closing the books accurately.
• Building and leading a team of local finance experts to meet French statutory and regulatory requirements.
• Ensuring every number that reaches Everfield's leadership is right and on time.

You'll sit next to Business Unit Leaders as their financial conscience and commercial sparring partner:

• Coaching them on the numbers.
• Challenging their growth plans.
• Pushing them to allocate resources where they'll actually compound.

Everfield deliberately gives this role more scope than a typical FP&A or controller seat carries at this career stage:

• Running the accounting.
• Building and leading the regional finance team.
• Shaping how each business thinks about growth across multiple companies.

Qualifications

• An ambitious problem-solver who wants this role to be a stepping stone towards a CFO or Controller position.
• Strong technical grounding in accounting practices and controls.
• Commercial instinct to challenge growth plans.
• A completed university education plus a professional finance qualification (CA/ACA/CIMA or equivalent).
• 5+ years in Business Controlling, FP&A, or Finance Business Partnering.
• Ability to lead and build a team of regional finance specialists.
• Comfort operating in a decentralised, multi-entity, PE-backed environment.
• Fluent in English and French; effective communicator at every level of an organisation.
• Ideally, a background in fast-growing technology or SaaS companies.
• Willingness to travel occasionally.

Requirements

• Be accountable for the accuracy and timeliness of monthly reporting (management P&L, KPIs, operating metrics) for each business in your portfolio.
• Build and manage a team of local financial experts to meet French statutory and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Guide each business's finance and accounting team through migration onto Everfield's NetSuite instance.
• Own the accuracy and timeliness of the underlying accounting work behind every number you report.
• Build and defend annual budgets and rolling forecasts, incorporating strategic initiatives and long-term expectations.
• Prepare Quarterly Update Review (QUR) packs for Everfield's CEO, CFO, and COO.
• Coach Business Unit Leaders on financial acumen.
• Challenge and support Business Unit Leaders in applying Everfield's prescribed revenue system.
• Help each business spot operating efficiencies, report headcount accurately, and manage overhead with intent.
• Partner with Business Unit Leaders on charting expense management and aligning resources toward growth.
• Play an active role in integration of newly acquired businesses.
• Partner with your Strategic Business Partner (SBP) counterpart on the day-to-day relationship with each business in your region.

Benefits

• Attractive salary package with performance-based bonus.
• Remote flexibility.
• A collaborative team culture based on respect, ownership, and trust.
• Access to international experts within the Everfield ecosystem.
• Regular team events and company celebrations.

Interview Process
