Do you want to lead the financial work of a growing consultancy with operations across three markets, and still be close enough to the numbers to own them yourself?
As CFO at Comprend, you will be responsible for financial reporting, controlling and analysis across Sweden, Finland and the UK. You will lead a small, skilled finance team and serve as a key member of the management team, providing the financial perspective needed to make sound business decisions.
This is not a pure leadership role. You will work hands-on with financial analysis, forecasting and reporting alongside your team. If you enjoy combining strategic influence with operational depth, this could be the right fit.
What you will doLead and support the finance team across Comprend's markets, working closely alongside the team in day-to-day operations
Own financial reporting and controlling, including monthly and quarterly reporting to the management team and to the Aura group
Carry out financial analysis, forecasting and controlling work hands-on
Provide decision support to the CEO and management team on profitability, cost structure, investments and risk
Drive budgeting and forecasting processes aligned with commercial and operational priorities
Ensure accounting, tax and compliance requirements are met across all markets
Continue and develop the use of AI-supported tools and methods within the finance team, building on work already underway to improve efficiency, accuracy and ways of working
Serve as an active member of the management team, contributing a financial and commercial perspective
You are a senior finance professional who takes ownership of the work, not just the oversight. You lead by being present and hands-on, creating clarity and conditions for your team to deliver while carrying a significant part of the operational work yourself. You have strong controlling skills and know how to own a reporting chain to group level. You understand the financial dynamics of a consulting or agency business and you communicate financial insight in a way that helps people make better decisions.
You have:
Proven experience in a senior financial role with responsibility for reporting, controlling and financial analysis
Strong controlling capability, including experience reporting to group level in a multi-entity or multi-market context
Experience leading and developing a finance team
Understanding of consulting or agency financials, including revenue recognition, utilisation and project economics
Experience with budgeting, forecasting and financial decision support to senior leadership
Interest in applying AI-supported tools to improve financial processes and analysis
Fluent Swedish and English
