Corporate Finance Manager

We are looking for a Corporate Finance Manager to join Finom's Corporate Finance team.

This is not FP&A. The team is small and senior — business analytics, M&A and investor relations, and financial modelling infrastructure. You will be the fourth member, working directly with the VP of Finance across the topics that sit above the planning cycle.

The most distinctive part of this role is regulatory financial modelling. Finom operates through regulated entities across Europe and is moving up the licensing ladder: banking licence, payment institution and EMI permissions, own funds and capital planning, safeguarding. Each of those steps requires a financial projection that a regulator reads line by line and challenges. Someone has to build it, defend it under questioning, and keep it alive as the business changes underneath it. That is the core of this job.

The rest is broader corporate finance — strategic projects, business cases, board and investor materials, business partnering, and M&A support when a deal is live. The mix moves with company priorities. If you want a narrow lane, this is not it.

What you'll own

Regulatory and licensing models — the primary mandate

• Financial projections for banking licence and payment institution / EMI applications: P&L, balance sheet, capital and liquidity, built on a basis regulators accept

• Own funds and regulatory capital planning — requirements, headroom, and behaviour under growth and stress

• Safeguarding and payment buffer modelling across regulated entities

• Direct support to legal, compliance and regulatory teams through the application and Q&A cycle — defending assumptions and reworking projections against real deadlines

• Keeping licence and capital models reconciled to the company financial model and to actuals, rather than drifting into a parallel universe

Strategic finance and special projects

• Business cases and investment cases for new markets, products and initiatives

• Scenario and sensitivity analysis for the CEO, CFO and Supervisory Board

• Profitability and unit economics analysis at product, segment and market level

• Board and investor materials — the numbers and the argument that sits behind them

• Fundraising support: model preparation, diligence responses, investor questions

• M&A workstreams when a transaction is live — valuation, structuring analysis, diligence support

Business partnering and analysis

• Partnering selected functions on planning, cost and investment decisions

• Ad-hoc analysis where the question matters more than the format

Who you are

• 4+ years in corporate finance, strategic finance, financial modelling, transaction services, or the finance function of a bank or fintech

• You have built or materially maintained sophisticated financial models for a bank, fintech or financial institution — not only operated someone else's

• Exposure to regulatory financial models: licence applications, capital planning, ICAAP/ILAAP, or regulatory reporting. This is the differentiator for this role

• Exceptional Excel / Google Sheets modelling — structure, transparency, error-proofing; you build models other people can pick up

• Excellent working command of the three financial statements and how they interact

• Understanding of banking or fintech economics: interchange, net interest income, funding, capital

• Extreme attention to detail and healthy perfectionism — a wrong number in a regulatory submission is expensive

• Structured thinking and an ownership mentality; you close the loop without being chased

• Comfortable working independently with the CFO, CEO and board-level stakeholders

• Strong written and verbal English

Nice to have

• SQL and familiarity with BI tools (Metabase, Looker, Tableau)

• Python

• Hands-on use of AI tools (LLMs, copilots) in modelling, analysis and reporting workflows

• Treasury, capital management or regulatory reporting background

• Experience in a firm pursuing or holding a banking licence

• Big Four, investment banking or consulting foundation followed by an in-house fintech role
