Lead of Finance Operations

About the Role

You'll own Finom's finance infrastructure: the accounting ERP, the processes that run through it, the integrations that connect it, and the controls that govern it. You'll lead our ERP implementation to go-live, redesign the manual workflows holding us back, and build the reporting infrastructure that gives the business reliable financial visibility.

Key Responsibilities

ERP & Systems

• Lead the NetSuite implementation end-to-end: own the strategy, administration, and optimization

• Ensure accurate data flow across systems (ERP, procurement, expense, reporting)

• Serve as the primary finance owner for all system requirements, UAT, and change management

• Evaluate and evolve the broader finance systems landscape as the business scales

Process & Automation

• Drive process improvements and automation across core workflows: P2P/O2C/R2R

• Identify manual bottlenecks across the finance function and lead automation initiatives to eliminate them

• Build and maintain automated management and financial reporting infrastructure

• Document and standardize operating procedures across finance operations

Finance–IT Bridge

• Translate business and finance requirements into system configurations and technical solutions

• Coordinate with IT and external implementation partners on projects and integrations

Role Objectives

• Reduce manual effort in accounting, procurement, and reporting through automation

• Proven ability to design and improve finance workflows and eliminate manual work

• Own and drive the NetSuite implementation and ongoing optimization

• Build and maintain a robust internal controls framework across all legal entities

• Build automated financial reporting processes that give the business reliable financial visibility without manual effort

• Identify the highest-pain manual processes in finance and systematically eliminate them

Requirements

• 6–8+ years in finance operations, accounting, or related roles - ideally in a regulated financial institution or high-growth fintech

• Hands-on ERP experience - NetSuite strongly preferred; having led or co-led an implementation is a strong plus

• Strong understanding of core finance processes: P2P, O2C, R2R

• Proven ability to design and improve finance workflows and eliminate manual work

• Comfortable translating between finance requirements and technical solutions

• Strong project ownership - you drive to completion without being chased

• Fluency in English (required); additional EU language (Dutch, German, French) is a plus

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, multi-entity, multi-currency environment

Nice to Have

• Experience in a DNB- or EBA-regulated entity (EMI, bank, payment institution)

• Familiarity with FINREP or Dutch prudential reporting requirements

• Exposure to intercompany accounting and transfer pricing in multi-entity structures

• Background in Three Lines of Defense model and internal audit coordination

What You'll Be Working On in Year One

• NetSuite go-live: complete entity configuration, approval workflows, and process integrations

• P2P framework: launch and maintain

• Automation roadmap: identify top-5 manual processes for elimination; execute on at least 3
