München
Full-time
Permanent employee

Your mission

Robots couldn’t handle soft materials.We fixed that.

Now we need someone who can handle the numbers behind it.

At sewts, we’re building the intelligence that allows robots to manipulate deformable materials—textiles, towels, and cables—with human-like precision. Our systems are already live across Europe, and we’re scaling into the US.

We’ve solved a problem most thought was impossible.

Now we’re turning that breakthrough into a category-defining company.

And for that, we need a finance leader who builds as fast as we do.

Your Role:

  • Own the financial backbone of sewts. Optimize it. Shape it. Scale it.

  • You’ll work directly with our leadership to turn technical breakthroughs into a bold, executable financial strategy—and make sure we have the structure to support rapid growth.

  • But this isn’t just about strategy.You ensure that everything stands on solid ground—from clean books to audit-ready structures.

  • Cash is king—and you’ll make sure we always know where we stand.

Your profile

What You'll Actually Do:

  • Own the entire finance and accounting function.
  • Ensure accurate, timely, and compliant accounting (HGB), together with external partners.
  • Take full responsibility for monthly reporting and annual closings.
  • Prepare financial statements and support audits and tax processes.
  • Optimize and scale accounting processes, systems (e.g. DATEV), and internal controls.
  • Shape financial planning, forecasting, and controlling.
  • Lead investor reporting and fundraising preparation.
  • Own and maintain an investor-ready data room, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and due diligence readiness at all times.
  • Drive cash management, liquidity planning, and runway control.
  • Act as the financial sparring partner to the leadership team.

Why us?

Who You Are:

  • 5+ years of experience in finance/accounting roles in high-growth environments (startup, VC/PE-backed, or similar).
  • Strong background in accounting, controlling, or audit (Big 4 or similar is a plus).
  • Deep understanding of HGB accounting, financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), and closing processes.
  • Hands-on experience with accounting tools (e.g. DATEV, finway) and building scalable finance processes.
  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset—you combine strategic thinking with a hands-on, detail-oriented approach.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to translate numbers into business insights.
  • Fluent in German (B2/C1+) and English (C1).

Why This Role:

  • Full ownership of finance and accounting at a critical growth stage.
  • Build a finance setup that scales from Series A to beyond.
  • Work alongside the CEO—your insights directly shape company strategy.
  • Hybrid work in Munich with built-in flexibility.
  • Competitive salary, VSOPs, flexible hours, Deutschlandticket, and EGYM Wellpass.
  • Professional development budget and freedom to build your function the right way.
  • Be part of a small, brilliant team tackling problems others wouldn't touch.

Reality Check: If you're looking to just "oversee" accounting—this isn't it. If you want to own it, build it properly, and make it scale—let's talk.
