Role
Who you are
- Degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Accounting, or similar
- 5–6 years in FP&A, Controlling, Audit, or Accounting — ideally in a scale-up. Big 4 alumni with scale-up controlling experience are a great fit
- Strong controlling and accounting fundamentals (capitalization, accruals, chart-of-accounts)
- Proven ability to build serious financial models
- Multi-entity / intra-group experience is a plus
- Comfortable challenging non-finance stakeholders constructively
- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets. Looker, Tableau, DATEV, or Pivot are a plus
- Fluent English; German is a bonus
- Rigor & Accounting Fluency: Spots accuracy issues in the P&L; understands what drives the numbers down to the chart-of-accounts level
- Business Partnering at Head to VP Level: Communicates clearly with Heads across functions; pushes back constructively on budget owners; brings finance into business decisions, not after them
- Builder Mindset & Process Design: Designs procurement processes, intra-group recharge mechanics and capitalization workflows that hold up as the company grows
- Ownership & Execution: Delivers monthly cycles consistently: intangibles, overhead variance, recharges
- Curiosity Across Scopes: Eager to expand from overhead into operational scopes as the function scales, ready to broaden their impact
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Senior FP&A & Controlling Analyst to join our team at a pivotal moment of growth
- Reporting to the Director of Finance, you'll be the financial owner of our overhead functions — starting with Tech and Group Functions, with plenty of room to grow into broader scopes as you do
- This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you'll partner directly with VPs across the company, design financial frameworks from the ground up, and help modernize how finance operates at Tourlane
- Own the overhead P&L for Tech and Group Functions — budgeting, variance analysis, and headcount planning
- Run the intangibles capitalization cycle in close collaboration with Product, Engineering, and Accounting
- Build the allocation key framework from scratch — design the methodology, defend the logic, and operate it monthly
- Lead the corporate procurement process — approvals, payments, renewals, and protecting cash flow
- Sharpen P&L accuracy by partnering with Accounting on accruals and adjustments
- Build and evolve financial models — workforce models, overhead budgets, and beyond
- Business partner at VP level across Tech, People, Legal, Office Management and more — challenge plans, surface trade-offs
- Modernize the function by automating workflows and shaping the tooling roadmap
Our take
In-person travel agents have been hit hard in recent years, meaning many people are losing out on top-tier service when it comes to planning their vacations. Tourlane solves this problem by offering customers the full travel agent experience online.
The company plans and books multi-day trips for individuals and small groups, and has maintained a laser-sharp focus on customer-centric service. This approach has worked well for the company, which is now backed by a number of high-profile entrepreneurs within the travel industry, including the founders of Trivago and Airbnb. The funding and credibility these backers have provided have allowed Tourlane to invest heavily in its technology, ensuring customers have more flexibility in their travel arrangements.
Since receiving substantial Series D funding in 2024, the company has remained steadfast on its course. Its focus now is on expanding into new markets and enhancing its AI technology as it navigates the evolving landscape of its industry.
