Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards. As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously. We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams - and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications. The role Finance at Helsing is being built from first principles. There are no legacy systems, no inherited processes, and no established playbooks. As FP&A Team Lead, you will be one of the first senior finance hires and will shape the function from the ground up - designing the planning infrastructure, the reporting architecture, the capital model, and the financial narrative that will take Helsing through its next phase of growth and towards a public listing. This is not a role where you will inherit a tool stack or a process. You will build both. Working as a financial partner to the CEO and VP Business Finance, you will produce the numbers that steer the business, the models that support capital allocation decisions, and the investor-grade reporting that positions Helsing for IPO. You will operate at the intersection of defence contract economics - cost-plus, time and materials, fixed-price, government milestone billing - and modern financial architecture. You will need to understand both, model both, and explain both to a Board that includes some of the most sophisticated investors in European technology. The day-to-day Own the annual budget and multi year long range plan across all business units, domains and geographies. Build and maintain a rolling 12 month forecast updated monthly, with full P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and capital plan integration. Design scenario models (bull / base / bear) that stress test revenue against contract win rates, programme timelines and geopolitical variables. Lead the monthly financial review cycle - packaging actuals vs forecast vs budget with clear variance analysis and management commentary. Own overhead cost tracking and cross functional cost allocation models, ensuring programme margins are correctly stated. IPO Readiness & Investor Reporting Build the financial model underpinning Helsing's IPO equity story - revenue quality, gross margin trajectory, EBITDA bridge, cash burn and path to profitability. Develop and maintain the investor KPI dashboard: ARR, NRR, contract backlog, revenue per employee and gross margin by product line and domain. Prepare investor reporting, board packs and capital markets materials to the standard expected by institutional investors. Capital & Strategic Finance Build and own the capital allocation framework - how Helsing decides which programmes, markets and M&A targets to invest in. Model CAPEX vs OPEX trade offs for major investment decisions including facility expansion, owned hardware platforms and data centre infrastructure. Analyse and propose capital optimisation levers including lease vs own, build vs buy, and government grant or subsidised financing opportunities (EIB, export credit agencies, national defence industrial funds).

From Finance Manager to CFO: The Skills that Redefine the Modern Finance Career Path 8 min read October 4, 2025 Introduction Reaching the Chief Financial Officer level remains one of the most visible milestones in a finance career. Yet the path from Finance Manager to CFO is rarely linear. What was once an upward move through accounting and reporting roles has evolved into a broader journey-one that requires fluency in strategy, valuation, governance, and commercial leadership. In today's finance functions, technical skill is essential but no longer sufficient. The modern CFO operates at the intersection of finance, strategy, and business transformation. Over the past decade, the expectations of finance leaders have shifted dramatically. Digitalisation, private capital growth, and cross-border competition have expanded the CFO's remit from stewarding financial statements to shaping corporate direction. Whether in listed companies, venture backed scale ups, or private equity portfolio firms, employers increasingly seek leaders who can connect operational performance with shareholder value. This structural change is redefining both career trajectories and the learning pathways professionals choose along the way. The Career Path: From Finance Manager to CFO Most professionals begin their senior finance journey in controllership, management reporting, or FP&A. The Finance Manager role typically consolidates technical oversight-accounting & financial reporting, forecasting, and compliance-while introducing the first layers of strategic exposure. Progression to Finance Director or Head of FP&A demands a shift toward business partnering. This implies aligning financial data with operational decisions, managing cross functional teams, and guiding capital allocation. These middle senior positions often mark the transition from pure analysis to influence in decision making. At the upper end of the ladder, the Group Controller or CFO role brings together three dimensions of leadership: strategic foresight, governance responsibility, and stakeholder communication. The CFO becomes both an internal advisor to the CEO and a public face to investors, boards, and lenders. Working at a PE or VC Backed Company or Startup In many private equity or venture capital backed companies, the VP Finance role often represents the highest level of financial and operational leadership before a formal finance department is fully established. At this stage, a deep understanding of how private equity operates and how governance frameworks function becomes essential. The VP Finance acts as the bridge between investors and founders-ensuring transparency, financial discipline, and accountability while supporting growth objectives and capital efficiency. In the most competitive markets-London, Paris, Milan, and Madrid-median compensation reflects this blend of accountability and strategic scope. Salaries typically rise from the mid 50k range at Finance Manager level to above £120k or €120k at the CFO level, with bonuses frequently adding 15-25 percent. The salary gap signals more than seniority; it represents the premium on business judgement and boardroom literacy. Each step on the salary ladder is associated with a distinct skill profile. Skills that Drive the Transition Advancing from Finance Manager to CFO requires mastery of both the science and the art of finance leadership. Analysis of senior level job descriptions across the UK and continental Europe reveals five recurring domains of expertise that consistently appear in high earning roles: Corporate Finance: Understanding capital structure, cost of capital, and investment appraisal is now fundamental. CFOs are expected to evaluate projects through NPV, IRR, and scenario analysis, integrating these insights into strategy rather than treating them as compliance exercises. Business Valuation: The ability to value companies, divisions, and strategic options underpins decision making in M&A and fundraising. Whether through discounted cash flow, comparables, or transaction multiples, valuation fluency signals boardroom readiness. Corporate Governance: Boards demand finance leaders who understand oversight frameworks, director duties, and audit committee dynamics. Governance knowledge is increasingly vital as CFOs become custodians of transparency and ethical decision making. Private Equity and Venture Capital Exposure: Many modern CFOs operate within PE backed or VC backed structures. Familiarity with investor reporting, capital calls, and exit strategies differentiates candidates capable of engaging private capital stakeholders. Mergers and Acquisitions: Strategic growth through acquisitions is common across Europe's mid market. Experience managing due diligence, synergy assessment, and post deal integration enhances a finance leader's credibility. Developing these skills systematically is what transforms financial managers into strategic partners. As many executives acknowledge, finance today is no longer just about slicing and dicing excels to present a P&L - which nowadays, thanks to advanced tools and business intelligence these are almost automated - it is more about direction and understanding of market dynamics. Valuefinex, provider of fractional CFO services in the UK and Europe said, "our fractional CFOs support private equity backed and Series A+ companies, where the role typically requires senior finance leaders to prioritise in the short term, the streamlining of the processes, enhancing information flow, and reducing back office manual and repetitive workload. The goal is to redirect those hours toward greater involvement in the commercial and strategic aspects of finance in the mid and long term." This convergence creates both opportunity and pressure. The route to CFO can accelerate for those who deliberately acquire cross functional exposure-leading system implementations, managing investor relations, or contributing to board committees. Conversely, remaining confined to traditional and routine financial control may limit career mobility. Strategic literacy-understanding how to interpret valuation drivers, evaluate capital structure decisions, and communicate governance implications-is increasingly recognised as a key differentiator for leadership succession. Finance professionals who can connect analytical insight with strategic context stand out as future CFOs. The Two Clear Paths to the CFO Role Many finance professionals aspire to reach the CFO level but often find themselves constrained by traditional, reporting driven roles. The challenge is not competence, it is exposure. Without deliberate development of strategic, commercial, and governance related skills, progression can plateau. In active markets such as London, where private equity and venture backed companies represent an important share of hiring, two main routes have emerged for professionals aiming to accelerate their trajectory. The first is to acquire the five core strategic competencies-corporate finance, business valuation, corporate governance, private equity or venture capital exposure, and M&A-through focused executive programmes designed to build decision level capability. The second is to pursue a more entrepreneurial route by taking on fractional CFO or interim finance leadership roles, a fast growing segment driven by high growth and PE backed companies seeking experienced guidance on finance and governance matters. Fractional CFO roles, in particular, are reshaping how senior finance expertise is deployed. These positions place leaders at the centre of dynamic, scaling businesses where every process improvement and strategic decision can multiply enterprise value. Companies in this space are not merely looking for financial reporting or complex Excel workbooks -they seek experienced finance leaders who can bring structure, discipline, and foresight to fast growing teams. The role often involves setting standards that allow the organisation to scale efficiently while maintaining control over risk, governance, and cash flow visibility. Equally important is the ability to act as a genuine business partner to the founding team and executive leadership-working cross functionally to align operations, finance, and strategy toward the next valuation milestone or growth target. Startup funding rarely happens all at once, instead it progresses through distinct stages as the business matures. Each funding round introduces new investors, ideally higher valuations, and increasingly formal expectations around governance and reporting. At each stage, the CFO plays a pivotal role in bridging investor confidence with operational reality, ensuring the company remains both growth oriented and well controlled.
