About Germin8
Germin8 is a Virtual CFO and finance advisory firm for funded founders, seed to pre-Series B. We are the embedded finance partner founders use when a full-time CFO is too early or too expensive, but the decisions cannot wait.
Clients are funded startups across SaaS, EdTech, D2C and Manufacturing. We own their finance function end-to-end until they are ready for a permanent CFO.
Founded by a dynamic and very diversified CA, has 13+ years experience including 6 at EY. We are building the team from the ground up.
The Role
The strategic-finance side of Germin8. You will sit next to client founders on financial planning, unit economics, fundraise readiness, investor decks, board reporting and post-funding capital deployment.
No monthly closes. You will be building the model the next round will be raised on, prepping board meetings, pressure-testing the hiring plan and helping founders say yes or no to decisions that compound.
What You Will Do
- Build financial models for clients: unit economics, three-statement, scenarios, cap tables and fundraise plans
- Prepare investor decks, data rooms and diligence materials for fundraises (Seed to Series B)
- Drive fundraise readiness: pricing the round, mapping investors and prepping the founder
- Support live fundraises: investor outreach, term sheet evaluation, diligence response and close coordination
- Build board packs and investor updates
- Run strategic-finance work inside clients: capital allocation, pricing, growth economics, runway and hiring stress-tests
- Conduct market and competitive research for client strategic initiatives
- Drive business development: pitch preparation, prospect research, proposal development and converting inbound interest into engagements
- Use AI tools to accelerate research, modelling, deck production and diligence workflows
- Build playbooks that scale across engagements
Who We Are Looking For
- CA with 1 to 4 years post-qualification
- Background in IB, transaction advisory, Big 4 deals or strategy, VC/PE ecosystem, corporate finance or in-house finance at a funded startup
- Strong financial modelling: three-statement, DCF and scenarios. Battle-tested, not academic.
- Excellent decks. Can make a founder look credible in front of investors.
- Comfortable with founders, board members and VC partners in the room
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint
- Active user of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, research and automation platforms) in day-to-day work
- Business curiosity. Reads about the companies you work with. Asks why before how.
Qualitative Attributes We Hire For
- Problem-solver: frames the question before solving it.
- Founder-friendly: translates finance into decisions, not jargon.
- Business acumen: understands the company, market and deal. Not just the model.
- Execution-oriented: brief on Monday, board-ready deliverable by Thursday.
- Multiple hats: model-builder is also meeting-runner, deck-designer and diligence-responder.
- AI-forward: actively looks for what can be automated or streamlined.
