Part-time CFO

As our Part-time CFO, you will be responsible for SnerpaPower’s financial management, planning and reporting.  

You’ll work closely with the CEO and leadership team on financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting and decision support, while ensuring that the company’s financial processes and reporting are accurate, efficient and scalable.  

This is a hands-on role. We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable discussing financial strategy with the Board, building financial models and forecasts, and making sure the fundamentals of our finance function work exceptionally well.

The role is initially part-time, with the scope and time commitment developing alongside the company.

Your Responsibilities

• Own financial planning, budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow management.  
• Develop and maintain financial models that support strategic and operational decision-making.  
• Prepare clear and insightful financial reporting for the leadership team and Board.  
• Monitor financial performance, SaaS metrics, cash runway and key business drivers.  
• Support the CEO and leadership team with financial analysis and strategic decision-making.  
• Oversee accounting, annual accounts, audit, tax and other financial compliance in collaboration with external partners.  
• Strengthen financial controls, processes and systems as the company scales.  
• Support commercial decision-making, including pricing, contracts and business cases
• Support grant reporting and other financing-related activities where relevant.  
• Contribute to future fundraising, investor reporting and financing processes.  
• Help build the financial infrastructure required to support SnerpaPower's international growth.

We're looking for someone who combines strong financial expertise with a pragmatic, entrepreneurial mindset.

You enjoy working in a growing company where not everything has already been built. You know when financial rigour is essential, but you also understand that an early-stage company needs simple, effective processes rather than unnecessary complexity.

You are comfortable moving between the strategic and the practical—from discussing growth scenarios and capital requirements to diving into the numbers yourself.

Experience & Qualifications

You likely have:

• Significant experience in senior finance roles, such as CFO, Finance Director, Head of Finance or similar.  
• Strong experience with budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow management and financial modelling.  
• Experience preparing financial reporting and decision support for management teams and Boards.  
• A strong understanding of accounting, financial controls and corporate finance.  
• Experience working with growing technology, SaaS or internationally expanding companies is highly desirable.  
• Experience with fundraising, investor reporting, grants or venture-backed companies is an advantage.  
• An understanding of SaaS business models and metrics is an advantage.  
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate financial information into clear business insights.  
• Excellent communication skills in English. Icelandic is an advantage.  
• A hands-on approach and willingness to work across both strategic and operational finance.
