Are you ready to live smarter, not harder?
At Aavalabs, we're on a mission to empower people to achieve their full potential through high-quality, scientifically backed nutritional supplements. We're a vibrant, fully remote company with a global team, and we believe in bringing our values to work every day: being lighthearted in how we connect, generous in how we share knowledge, and tenacious in our pursuit of improvement.
If you're passionate about well-being, innovation, and making a real impact, then you might just be the perfect fit for our growing family!
We are seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented financial professional to join our ambitious journey. This is a strategic and high-impact role where you'll act as the financial architect of our growth.
Reporting directly to the CEO, the Financial Planning & Analysis Manager is a new, crucial position dedicated to providing the precise financial expertise and strategic borderless insights required to support Aavalabs' international expansion and scalable growth.
You are a self-motivated and tenacious thinker, constantly in the search of learning and process optimization. While Aavalabs thrives on a remote-first, adaptable culture, this role requires you to be based in the Helsinki area to provide necessary in-person support and assist the CEO with signatures and legal paperwork.
As our FP&A Manager, you will be expected to take a proactive, hands-on approach, transforming complex data into clear, actionable narratives.

Continuously innovate and improve processes to maintain a simple, scalable, and robust financial structure—helping us live smarter, not harder.

Finnish Financial Legislation: Non-negotiable working knowledge of and experience with Finnish financial laws and regulations, ensuring our strategy and processes are perfectly aligned.
