Profile

René Horvath

Operator-CFO & Systems Builder

I combine corporate-finance discipline with the ability to build dashboards, automations and internal tools myself.

Approach

Finance must improve decisions.

Good management information is not the biggest model. It is the smallest dependable view that lets the CEO and board act in time.

I step in as interim and leave behind systems that keep running after I am gone.

Track Record

Three perspectives that belong together

WienMobil

Built an app prototype and sold it to Wiener Stadtwerke / Wiener Linien.

20 → 45 FTE

Built finance and operations infrastructure in a software SME; supported investor discussions and major grant funding.

IHG

Director of Finance & Business Support across P&L, forecasting, budgeting, IFRS and working capital.

Mandate profile

Where I create the most leverage

Digital companies and tech scale-ups with 20 to 80 people. Growing pains, fundraising, due diligence, a finance vacancy or a setup that no longer scales.

Focused on Zurich, Zug and Vienna, plus German-speaking Switzerland and Austria where the fit is right. Hybrid with focused on-site blocks.
