About Finom
Finom is a European tech startup headquartered in Amsterdam, and we’re on a journey towards revolutionizing the financial landscape for entrepreneurs worldwide. Our mission is to develop an all-in-one financial B2B solution that integrates banking functions, accounting, financial management, and invoicing into a seamless, mobile-first platform.
We recently closed a €115 million Series C equity round (around $133 million), bringing our total funding to approximately $346 million. This significant investment follows a $105 million growth funding round from General Catalyst, a long-term backer since 2021 known for supporting companies like Airbnb, HubSpot, KAYAK, and Stripe.
Finom's platform goes beyond traditional banking, offering invoicing and a growing suite of features, including AI-enabled accounting, aiming to simplify financial management for entrepreneurs. We're actively expanding our reach across key EU markets like Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain.
At Finom, we’re not just redefining the entrepreneurial experience — we’re empowering our employees to make a real difference. Your work matters, and your impact extends far beyond product metrics. We nurture innovation and an inspiring work environment where bold ideas thrive, prioritizing thorough research, swift implementation of solutions, and ensuring that every effort we make benefits our users, employees, partners, and our business as a whole.
Maintaining our start-up spirit, we prioritize thorough research, swift implementation of solutions, and ensuring that every effort we make benefits our users, employees, partners, and, of course, our business.

About the Role

You'll own Finom's finance infrastructure: the accounting ERP, the processes that run through it, the integrations that connect it, and the controls that govern it. You'll lead our ERP implementation to go-live, redesign the manual workflows holding us back, and build the reporting infrastructure that gives the business reliable financial visibility.

Key Responsibilities

    ERP & Systems

  • Lead the NetSuite implementation end-to-end: own the strategy, administration, and optimization
  • Ensure accurate data flow across systems (ERP, procurement, expense, reporting)
  • Serve as the primary finance owner for all system requirements, UAT, and change management
  • Evaluate and evolve the broader finance systems landscape as the business scales

    • Process & Automation

  • Drive process improvements and automation across core workflows: P2P/O2C/R2R
  • Identify manual bottlenecks across the finance function and lead automation initiatives to eliminate them
  • Build and maintain automated management and financial reporting infrastructure
  • Document and standardize operating procedures across finance operations

    • Finance–IT Bridge

  • Translate business and finance requirements into system configurations and technical solutions
  • Coordinate with IT and external implementation partners on projects and integrations

Role Objectives

  • Reduce manual effort in accounting, procurement, and reporting through automation
  • Proven ability to design and improve finance workflows and eliminate manual work
  • Own and drive the NetSuite implementation and ongoing optimization
  • Build and maintain a robust internal controls framework across all legal entities
  • Build automated financial reporting processes that give the business reliable financial visibility without manual effort
  • Identify the highest-pain manual processes in finance and systematically eliminate them

Requirements

  • 6–8+ years in finance operations, accounting, or related roles - ideally in a regulated financial institution or high-growth fintech
  • Hands-on ERP experience - NetSuite strongly preferred; having led or co-led an implementation is a strong plus
  • Strong understanding of core finance processes: P2P, O2C, R2R
  • Proven ability to design and improve finance workflows and eliminate manual work
  • Comfortable translating between finance requirements and technical solutions
  • Strong project ownership - you drive to completion without being chased
  • Fluency in English (required); additional EU language (Dutch, German, French) is a plus
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, multi-entity, multi-currency environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience in a DNB- or EBA-regulated entity (EMI, bank, payment institution)
  • Familiarity with FINREP or Dutch prudential reporting requirements
  • Exposure to intercompany accounting and transfer pricing in multi-entity structures
  • Background in Three Lines of Defense model and internal audit coordination

What You'll Be Working On in Year One

  • NetSuite go-live: complete entity configuration, approval workflows, and process integrations
  • P2P framework: launch and maintain
  • Automation roadmap: identify top-5 manual processes for elimination; execute on at least 3

Team Context

    This role sits within the Finance Operations functional block, alongside the Accounting & Regulatory Reporting and Business Partnering teams. You will work closely with:

  • CFO - strategic alignment and escalation path
  • Head of Accounting & Regulatory Reporting - month-end close, audit readiness, regulatory overlap
  • FinOps / Controlling Lead - day-to-day operational coordination
  • HR - payroll data flows
