Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Job description

🚀 Who are we? GoDutch is redefining how business finance should work. Traditional business finance has not kept up with the reality of modern companies. Entrepreneurs and finance teams still lose hours every week to manual admin, spreadsheets, and fragmented tools. We believe it should be faster, fairer, and simpler. A single account that saves time and money, backed by real human support and powered by smart automation. That is the standard we are building, with speed, service, and AI at the core. In just one and a half years, GoDutch has scaled rapidly. We now support more than 14,000+ active business users who process over €2 billion annually through our platform. Over the past year alone, we grew tenfold, driven by companies switching to GoDutch to cut their finance administration time by up to 70 percent. Joining GoDutch means being part of a fast growing fintech at a defining moment. We are looking for people with strong ownership, high standards, and the ambition to challenge an outdated status quo. You will help build robust, scalable technology that delivers real value for businesses, while contributing to a more transparent and sustainable financial system. 👤 About the role This is an executive leadership role responsible for GoDutch’s financial strategy, capital structure, and financial governance as we scale across Europe. As CFO, you partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to drive long-term value creation, ensure financial and regulatory robustness, and represent the company at board and regulator level. You combine strategic vision with deep execution strength in a regulated fintech environment. 📈 What does success look like? Own and drive GoDutch’s financial strategy by shaping capital structure, aligning finance with long-term company strategy, and supporting the CEO on key strategic and growth decisions. Lead regulatory finance at scale by owning regulatory capital and safeguarding requirements, ensuring compliance with prudential rules, managing financial regulatory reporting, and acting as a senior counterpart to regulators. Ensure financial integrity and audit excellence by owning audited financial statements, managing the audit process end-to-end, maintaining robust internal controls, and overseeing tax strategy and compliance. Strengthen risk management and governance by working closely with risk and compliance leadership, identifying and mitigating financial risks, participating in governance committees, and supporting board-level decision-making. Act as a trusted executive leader by providing clear financial insight to the board, investors, and regulators, enabling confident decisions as GoDutch scales in complexity, geography, and ambition. ✅ What's in it for you? Competitive compensation with performance based bonuses for commercial roles. Flexible and modern work environment from our vibrant office on Rokin, Amsterdam’s fintech avenue, right next door to Adyen. Strong team culture and free lunch because we build GoDutch together, with regular fun team events and moments to celebrate wins. Real, visible impact your work directly helps businesses save time, reduce admin, and grow. You see the results every day. All hardware including laptops, monitors, and everything you need to do great work from day one. Fast learning and personal growth in a high impact environment where ownership and initiative truly matter. Equity participation ESOP can be discussed for senior roles or after building up tenure, so you share in the upside of what you help build. GoDutch is not just a place to work. It is a place to build, challenge the status quo, and grow alongside an ambitious team. 💙 Equal Opportunities At GoDutch, we believe great teams are built on diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We welcome applicants regardless of background, identity, or life path. What matters most to us is how you think, how you work, and how you treat others. If you feel you might be too junior for a role, we still encourage you to apply, motivation, curiosity, and potential matter just as much as experience. And if you don’t see a role that fits you perfectly, feel free to send us an open application. We’re always happy to meet great people. Questions? Always feel free to reach out. We’re happy to talk, clarify, or think along with you. Caring is one of our founding principles, and that starts with how we treat people who are curious about joining GoDutch.
