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 We are looking for people with strong ownership, high standards, and the ambition to challenge an outdated status quo.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.

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.
