Description

About Insify We are a high-growth scale-up backed by €43M in total funding from world-class investors like Accel, Munich Re Ventures, and Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg. While we started our journey five years ago in the Netherlands, we have since expanded into France and Germany, and we’re just getting started. Our mission is to dominate the European market and become a global leader in AI-powered SME insurance. We aren't just building a company; we’re leading a revolution. Our culture is intense, high-stakes, and mission-driven. We hire smart, ambitious "owners" who possess a relentless drive to win. This is an environment for those who thrive on challenges, value intellectual honesty, and share our mindset of becoming a global category leader. Our founding team consists of seasoned entrepreneurs who have previously built iconic businesses like HelloFresh, Bloomon, and SumUp. We combine that deep fintech and e-commerce expertise with cutting-edge AI to stay ahead of the curve. \n What You’ll Be Up To (some examples): Manage day‑to‑day accounting operations, including processing invoices, preparing payments, and keeping ledgers accurate through timely journal entries. Perform periodic reconciliations across bank accounts, the general ledger, payroll,, and intercompany balances, while ensuring accurate and timely tax and VAT submissions. Carry out month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closing activities Produce clear, insightful financial reporting, including monthly management reports, investor updates, and variance analyses. Assist in the preparation of financial statements according to Dutch GAAP. Support statutory audit requests and communicate with external auditors. Strengthen financial processes by identifying risks, improving controls, and implementing scalable, efficient workflows. Lead and contribute to ad hoc projects as needed. Your Profile: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent. 2-3 years of experience in accounting or financial controlling. Proficiency with Microsoft and ERP systems (Exact is a strong plus). Good understanding of general accounting and financial control principles. Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, multicultural environment. Strong analytical skills with a structured approach and attention to detail. Proactive self-starter with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to work independently. Excellent oral and written communication skills in English. Who this is not for: You prioritize a 40-hour work week: We operate in a high-intensity 'startup-plus' environment. This isn't a standard 9-to-5; driving global impact here requires a level of dedication and 'always-on' spirit that goes well beyond the typical 40-hour work week. You prefer your comfort zone: We operate at the edge of our capabilities; if you aren't comfortable with constant change and being challenged, you won’t thrive here. You prefer to stay high-level: While this is a strategic role, no task is too small. If you aren't willing to roll up your sleeves and get into the "weeds" of execution, this isn't the right fit. A steep learning curve feels daunting: We move fast and use cutting-edge AI; you need to be an aggressive self-learner who can master new domains in days, not months. What we offer: Competitive compensation - we want to attract and retain the best so we are offering a compensation package that aligns with that. In-office - come join us in our HQ in the center of Amsterdam. Grow in a growing company - there’s no better place to develop your talents and learn new skills. Help us show the world that insurance can be simple, transparent and trustworthy. Experienced entrepreneurs - work with experienced and dedicated entrepreneurs as part of an international team. Energetic environment - as a start-up, we’re different from your usual insurers. We scale rapidly and you can pick your own initiatives, helping us grow as we help more and more customers across Europe. \n
