Head Finance/Accounting

We build the future of SME finance through our Teylor Lending Platform, operating as both a direct digital lender and a technology partner empowering traditional financial institutions.
Our momentum has been on the rise through major strategic moves — securing up to €275 million in debt financing in 2023, acquiring German competitor Creditshelf in May 2024, and most recently integrating Grenke AG's entire factoring division across seven European countries in April 2025. We are becoming THE leading European SME financing platform.
We're looking for a hands-on Head of Finance (m/w/d) who gets things done. Your job is to turn complexity into clarity and fragmented setups into one scalable finance engine and make it work in day-to-day operations.
