Financial Controller (12 months fixed-term)

We 💛 small business

We founded Holvi in 2011, in Helsinki. As self-employed people wading through oceans of paperwork, we noticed something funny going on – traditional banks were giving us the cold shoulder. Why not help ourselves? We asked. And so, with time and effort (and lots of coffee), we mastered small business finance – and Holvi was born.

Our vision is simple: Eliminate the distractions of financial admin and simplify work life, because running a business is hard enough. Small businesses shouldn’t have to worry about spreadsheets and lost receipts.

Since our inception as a pioneering fintech, we've experienced our fair share of challenges and growth. We explored different paths, and from those experiences, we've evolved. Today, we stand as a team-owned company, proud of our journey. Read more about our story here (in Finnish).

Right now, we’re looking for a Financial Controller for a 12 month fixed term to join our team in Helsinki. If you want to help us make self-employment a little easier, Holvi is for you.
