AI-powered invoice-to-pay lifecycle automation
Finto is on a mission to reinvent how enterprises run their finance operations. Starting with AI-powered automation for accounts payable, we eliminate manual invoice handling, supplier chasing, 3-Way-Matching and ERP data entry. Backed by Y Combinator, we’re building the future of enterprise accounting.
Our mission is to free the world’s finance teams from repetitive, low-value tasks so they can focus on impactful work. That starts with building a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you’re building on our platform, partnering with our customers, or shaping our story: We just make things finance teams want.
We are looking for a Founders Associate to work directly with our CEO and shape how Finto operates and grows. This is not a support role — you'll be in the room where decisions happen, own real projects, and move fast across GTM, operations, and hiring. You'll drive enterprise sales processes, build the operational backbone of a scaling company, and help us hire the team that takes Finto to the next level.
If you want to learn what it really takes to build a company — and grow into a leadership role fast — this is it.
We're headquartered in Munich, with roots in San Francisco through Y Combinator.
Accompany our GTM motion: Work with the CEO on deals, build pipeline, and implement the basics of our first marketing — from outreach to messaging to follow-ups.
Run recruiting operations: Identify and approach top talent, run sourcing and screenings, and accompany the onboarding of new team members.
Build our internal ops: Design and improve internal structures and processes, ensuring we're running in sync as the team grows.
Work side-by-side with the CEO on daily business — removing blockers along the way, acting as a sparring partner on decisions big and small.
Context-switch constantly — no two weeks look the same. One day you're prepping a customer pitch, the next you're closing a hire.
1–3 years of experience in consulting, venture capital, high-growth startups, or a similarly demanding environment.
Degree from a top business school or university — strong academic track record in Business, Management, Economics, or a related field.
Exceptionally smart and structured thinker who can get up to speed on anything fast.
High agency — you don't wait to be told what to do, you figure it out and execute.
Strong communicator in German and English, comfortable working directly with founders in a high-speed environment.
Genuinely ambitious: you care about what you're building and want to grow into more responsibility over time.
Grit — things will be unclear, fast, and sometimes messy. You thrive in that.
An environment where we enable you to have an impact and where we focus on outcomes, not time-tracking
Career-defining growth: Big ambitions mean rapid progression, expanding responsibilities, and access to our San Francisco & YC network.
25 vacation days + 2 fixed “company recharge days.”
A vibrant in-office culture (5 days/week) in a modern office
Intro — 20 mins with our CEO
Challenge — 90 mins co-work / live challenge
Culture call with either our CTO or CPO
