Our Vision

We are building the most popular Financial Operating System for small and medium-sized businesses in Europe.

Our goal is to relieve entrepreneurs of time-consuming tasks related to accounting and finance, while also giving them access to the most important financial information so they can make better decisions for their businesses.

At the same time, we support accounting firms in spending less time on repetitive tasks and focusing more on advising and supporting their clients.

More than 1,000,000 small and medium-sized businesses and over 6,500 accounting firms are already using Pennylane in France.

About Us

Pennylane is one of the fastest-growing FinTechs in France – and soon in Germany.

In just five years, we have:

• established ourselves as an innovative accounting and financial platform for companies and accounting firms,

• raised a total of 150 million euros in capital – from investors including Sequoia, the renowned Silicon Valley investor behind companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Stripe, and PayPal,

• grown our team from 7 founders to over 1,100 Pennylaners,

• created an international company culture with more than 25 nationalities,

• established a strong remote-first culture, where around 30% of our employees already work from anywhere in Europe,

• gained the trust of thousands of customers and accounting firms and received excellent reviews.

Today, with a Glassdoor rating of 4.6/5, we are considered one of the most attractive employers in Europe.

Pennylane Germany

In just 1.5 years, our Germany team has grown from a single squad to over 40 employees in the areas of Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing.

Our goal is to establish Pennylane as a permanent fixture in the German market. Together with innovative tax advisors and companies, we are further developing our product for the requirements of the German market and sustainably changing the way accounting and finance work in Germany.

As an independent market, we benefit from the support of our French teams while enjoying considerable freedom in shaping our goals, structures, processes, and products.

Design at Pennylane

Design is at the core of our mission. Our aspiration is to offer users a seamless, accessible, and inspiring product experience.

Our design team consists of over 40 Product Designers who work closely with Product and Engineering in interdisciplinary squads.

Autonomy, trust, and transparency form the foundation of our corporate culture and shape the daily work of our designers.

• You have experience with complex digital products and systems, for example, with multiple modules, extensive features, or complex data structures.

• You work closely with developers, Product Managers, and other stakeholders like Sales or Support, and can integrate technical constraints and business goals into your work.

• You communicate clearly, constructively question existing assumptions, and can convincingly advocate for your solution approaches.

• You are fluent in German and English. User interviews are regularly conducted in German.
