Finance Manager

We build AI voice agents for small and medium-sized businesses so they never miss a call and can focus on the work they actually love.

Our AI handles every call automatically. But voice is just the beginning. Our vision: to build the world's first fully automated CRM.

7,500+ customers. >€5M ARR. ~30% monthly growth. Target until EOY: €30M.

We live ownership. You're responsible for your projects and tasks end-to-end. No politics, few meetings, direct feedback. At fonio you’ll build alongside the smartest and most ambitious people around.

Join us now to be part of one of Europe's most exciting growth stories!

You will own everything operational finance at fonio. As part of the operations team, you will build up an operational finance function that acts as an asset rather than a liability. The processes and structures you build along the way will support fonio's rapid internationalization and growth. We are not looking for someone that does repetitive work, but rather for a person who takes ownership, improves and automates processes and builds the financial foundation for the future successes of fonio.
