At Silverfin weโre trying to apply the promise of software to the age-old industry of accounting. With our SaaS weโre automating a large chunk of the busy-work that accountants are currently handling manually, and are building new tools so they can provide better services to their customers.ย
We aim to optimise their workflow in such a way that accountants can spend more time on the much more impactful and rewarding work of advising their customers, the business owners.
The good news is weโre succeeding in doing exactly that. Every day more than 15.000 financial service professionals use Silverfin to help and advise more than 500.000 businesses. Our customers adore us! The even better news is thereโs still plenty left to work on, and thatโs where we hope you come in.

Whatโs the product team like?
The product team is a cross-functional team where engineers work together closely with product managers and product designers. The team's input is a user or business problem and which it can solve with a high degree of autonomy.ย
From day one all profiles are involved in understanding the problem, ideating solutions and doing quick experiments to prove that a certain solution will actually lead to the desired outcome. The setup of the team is largely based on the book "Inspired" by Marty Cagan.ย
