Financial Controller

Permanent employee, Full-time · London

About the job

Flatpay is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe and was founded 3 years ago in Copenhagen with the mission to take the stress out of card payments for SMBs. Businesses want to focus on what they do best; running their business. But monthly hardware fees, different rates for different cards, extra costs on every transaction and frequent price increases have made payments too stressful. That’s why we started Flatpay. One flat rate across all cards - that’s it.

We’re already more than 1,000 people across Denmark, Finland, Italy, Germany and France and recently launched in the UK.

Location: London, UK (Office-based, Soho Works, White City), 5 days a week
