Posted on Jan 13, 2026
A rare opportunity to take real ownership in a fast-scaling European insurtech — and shape outcomes that matter.
At Insify, we build insurance for entrepreneurs because we are entrepreneurs ourselves. We know what it’s like to build something from scratch, to take risks, and to carry responsibility that doesn’t switch off at 5 pm.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to make business insurance 10x simpler, faster, and fairer for entrepreneurs and SMEs across Europe. No paperwork. No fine print. No legacy complexity. Just modern software, smart automation, and a relentless focus on the customer. We are a high-growth European scale-up, backed by €43M from world-class investors, on a mission to become a global leader in digital insurance for entrepreneurs and SMEs. Starting in the Netherlands, we’ve expanded into France and Germany, and we’re only accelerating from here.
At our core, we’re a tech company. We build our own insurtech platform and rely heavily on data, automation, and AI to redesign the end-to-end insurance experience: from underwriting to claims. Combined with a fully digital customer portal and strong UX, we’re turning insurance into something surprisingly simple, transparent, and fair.
We’re led by seasoned entrepreneurs who’ve built and scaled companies before, and we bring that same ambition, urgency, and ownership mindset to everything we do.
Our culture (read this carefully)
We’re not just building a company, we’re building a category leader. That comes with ambition, responsibility, and pace.
Our culture is defined by three things:
High ownership
People own problems end-to-end. If something is unclear or broken, we don’t wait — we step in and fix it.
High pace
Priorities shift, and decisions are made quickly. We value momentum and learning over perfection.
High standards
Outcomes matter more than optics. We care about results, quality, and follow-through.
At the same time, you won’t be doing this alone.
We believe great work happens through close collaboration. We work in person, challenge each other’s ideas, and expect contributions from everywhere, regardless of title or tenure. The best ideas often come from unexpected places, and we create space for them to surface.
This is a human-sized company. You’ll know the people you work with, you’ll be able to walk over to anyone to ask a question or test an idea, and you’ll be part of the day-to-day energy of building together: from whiteboard discussions to shared lunches, dogs in the office, and moments to pause and reset.
We hire smart, ambitious people who think like owners, value intellectual honesty, and are motivated by impact rather than comfort. If you enjoy challenge, responsibility, and building something meaningful with others, you’ll likely thrive here.
If you’re looking for predictability, narrow scopes, or a guaranteed 9-to-5, this likely won’t be the right fit — and that’s okay.
We’d rather be honest upfront.
We are now looking to expand our Finance team and add a driven and detail-oriented accountant.
What You’ll Be Up To (some examples):
- Manage day‑to‑day accounting operations, including processing invoices, preparing payments, and keeping ledgers accurate through timely journal entries.

- Assist in the preparation of financial statements according to Dutch GAAP.
- Support statutory audit requests and communicate with external auditors.
- Strengthen financial processes by identifying risks, improving controls, and implementing scalable, efficient workflows.
- Lead and contribute to ad hoc projects as needed.
Your Profile:
