Finance Accountant

We’re on a mission to make migration easy.

We started building Marshmallow in 2017. Since then, we’ve grown from 3 to 700+ people, gained unicorn status, raised ~£140M over three funding rounds, turned profitable, insured millions of drivers and lent millions in car loans.

But we’re only just getting started. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Over the next 10 years we’ll grow exponentially, not only by scaling our existing products, but also by building new ones.

To achieve our goals we need incredibly ambitious, commercially driven people who never settle for ‘good enough’. Marshmallowers are hungry for autonomy and ownership, and would rather improve than coast. Everyone raises standards and has an impact, with a focus on collective success over self-interest.

We’ve created an environment where curious, tenacious people win and grow together. If that sounds motivating, this could be the place for you.

The Finance Team
At Marshmallow, we’re building a financial services company designed for the future — inclusive, data-driven, and fast growing. The Finance team plays a critical role in enabling that growth by ensuring strong financial control, trusted data, and scalable processes that support decision-making across the business.

The Role
We are looking for a Finance Accountant to support day-to-day accounting activities for our Hungarian entity.
