Our take
Financial services can be complicates and time-consuming, especially for smaller companies, early-stage businesses, and freelancers. And navigating everything from invoices to expenses can often pull focus away from actually running the business.
Founded by the team behind the online B2B bank Modulbank, Finom is the fastest-growing financial management platform SMEs and freelancers. Its automates tools cover everything from expense tracking to e-invoicing to multi-banking, and it's even supported by partnerships with the likes of VISA and Klarna.
This rapid growth is backed by strong investor confidence too, with some significant funding added to its name in 2025. The capital will support customer acquisition, product expansion, and strategic initiatives. And with ambitions to reach 1M businesses customers by the end of 2026, Finom is seriously setting its sights high.
