What is Finary?
At Finary, our mission is to change how money can work for you. We are building a one-stop shop for investing that gives powers back to investors. Finary allows its users to track their assets, manage their budgets, invest their money, and learn more about finance. If you’re looking for an ambitious team that’s revolutionizing an old-fashioned industry, get in touch!
Mounir launched Finary in 2021. Since then, Finary has made great strides by reaching 850.000 users. We genuinely care about user experience, performance, and ease of use.

Why now?
A new generation of investors is emerging: an ambitious, involved workforce. Money is no longer taboo and the pension system is under tremendous pressure. At Finary, we see a world where investing empowers everybody to live the life they’ve always dreamt of. Finary exists to revolutionize the personal money management experience.
To fuel this mission, we announced in September 2025 a 25M€ series B, backed by leading investors including PayPal Ventures, Hedosophia, Y Combinator and Speedinvest. We are also backed by world-class founders like Steve Anavi & Alexandre Prot (Qonto founders), Matthieu Rouif (Photoroom), Eric Demuth (CEO of Bitpanda), Axel Weber (former Chairman of UBS and President of the German Central Bank) and Harsh Sinha (CTO at Wise).
There’s never been a more exciting time to join Finary!

About the role
We're looking for someone who sees compliance as a growth enabler, not a blocker. You'll architect compliance policies from scratch, lead license applications (MiCA, PSI), and eventually hire your own team.
This isn't about saying no — it's about finding ways to say yes safely. If you've been waiting for your chance to own compliance at a high-growth fintech and make it a competitive advantage, this is it.
Finary is the leading personal finance app in France — 850k users tracking their money, Series B funded, and expanding into regulated investment products. We move fast and need compliance to move with us.
What you'll do
Build the compliance operating model — define the function's structure, scope, and priorities from near-scratch in a fast-paced, multi-product fintech
Lead licensing — drive MiCA and other applications end-to-end, from scoping to audit-readiness to approval
Enable product growth — find ways to say yes safely, partner with Product to reduce compliance friction without increasing risk
Handle regulators — build trusted relationships with AMF, ACPR, and European regulators; own regulatory governance and reporting
Lead and grow the team — take ownership of the existing compliance team, develop talent, and scale headcount as complexity increases
What we're looking for
Business-first mindset — you see compliance as a growth enabler, not a blocker. You start with "how can we make this work?" not "here's why we can't"
Builder mentality — you've built or significantly expanded a compliance function from scratch, not just maintained an existing one
Licensing experience — you've led or co-led at least one license application (PSI, PSAN, MiCA) end-to-end
High-velocity tolerance — you thrive in fast-paced environments, comfortable with ambiguity, can prioritize with incomplete information
Regulatory depth — deep knowledge of AMF/ACPR frameworks, MiFID II, MiCA, GDPR
Tech collaboration — can partner effectively with Product and Engineering to build compliance tools and scale processes
What we offer
Competitive salary: €110,000 - €150,000 + meaningful equity
Leadership role — direct report to CEO and seat on leadership team
High impact — shape compliance for a company reaching 1M+ users
Build from scratch — opportunity to architect a compliance function your way
Growth — hire and lead your own team as the company scales
