Our Vision

We aim to become the most beloved financial Operating System of French SMEs (and soon, European ones).

We help entrepreneurs rid themselves of time-consuming tasks related to accounting and finance while providing them with access to key financial information to assist in making the best decisions for their business.

Simultaneously, we support accounting firms by enabling them to spend less time on redundant and repetitive tasks and more time on advising and supporting their clients. Already, over 200,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and more than 3,500 accounting firms use Pennylane in France!

About Us

Pennylane is one of the fastest growing Fintechs in France (and soon to be in Europe!).

In 4 years of existence, we’ve managed to:

1. Make ourselves known as a groundbreaking accounting and financial software for small businesses and their accountants.
2. Raise a total of €150 million, including from Sequoia, the famous fund from Silicon Valley that invested early in companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Stripe, Paypal, and much more.
3. Grow from 7 cofounders to 500+ happy Pennylaners: we’re now recognized as one of the greatest places to work in France (and also remotely), with a 4.6/5 rating on Glassdoor.
4. Build an international environment with more than 25 nationalities, with a strong remote-friendly culture, where 30% of the employees are already working from all parts of Europe.
5. Earn the trust of thousands of customers and accounting firms and obtain outstanding ratings.
