Top Companies Hiring for Finance Jobs in Dublin (Oct 2026)

You are job hunting for a finance role in Dublin and you keep seeing the same big names, with no sense of who is actually hiring and how hard. Here is the picture from our feed, dated 14 October 2026, with a ranked list of employers and a plan you can start this week.

The snapshot, and what it means#

There are 19 open finance roles in Dublin on JobRise right now. Seventeen went live in the last 30 days. Eleven of those landed in the last 7 days. So the market is moving, not stale.

One number matters more than the rest: 29 Finance listings across all of Ireland, and 19 of those sit in Dublin. That is roughly two thirds of the country's finance hiring concentrated in one city, and it means your search should start and mostly end here. The JobRise Hiring Report: Ireland tracks how Dublin compares with the rest of the country across categories.

Dublin has 274 open listings across all categories. Finance is a real slice of that. But it is not the whole city market. Keep your search wider than one job family if you need income quickly.

Every listing in this slice is full-time: 19 of 19. And zero of the 19 carry entry-level titles such as intern, graduate, junior, or trainee. If you are early career, you will be stretching into these roles or applying through programmes that are advertised elsewhere.

The ranked list of companies hiring#

Counts are open listings on our feed on 14 October 2026, not a market survey. Some of these names are recruiters or staffing firms, so read the title carefully before you assume the employer.

• Stripe: 5 open listings
• Davy: 3
• Indra Group UK & Ireland: 3
• Anthropic: 3
• Mongodb: 1
• CEL - Critical Power: 1
• Fenergo: 1
• Pinterest: 1
• Squarespace: 1

Titles tell you the shape of each team. Stripe lists "Senior Staff Product Manager, Risk" and "Manager, Technical Account Management", which reads like product and commercial work rather than pure finance. Davy lists "Alternative Investment Support Associate - 9-12 month FTC" and "Portfolio Analyst", so investments and operations sit side by side.

Indra Group UK & Ireland has "Senior Financial Accountant" and "Financial Accountant (Fixed Assets)", classic accounting work. Mongodb lists "Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis", and CEL - Critical Power lists "Project Costing Commercial Lead", a cost and commercial role that will suit someone from project accounting. Fenergo, Pinterest, and Squarespace each show one listing apiece on this feed.

How to target each type of employer#

Big tech names such as Stripe, Anthropic, Mongodb, Pinterest, and Squarespace hire for finance-adjacent skills like risk, FP&A, and commercial management. Lead with numbers you moved, systems you owned, and the pace you can work at. Keep the cover letter short.

Financial services names such as Davy and Fenergo care about process, accuracy, and regulation. Talk about controls, reconciliations, client reporting, and how you handled a period end under pressure. Name the systems you used. Always.

Project and engineering businesses such as CEL - Critical Power and Indra Group UK & Ireland want people who understand cost. Bring examples of budgets, forecasts, variance analysis, and working with non-finance managers who do not speak in debits and credits.

Recruiters and staffing firms on the list are a route in, not a dead end. Treat them like a hiring manager: reply fast, be clear on your notice period and salary expectations, and keep the relationship warm even after one role closes. That last part matters most.

Referral and outreach scripts that work#

Ask for a referral before you ask for a job. Here is a message you can send to someone you know at one of these firms, on LinkedIn or WhatsApp:

"Hi Sarah, hope you are well. I saw Davy is hiring a Portfolio Analyst and I am applying this week. Would you be comfortable passing my CV to the hiring manager, or pointing me to the right person? No pressure at all, and happy to return the favour."

Cold outreach to a hiring manager needs to be shorter. Try this:

"Hi Mark, I applied for the Senior Financial Accountant role at Indra Group UK & Ireland today. I spent three years on fixed assets and month-end close in a similar setup, and I would value ten minutes to hear what the team needs most. Would a quick call suit next week?"

If you want a referral but have no contact at the firm, message someone in a similar role first:

"Hi Aoife, I noticed you work in FP&A in Dublin. I am applying for finance roles here and would love to hear how you found the move into your current team. Any advice on what hiring managers look for would be a huge help."

A 7-step plan for the next two weeks#

1. Open the Dublin finance listings and save all 19 roles, plus anything new that appears this week.
2. Split them into three piles: pure accounting, FP&A and commercial, and product or risk. Tailor one CV per pile, not one per job.
3. Rewrite your top three bullets for each pile using the pattern below, with real figures from your own work.
4. Run each employer through the free company insights tool so you walk in knowing their size, sector, and recent hiring.
5. Find one contact at each of your top five firms and send the referral script. Aim for five messages, not fifty.
6. Apply within 48 hours of a role going live. Speed matters more than polishing a letter for a week.
7. Track everything in a simple sheet: company, role, date applied, contact, next step, and follow-up date.

Rewriting a bullet so it lands#

Weak: "Responsible for the month-end close process." Flat. Forgettable.

Stronger: "Ran month-end close for a 12-entity group, cutting the close from 10 working days to 6 within two quarters by standardising accruals across teams."

The second version names the scope, the result, and the timeframe, and it gives an interviewer something concrete to poke at instead of a vague claim about responsibility. Do that with every bullet on your CV, and use figures you can defend when they ask.

FAQ#

How current are these numbers?

All counts come from the JobRise live jobs feed and were captured on 14 October 2026. They are open listings, not a market survey, so they shift as roles are filled or reposted.

Are any of these roles open to graduates or interns?

Zero of the 19 listings carry entry-level titles such as intern, graduate, junior, or trainee. If you are early career, look at graduate programmes advertised separately, or apply for the closest match and make your case.

Do any of the listings show a salary?

No listing in this slice shows a salary. Expect to discuss pay at screening stage, and check the current official sources for typical Dublin ranges, since figures vary by role and firm.

Should I apply to recruiters as well as direct employers?

Yes. Some names on this list are recruiters or staffing firms, and they place people into finance teams you would not reach alone. Treat them with the same care you would give a hiring manager.

What if I am not in Dublin already?

All 19 listings are in Dublin and all are full-time, so plan for on-site or hybrid expectations and confirm the arrangement early. Check the current official guidance on right to work and notice periods before you commit to a start date.
