"Hello, my girlfriend (both 30 years old) and I are thinking about moving to Denmark, as we've seen it mentioned everywhere as a country with many opportunities and a demand for professional skills. I'd like to mention that we are Italians, where over 40 years, salaries have dropped by almost 10%, and with the current lifestyle, it's not enough to live normally. We pay rent, groceries, bills, gasoline, and we almost run out of money. We would like to start a family sooner or later, something that isn't possible in Italy. So, for a guy (me) with 7 years of experience on lathes, grinding machines, and lapping machines, who has worked for Ferrari and Bosch, and holds a diploma as a Full Stack Web Developer, could there be a future? And what about my girlfriend, who has a 3-year bachelor’s degree in economy and finance and works as an accountant?
PS: I’m studying Dutch just because I love foreign languages. I can speak English and French too (B2).

kqcyd0uCan't say much about your background, but your girlfriend should start learning Danish as soon as possible if you want to move here. There are jobs available for English speaking people in finance, but the possibilities are much better if she speaks Danish (conversational level should be okay!) as that also opens up for jobs in smaller, less international companies.
My wife is Italian and has been living here for 10+ years, and we regularly meet up with other Italians living here. Most of them seem to want to stay here, but few couples have moved back to Italy after having children, due to distance from family and overall getting support to raise the kids with both working full time.
www.jobindex.dk is one of the biggest job sites in Denmark, so you could try to search there for positions that might fit either of you.
I know a lot of Italians who live in Vejle, as it's not overly expensive and it's close to several large international companies (Siemens Gamesa, Bestseller, Lego)

kqd70zjNot correct the trading sector, are close to only hiring people that can communicate in English.

kqd764jFinance is a wide field, but OPs girlfriend is working as an accountant - not necessarily something that would be highly sought after in the trading sector.
If it's standard in-company accounting / finance department, many companies are still very much favoring Danish speakers.
