Or more generally,

Sum[Fibonacci[n]/x^(n+1), {n, Infinity}]//Simplify // ExpandAll // Simplify

1/(x^2 - x - 1)

%  /.  x -> 10

1/89

Sum[Fibonacci[n]*x^n, {n, Infinity}]//Simplify // ExpandAll // Simplify

-(x/(x^2 + x - 1))

And @@ Table[
    Fibonacci[n] == (D[x/(1-x-x^2), {x, n}]/n! /. x -> 0), {n, 20}]

True
