Finance at Wolt
We’re here to take care of everything and anything related to Wolt’s finances – we manage the day-to-day receivables and payables as well as ensuring that we correctly report on the past in our financials and tax reports. Some might say, we even get to use our crystal ball to help our businesses to look ahead with budgeting, scenario modeling and cash forecasting. Quite cool stuff and we get to do this every day plus so much more!
Our core focuses
We oversee all invoices and cash application activities across all Wolt subsidiaries. This covers everything within the general ledger, as well as accounts receivable and accounts payable tasks.
Our speciality is on the accounting principles, overseeing the bookings and performing the required reconciliations for our books. Working tightly with both our Accounting and Business control teams - ensuring the correctness of our numbers is our sacred duty.
we’re storytellers when it comes to interpreting the numbers and what they mean for the business, no matter if it’s good or bad stuff. It’s up to us to analyze the business’ performance, identify problems and guide our General Managers and group management on hitting financial targets.
We make sure that we pay the right amount of taxes at the right time - be it VATs, corporate income taxes or the like, we handle it. We’re also keen on guiding our businesses in how to build our legal entity footprint and also the tax admin that comes with it.
We support our subsidiaries in making sure they have sufficient funding to manage their business in whichever currency they are working with. And with many currencies at play, we’re here to ensure we are able to handle any risks that might be involved.
What we're working on
Building an in-house accounting team
Up until recently, we’ve outsourced our accounting efforts but are now committed to building an in-house team that will take a centralised approach with end-to-end responsibility.
Process optimizations and scalability
We continue to challenge the perception that finance is ‘rigid and manual’ and aim to push boundaries on more traditional ways of working. And so process optimization and scalability is second nature to us!
Liquidity management
The more we grow and expand our business, the better visibility and foresight we need to optimise our cash usage between our 20+ countries where we operate. Hence, making sure we a solid grasp of our current cash balances and upcoming funding needs is of high importance at the moment.
