About Wolt
At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we’re building the delivery of (almost) everything and you’ll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.
Working at Wolt isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely exciting. Here you’ll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You’ll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you’re a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.
As Wolt continues to expand, so does our team. We’re now looking to bolster our ranks with a Senior Technical Accountant specializing in revenue recognition to join our finance team. The successful candidate will be responsible for analyzing sales contracts and ensuring compliance with both IFRS and US GAAP. This role requires a deep understanding of revenue cycles and accounting principles, with the ability to implement process improvements and controls to maintain the accuracy and completeness of revenue accounting. This position will work cross-functionally to support various business units, provide technical guidance on complex revenue issues, and develop training programs to enhance the understanding of revenue accounting across the organization.
What makes the Finance team so special is our ‘service first’ approach to the job - we enjoy creating strong communication loops with the wider business, so that bottlenecks are minimized and that things get done quickly and efficiently. Everybody is accountable for their own workload and takes pride in being meticulous and precise. We also enjoy learning and developing as we go - it’s important that you share this approach! :)
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a group accounting team member in one of Europe's fastest growing tech companies. If you feel like the role matches your experience and you're ready for the next challenge, read on and apply - we're looking forward to meeting you!
