COUNTRY CONTROLLER

Wolt is a Finnish technology company and we’re best known for our food delivery platform. We’ve grown significantly in the last three years, expanding our operations from just four countries across the Nordics, to 25 countries across Europe and Asia today.

Our Finance team has played a key role in this journey - supporting our global operations from their central Helsinki hub has been no easy feat, but this group of dedicated and motivated professionals have made it seem effortless!

As we continue to scale, we’re now looking for an experienced Country Controller to help us focus on our local accounting efforts in Hungary. You will sit with the local country team in Budapest but report to the Regional Financial Controller and work directly with the centralized Finance team. The Country Controller is responsible for local compliance and reporting, while assisting the local teams with accounting related enquiries, such as payment follow-ups, explanations of reports provided to restaurant partners etc.

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! :)

• Manage all aspects of Wolt Hungary Accounting; accurate and timely monthly reporting, annual financial statements and other statutory reporting required in these countries

• Lead the delivery of local and global finance initiatives, financial process implementation and ensuring the compliance on global policies
• Maintain and strengthen the key internal and external relationships including local auditors, authorities and senior management both locally and internationally
