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.

What makes the Finance team so special is our ‘service first’ approach. We enjoy creating strong communication loops with the wider business to minimise bottlenecks and get things done quickly and efficiently.

Everybody takes pride in being meticulous and precise. We also enjoy learning and developing as we go, it’s important that you share this approach! :)
