Join to apply for the Director / VP of Finance role at Wheely

Wheely is not a traditional ride-hailing company. We are building a platform with user privacy at its core while successfully scaling a five-star service to millions of rides across multiple cities.

We are seeking a Finance Director/VP Finance to lead our financial operations in a high-growth scaleup environment. This role combines hands-on leadership of day-to-day financial activities with strategic oversight, ensuring regulatory compliance, accurate reporting, and efficient resource management.

Reporting directly to the CEO/Founder, you will play a pivotal role in scaling our finance function while maintaining a lean, automated team.

For top-performing candidates, there is a clear path to promotion to VP of Finance within 12-18 months, expanding responsibilities to include Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), budgeting, forecasting, and broader strategic initiatives. Candidates with 3+ years of FP&A experience may be considered for the VP of Finance level from the outset, depending on their qualifications and fit.

Key Responsibilities:


* Oversee day-to-day financial operations, including general ledger management, accounts payable/receivable (AP/AR), reconciliations, and cash flow optimization.
* Ensuring regulatory compliance

* Lead audits (internal and external), coordinating with auditors and resolving any issues efficiently.
* Manage tax compliance, including filings, provisions and strategies.
* Handle treasury functions, such as cash management, banking relationships, investments, and risk mitigation.
* Build and run a lean finance team (under 10 people), leveraging automation and AI tools to keep overhead low and drive efficiency.
* Contribute to strategic projects, such as fundraising or international expansion, with potential to take on FP&A responsibilities.

Requirements

* 5+ years of post-qualification experience in a Finance Manager / Financial Controller or equivalent managerial role in finance.
* 2+ years of experience hiring & managing finance teams.
* (Optional) 3+ years of FP&A experience (e.g., budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis) for immediate consideration at VP level.
* Chartered Accountant (ACA) or equivalent qualification (e.g., US CPA).
* Bachelor's degree from a top university in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
* Experience in international or multi-entity environments, including handling cross-border compliance, currency management, and global reporting.
