Job Description
We’re looking for a Financial Controller to take full ownership of financial reporting and controls for Bolt’s Rentals vertical (Bolt Drive, Scooters, e-Bikes), helping the business scale across 50+ countries while keeping the numbers accurate and audit-ready.
With over 200 million customers in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it’s all thanks to our people.
We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars, and we need your help to achieve this mission!
As a Financial Controller, you will be responsible for taking care of 200,000+ physical vehicles: electric scooters, e-bikes, and cars that get leased, manufactured, shipped across borders, deployed on streets, maintained, depreciated, impaired, and eventually written off. Each of those steps has accounting implications across multiple entities, currencies, and regulatory environments.
You’ll be working alongside Accounting, Operations, Hardware, Tax, FP&A, and Finance Technology. This is a hands-on role with real strategic visibility; when leadership asks “how is Rentals performing?”, your work is a big part of the answer.
Own controls around fixed asset cycles for the micromobility fleet: depreciation, impairment, write-offs, PPE tables, and asset register integrity across multiple entities. Drive month-end and year-end closing for the Rentals vertical — P&L/BS/CF reviews, journal entries, variance analysis, and IFRS calculations (IAS 16) — and lead efficiency and cost-saving initiatives across fixed asset processes. Own controls around intercompany flows for vehicle exports and imports across countries, working with Tax on transfer pricing and customs valuations. Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, Operations, Hardware, Tax, FP&A, and Finance Technology to ensure the financial picture matches operational reality. Support new market launches, system integration projects, and the implementation and optimization of internal and external finance tools as the business continues to scale. Ensure the quality control of financial transactions and group-level reporting.
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a closely related discipline, with solid experience in financial controlling, accounting, or audit. Deep knowledge of IFRS (especially IAS 16) and hands-on fixed asset experience at volume, including GL functions and month-end/year-end closing processes. Highly systematic and compliance-driven, with strong ownership, time management, and a proactive approach to identifying and addressing ethical or compliance risks. Clear communicator who can translate accounting complexity for non-finance stakeholders and collaborate cross-functionally with ease. Comfortable with Excel/Google Sheets and ideally familiar with ERP systems, Workday, or SQL.
Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying!
Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities. Enjoy a rewarding salary and stock options, knowing that as Bolt succeeds, so do you. Take care of your physical and mental health with our wellness perks. Celebrate 5 years at Bolt with a 1-month paid sabbatical to recharge. Connect with colleagues at annual company events and smaller team gatherings. Balance flexibility and in-person collaboration with our hybrid model, including at least 12 monthly in-office days.
