About Wayflyer

Our mission is to give the world access to the best products by empowering great brands to reach their growth potential. Join us!

Wayflyer is revolutionising eCommerce by levelling the playing field for founders across the world. Our first product, the Merchant Cash Advance, solves a major pain point for brands: access to short-term finance to fund inventory and marketing spend.

Wayflyer was named Ireland's fastest-growing technology company in Deloitte’s 2024 Technology Fast 50 Awards and since launching in April 2020, we’ve deployed over $3bn in funding to 1,000’s of eCommerce founders across 10 countries.

We’ve helped companies like Powercut, Gym+Coffee, Velo Coffee and Current Body take their businesses to the next level. Check out this video from Ben Yahalom, another one of our brilliant customers, giving a great explanation of what we do and how we helped True Classics go from strength to strength.

We’re a fast-growing, venture-backed startup that serves a critical need for eCommerce entrepreneurs. You'll be joining an ambitious, collaborative team that's working on a huge opportunity.

Teams at Wayflyer are truly cross-functional. Regardless of your role at Wayflyer, you'll work with a variety of different disciplines and teams from around the world on a multitude of challenging projects and game-changing products to revolutionise the eCommerce landscape.

What you’ll do:

  • Assist with preparing and maintaining financial records, including invoices, receipts, and accounts payable.

  • Software Management for Accounts Payable and other financial control tools (Spendesk, TravelPerk).

  • Processing Reimbursements.

  • Reconcile bank statements and ensure accuracy in financial transactions.

  • Support monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting processes.

  • Prepare and post journal entries as directed by senior accounting staff.

  • Participate in financial audits and help ensure compliance with internal controls.

  • Provide administrative support to the finance team as needed.

Knowledge, experience and skills:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

  • 1-2 years of relevant work experience or a recent graduate with strong academic credentials.

  • Basic knowledge of accounting principles and financial reporting standards.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel; experience with accounting software Netsuite is a plus.

  • Strong numerical and analytical skills with keen attention to detail.

  • Excellent organisational and time management skills.

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal.

What is important to point out is that you can do most or all of the above mentioned and can point to your real experience doing it. You’ve probably done it at companies of different shapes, sizes and industries. Given what we do, experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting to us.

On top of that, you’re amazing at prioritisation. You make sure you’re not spread too thin while also giving teams the support they need. You spend your time on the things that make a positive difference. People get why you’ve chosen to say ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘not yet’, and are ok with it.

What you’re like as a person and how you treat people is a big deal for us. People love working with you. You’re helpful and generous with your time and knowledge. People love helping you back. People know where they stand with you.

You’re always looking to learn and grow, on a personal and professional level. And you’re always looking to help others learn and grow by sharing your own knowledge and experience.

You know why diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging matters, and speak up when we can do better.
