Description

We are looking for a proactive and experienced VP of Finance here at Yapily. The VP of Finance holds ultimate responsibility for all finance and accounting across the organisation, ensuring the company’s financial health, compliance, and strategic readiness.
This is a senior strategic and operational leadership role, overseeing all aspects of data & insight, multi-currency accounting, banking, treasury, month-end close, management accounts, billing and revenue operations, commission plan administration, and company secretarial duties (including share option scheme management). The role leads financial governance, reporting, and operational processes, working closely with the Chief Operations Officer and department heads to drive sustainable growth and ensure robust financial control.
As VP of Finance, you will be an inspiring leader who communicates effectively to ensure the organisation deeply understands both the financial drivers of the business and the value of sound governance and compliance. You are results-oriented, thrive in periods of change, and use your financial expertise to guide strategic decision-making. You will foster a collaborative, high-performing, and positive “can-do” culture within the finance function and across the business, ensuring teams feel empowered, engaged, and aligned to organisational goals.
Who are Yapily
Yapily is on a mission to enable innovative companies to create better and fairer financial services for everyone, through the power of open banking.
Yapily is an open banking infrastructure platform solving a fundamental problem in financial services today: access. Historically, card networks have monopolised the global movement of money, and banks have monopolised the ownership of, and access to, financial data.
Yapily was founded to challenge these structures and create a global open economy that works for everyone. We exist behind the scenes, securely connecting companies - from growth to enterprise - to thousands of banks worldwide, enabling them to access data and initiate payments through the power of open banking.
