  + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: 1 min
STOCKHOLM, July 6 (Reuters) - Estonian ride-hailing and food delivery startup Bolt named Mikko Salovaara as its chief financial officer ahead of the company's preparation for an initial public offering. The company, a rival of Uber (UBER.N), was valued at over $8 billion when it raised 628 million euros from investors in January last year. Chief Executive Officer Markus Villig told Reuters in May that Bolt expects to become profitable in the next 12 months and be ready for an IPO in 2025. Salovaara, who will join the company later this month, was earlier the CFO of fintech firm Revolut.

☆ Fintech firm Wise's shares fall after announcing CFO is resigning, CEO to go on leave
  + stars: | 2023-05-22 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Shares of British fintech firm Wise slipped Monday, after the company announced its CFO Matt Briers is leaving the company next year, while its CEO Kristo Kaarman will go on paternity leave starting September. Wise shares were down around 4% as of 9:45 a.m. London time. Briers will step down as Wise CFO in March 2024, once Kaarman has returned from a sabbatical break, the company said in a press release Monday. In his time as CFO, Briers took Wise from a scrappy money transfer upstart to a publicly-listed financial technology giant. Briers is the second CFO of a major U.K. fintech firm to announce his departure this month — on May.

A man pauses outside of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on January 15, 2016 in New York City. Index-rebalance strategies, the talk of the town just a few short years ago, are seemingly on their last legs these days. What doomed the index-rebalance strategy is a tale as old as time on Wall Street. Times are tough now, but as Alex notes in his story, not everyone is completely giving up on the strategy. And while we're talking Man Group, here's a rundown on a program meant to help non-tech workers learn data-science skills to help streamline their jobs.
☆ Revolut's CFO leaves the digital bank after two years, citing personal reasons
  + stars: | 2023-05-11 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
LONDON — Revolut's chief financial officer, Mikko Salovaara, is leaving the digital bank after two years, citing personal reasons. A company spokesperson told CNBC that Salovaara resigned and has not been fired. He said it would be inappropriate to divulge the personal reasons that have led to his departure. The Revolut spokesperson said Salovaara's decision was unrelated to concerns flagged by auditor BDO about the company's financial accounts. In its latest annual report, Revolut posted its first-ever full year of profitability, posting a pretax profit of £59.1 million on revenue of £636.2 million.
☆ Exclusive: Revolut audit queries, skittish regulators complicate its UK licence bid -sources
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Stefania Spezzati Amy-Jo Crowley | Stefania Spezzati | Amy-Jo Crowley | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Media coverage of BDO's warning on March 1 prompted immediate questions from financial regulators, a March 6 letter to Reuters from Revolut shows. The letter did not address the banking licence application nor its status. "I would be astonished if the regulators go ahead with the banking licence," he added. Revolut applied for a banking licence about two years ago. With a banking licence, Revolut would become a more established player in the U.K. banking market and be able to draw more customers.

"We have built a strong momentum," the 31-year-old executive said in an interview at Revolut's headquarters in London. Revolut will retain accounting firm BDO for the 2022 audit, it said. Revenues from its crypto business shrank in 2022 as the crypto-downturn hit the firm. In 2020, it made a loss of 223 million pounds, according to Revolut's accounts. The fintech company expects to publish its 2022 accounts by June, but it might take longer.
