Finance Manager (iGaming), Malta & Cyprus, middle: €3 200–4 300 per month gross · SpinHire data as of
What the role involves
A finance person in traffic arbitrage lives in spreadsheets and crypto wallets. In the morning they pay for buyers' ad account top-ups and accounts via Bybit or USDT, in the afternoon they reconcile with advertisers and brands how many FTDs were counted, and at month-end they calculate each buyer's profit and salaries with commission. A Billing Manager in a traffic team issues CPA and RevShare invoices and chases partners for overdue payments. At an operator or provider the focus shifts to reconciliations with payment providers and game providers, the budget and management P&L. One wrong formula here means overpaying a buyer or missing a cash gap.

How to break into the profession
From accounting, financial analysis, banks and fintech. Arbitrage teams hire with little experience if the candidate is confident in Excel and understands crypto.
Working hours: Mon–Fri, usually 10:00–18:00 or 11:00–19:00. Lots of remote work; some teams keep the finance person in an office in Kyiv, Warsaw or Limassol.
Market demand: Hiring comes from media buying and arbitrage teams, affiliate networks in crypto and gambling, and operators and providers with entities in Malta and Cyprus. The most common request: a finance person who understands traffic and can work with crypto.

Frequently asked questions
How is a finance manager different from an accountant?
An accountant keeps the entity's statutory books and files reports under the country's law. A finance manager handles management money: spend, reconciliations, payouts, P&L and forecasts for the owner.
How much does a finance person earn in an arbitrage team?
$900–1,400 at the start, around $1,600–2,400 with reconciliation and P&L experience. Heads of Finance and CFOs who understand traffic reach $4,500–8,000 and up.
Do I need to understand crypto?
In arbitrage, almost always yes: accounts and partner payouts are paid in USDT through exchanges and wallets. Licensed operators use less crypto and more banks and payment systems.
