How it all started
Finance Software, Prepaid Cards & Payment Platform
Founder & Group CEO, Ian Flanagan started his early career as a professional tennis player, winning a Gold Medal at the Youth Olympics. In 2004, Ian went on to beat Mark Philippoussis in the opening round of the Stella Artois Championship at Queen's Club eventually reaching the last 16 of the championships. That same summer Ian reached the 3rd round at Wimbledon doubles including playing his 1st Round match on the sacred Centre Court at The All England Club. Following on from that, an injury forced Ian into early retirement from the sport, but this competitive drive and ambition continued, with Ian moving into the business arena.
Voly was created in 2016, when a team of determined and excited individuals identified a gap in the yachting market, they had an idea to create a single platform to meet the needs of the luxury yachting industry.
From humble beginnings, offering a simple expense management platform. Voly is proud to be; the only multi-currency accounting software with a fully integrated prepaid Mastercard and FX payment platform designed specifically for the Entertainment and Yachting industries.
The business has also expanded into providing accounting software for the management of multi-assets such as property, aircraft and other family office assets.
“As we progress through our journey, we are proud to be the leading financial management software in the yachting sector, and we believe we can make the same impact in the wider entertainment arena. We will continue to innovate and grow within our chosen sectors, as well as delivering a solution for family offices to manage multiple assets and entities. I'm extremely proud of the team we have built at Voly who continually strive to be the best in class”
The next 12 months will see Voly launch a number of exciting new modules, as well as more integrations and partnerships, to provide a single platform for all your financial needs. We look forward to serving you.”
