Financial Accountant - Fully Remote - Work from Anywhere!

Remote work is one of the great equalizers of our time, allowing people to secure employment opportunities from companies around the world, no matter where they were born or where they live. Omnipresent does just that.

We are a customer-focused global employment services partner that can help companies grow their teams in more than 155 countries and territories around the world. How do we do that? Well, through our SaaS platform, OmniPlatform. We help companies (big or small) deal with the complexities involved with hiring global teams remotely, by managing employee onboarding through to offboarding, including legal and compliance, payroll, expenses, and health and benefits.

We also practice what we preach! We are a fully remote company which means we have no head office. Our team of more than 400 people is located in more than 50 countries and territories around the world. This means you can work from anywhere. We provide benefits and support in any global location just as we would for our clients and their remote teams. Our company has a flat structure which means accountability and taking initiative towards your everyday tasks that help further our ambitious company goals.  

At a time when remote work is exploding, we’re growing our team to help make global remote work a reality for people everywhere.

The Role:

As a Series B start-up, the Finance function has been taking shape over the last year. We now have a large number of legal entities worldwide and as one of three Financial Accountants you will take responsibility for some of these entities. You will ensure month end, quarter end and annual reporting deadlines are met, and you’ll work with external accountants globally to ensure Statutory reporting is completed and filed.

What you’ll do:

You will be responsible for the fundamentals of the numbers along with all the usual stuff a Financial Accountant in a SaaS style start-up does. Which, to be clear, looks like this:

Statutory Compliance and Control

• Preparation of monthly balance sheet reconciliations to ensure complete and accurate positions are maintained
• Contribute to the development of the Finance function by identifying opportunities to streamline processes and increase efficiencies
• Support the Financial Reporting Manager in the preparation and filing of annual accounts for the UK parent and work with external accountants to ensure the same for foreign subsidiaries
• Ensure that the regulatory requirements of all statutory bodies are met
• Ensure that applicable legal entities have appropriate financial controls in place and adhere to Group-wide policies
• Work with external providers, reviewing and managing the output provided into Omnipresent’s compliance processes

Taxation

• Have involvement in our Transfer Pricing policy, ensuring intercompany transactions are accurately reflected in the underlying books and records of the relevant legal entities
• Ensure all direct and indirect tax returns are completed, filed and paid on time
• Work with external advisors to highlight potential risks and uncertainties to the Financial Controller and Finance Director

About you:

As a qualified accountant you’ll have strong technical skills and experience in Statutory accounts preparation, balance sheet reconciliations, multi-currency reporting and group consolidation.

You will also:

• Have previous experience managing multiple subsidiaries or clients
• Have experience with group consolidation accounting and external reporting
• Have excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to interact at all levels of the organisation
• Be commercially minded, with a can-do “roll your sleeves up” attitude.
• Have an eye for detail that can also approach challenges pragmatically where required and deliver to meet deadlines.
• Have excellent organisational skills and the ability to prioritise tasks appropriately
• Have the ability to work under pressure and perform several tasks concurrently in a deadline-driven environment

You are the sort of person that...

• Has a passion for finance and is eager to join a dynamic and innovative tech company, where you will play a vital role in developing a best-in-class finance function
• Is committed to innovation in the pursuit of business growth and success
• Loves to solve complex operational issues by building simple processes, identifying and using modern (online) solutions to ensure a maximum degree of automation, replacing manual human interaction wherever possible
