Financial Accountant - Fully Remote - Work From Anywhere!

Who we are

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

• Ensure that the regulatory requirements of all statutory bodies are met
• 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
• Work with external providers, reviewing and managing the output provided into Omnipresent’s compliance processes
• Ensure that applicable legal entities have appropriate financial controls in place and adhere to Group-wide policies
• 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

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
• Work with external advisors to highlight potential risks and uncertainties to the Financial Controller and Finance Director
• Ensure all direct and indirect tax returns are completed, filed and paid on time

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 experience with group consolidation accounting and external reporting
• Have the ability to work under pressure and perform several tasks concurrently in a deadline-driven environment
• Have an eye for detail that can also approach challenges pragmatically where required and deliver to meet deadlines.
• Have previous experience managing multiple subsidiaries or clients
• 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 excellent organisational skills and the ability to prioritise tasks appropriately

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

What's in it for you?

• Flexible working: Work from anywhere in the world! We don’t care where or when you work, as long as the job gets done. We are genuinely as flexible as the work allows.
• Education: We believe in helping you maximise your potential to deliver maximum impact. Get access to books, courses, mentors and learning plans to help you be your best and do your best!
• Parental leave: For employees that have been with us for 12 months by their due date, we offer 6 months of fully paid parental leave for the primary caregiver, followed by statutory for your region. Secondary caregivers that have been with us for 12 months are entitled to 8 weeks fully paid parental leave.
• Shared ownership: Being a part of our journey means you'll own a piece of Omnipresent.
• Home office setup: It should go without saying that we will provide you with the equipment you need to work from home in the same way you would if you were in an office. We will provide you with the home office equipment you need to enable you to work effectively wherever you are, including covering internet costs.
• Additional benefits: we offer additional benefits that vary from region to region, such as medical, life insurance, pension/retirement funds and more - please ask your Talent Partner when you speak with us!
• Wellbeing: Mental health and wellbeing support and services through Plumm
• Development: Training, coaching, and an environment that promotes career ambition and progression.
• Work environment: We are fully remote, allowing you to work from wherever you live in a flexible manner.
• Annual vacation entitlement: We have a flexible leave policy - you may take as much holiday as you like, so long as it is agreed with your manager. As a guidance, we expect people to take at least 33 days per year, including public holidays (or your region's minimum, if greater).

We believe remote working is a great equalizer and we practice what we preach. Inclusivity is fundamental to our mission and we are committed to conscious inclusion. We believe in the potential of everyone; regardless of race, religion or belief, ethnic origin, different physical ability, family structure, socio-economics, age, nationality or citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
