Role
Who you are
- We are looking for someone with the right mindset & a broad skillset to take on this challenge!
- You'll be a qualified management accountant or accountant with relevant training from a top company, and ideally prior experience in VC-backed SaaS. Note: we're open to hiring this role at multiple different levels of seniority - if you're more experienced than this, please still apply!
- You're highly commercial, and believe the goal is to get the best outcome for the company, not the cleanest slate of work for the finance team!
- You're smart and can wear many hats, zooming into the details of the accounting and up again into the bigger picture for forecasts and fundraising - a master of juggling lots of things at once
- You're willing to be very hands on - we don't outsource, so you're happy to do the bookkeeping and billing as well as the board pack! The job is whatever it takes to get the job done!
- You're excited to automate and learn, build, and implement new tools that keep us running effective, efficient, and lean
- You have a good knowledge of VC-backed companies and SaaS (extra bonus: sales-led enterprise SaaS), and a good sense of 'how the sausage gets made' in companies like ours
- You have a good knowledge of the ins and outs of UK & US companies and the myriad little nuances that this set up involves (we are UK top-co, US subsidiary)
- You're excited and able to operate at pace and in ambiguity, with good judgement and clever instincts, and can operate across competing and changing priorities
- You work hard & care lots about your work. You care deeply about the work you do, and having a reputation for competence and excellence, and put in the time and dedication to get to that outcome
- You’re an outstanding communicator; verbal, and written, you are able to be clear & concise in ensuring everyone knows what they need to
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an exceptional Financial Controller to join Omnea’s team to support all aspects of our financial planning and controls and support our rapid scale!
- Reporting to our CFO Sabrina, you'll be a trusted right-hand and work across all the controller/accounting/tax aspects of finance, from closing the books, to navigating audits and billing, to executing our RevRec and transfer pricing
- As the first member of Finance at Omnea* you'll have a broad scope and a wide remit to drive financial outcomes for our business as we quickly grow and scale to multiple markets!
- This is an evolving role, and whether you're coming from another startup or straight out of a accountancy practice, you'll get to have an outsized impact at Omnea, and it's a perfect role for someone who believes that finance functions should help businesses run faster, not slower
- Please note! We are hiring a Finance Manager or a Financial Controller, not both
- You’ll do whatever it takes to make sure Omnea can continue to operate at pace. You'll
- Do the accounting and close the books for our UK and US entities (we do not use outsourced parties for this)
- Handle VAT and Sales Tax matters, and work with Cooper Parry for our annual accounts, audit, and corporation tax filings in the UK, and with CLA to do the same for our US entity
- Take care of our in-house business as usual processes, working with our Ops juniors to process payroll and payables, and bill and collect from our customers
- Build out our automation stack, and work with our revops team to automate things like our billing processes
- Once ramped & running on the controller/accounting side of the house, work with our CFO on preparing inputs for Board and Investor reporting
- Help refine and iterate our transfer pricing and intercompany mechanisms
- Help monitor and steer the metrics that roll up into our financial story, and work with teams to help us navigate towards our desired outcomes
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The way businesses buy stuff is broken. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders. Which in turn, is slowing businesses down.
Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management and suppliers risk assessments. Giving both buyers, and finance and procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spending.
