Job description

Senior Accountant

Real opportunities. Real impact. Your career, redefined.

At Oceans, we help the best and brightest of Sri Lanka to take advantage of opportunities that otherwise wouldn't be available to them, while supporting entrepreneurs around the world. Our community (we call them Divers) don't do surface workthey go deep to solve complex challenges and make a real impact. And in doing so, they support bold ideas and expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers, all without having to leave family and friends.

We're hiring a Senior Accountant to partner with our client and their fast-growing global finance team. This role sits at the intersection of execution and oversight : managing daily transactions, supporting junior team members, and ensuring timely, high-quality reporting to senior leadership.

If you're detail-oriented, systems-minded, and confident handling high-volume reconciliations - including crypto - this opportunity is built for you.

Accountability

As a Senior Accountant, your success will be measured by the accuracy and completeness of transactional work, the clarity of your communication, and your ability to act as a steadying presence between offshore and senior finance leadership. You'll manage a wide range of responsibilities while guiding team members and continuously improving how the function runs. Here's how you'll make an impact :

Team Oversight & Communication

  • Act as the first point of contact and escalation for junior finance team members based in Sri Lanka.
  • Review and provide feedback on reconciliations, journal entries, and data accuracy.
  • Manage the shared finance inbox; prioritizing and routing queries, and responding to external messages when appropriate.

Transactional Accounting

  • Reconcile bank and crypto accounts on a daily basis.
  • Code and post journal entries, including accounts payable, receivable, and general ledger transactions.
  • Investigate and resolve basic client queries related to invoices or payments.
  • Allocate crypto transactions (using tools such as Kraken) accurately within ledgers, ensuring full traceability.
  • Month-End Close & Reporting

  • Drive month-end close processes, ensuring timely completion across the team.
  • Consolidate and team member submissions for completeness and accuracy.
  • Deliver P&L and balance sheet commentary to finance leadership, highlighting trends and anomalies.
  • Process Improvement

  • Identify gaps and inefficiencies in current workflows, and propose solutions.
  • Support the development of repeatable, well-documented processes that increase accuracy and reduce rework.
  • Colleagues

    You'll report to senior finance leadership and work closely with a finance team based in Sri Lanka. Your day-to-day will include coordination with junior accountants, internal stakeholders, and select external contacts.

    At Oceans, you'll also receive guidance and support from our Operations Manager, who will help you succeed in the role and ensure that you're continuously growing and developing in your career.

    Skills & Qualifications

    At Oceans, we believe in T-shaped individuals - those who bring deep expertise in one area, paired with broad curiosity and interests. As a Senior Accountant, your vertical strength will be in reconciliations and financial close processes, while your horizontal interests may include team mentoring, client communication, and systems improvement.

    To excel in this role, you should have :

  • Language Skills : Professional fluency in English, with strong written communication skills for client correspondence
  • Experience : A minimum of 5 years in accounting, including 12 years in a supervisory or senior role
  • Technical Strength : Advanced understanding of reconciliations, journal entries, and close processes
  • Crypto Acumen : Experience with - or the ability to quickly learn - crypto transaction reconciliation would be an added advantage
  • Tools : Proficiency with QuickBooks Online and Excel (including lookups and formulas)
  • Team Leadership : Comfort supporting junior team members with constructive feedback and review
  • Stakeholder Management : Confidence in explaining trends or irregularities to senior stakeholders
  • Diversity of experience is core to Oceans. You are expected to work inclusively with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, ensuring that both personal and collective dignity are supported.

    During the interview process, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your skills in the following areas :

  • Workflow Management : How do you prioritize and manage daily reconciliations alongside month-end close?
  • Crypto Reconciliation : What systems or safeguards do you use when working with alternative payment methods?
  • Team Oversight : How do you review work from junior team members and offer helpful feedback?
  • Process Improvements : Can you share an example of a process you've improved in a finance or accounting team?
  • Client-Facing Communication : How do you respond to invoice or payment queries in a way that builds trust and resolves issues efficiently?
  • Role Specifications

    This is a remote role, where you will be expected to work a split shift with some overlap with our client's time zone. You will, however, be expected to be present for in-person training programs during your first 90 days with us. During the offer process, we'll share more information about our benefits and compensation philosophy, considering both market trends and individual factors.

    About Oceans

    At Oceans, we build remote teams that connect the world's top 1% of talent with visionary leaders. With us, you're not just doing a jobyou're redefining your career with opportunities designed to unlock your potential. We welcome the chance to discuss the complementary parts of our business during your interview process and encourage questions about where we are and where we are going.
