Legal Entity Accountant

About Ocean Infinity

Ocean Infinity is a marine robotics and technology company transforming how the world collects and understands ocean data. Our Armada fleet of autonomous and optionally crewed robotic vessels performs seabed mapping, survey, inspection, and geotechnical work for energy majors, offshore wind developers, and government clients worldwide. As we've scaled globally, our legal entity structure has grown to match — spanning multiple jurisdictions, currencies, and regulatory regimes, and we need strong finance talent to keep that structure accurate, compliant, and audit-ready.

About the Role

We're looking for a Legal Entity Accountant with 5-7 years of experience to own the statutory accounting and compliance for a portfolio of Ocean Infinity's legal entities across multiple countries. You'll be the go-to person ensuring each entity's books are accurate, intercompany transactions are properly recorded, and local statutory and tax filing obligations are met on time.

Responsibilities

• Own month-end and year-end close for a portfolio of legal entities, ensuring accuracy and compliance with local GAAP/IFRS and group accounting policies.
• Prepare and review statutory financial statements and coordinate local audits with external auditors across multiple jurisdictions.
• Manage intercompany transactions, reconciliations, and transfer pricing documentation between entities.
• Ensure timely and accurate local tax filings (corporate tax, VAT/GST, withholding tax) in partnership with local tax advisors and the group tax team.
• Maintain entity-level general ledgers, balance sheet reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
• Monitor changes in local statutory and regulatory requirements and ensure the business stays compliant as new entities are established or restructured.
• Support entity incorporation, dissolution, and restructuring activities, including opening bank accounts and liaising with local company secretarial/legal service providers.
• Partner with FP&A, Treasury, and Tax teams to ensure consistent reporting across the group and support consolidation.
• Identify and drive process improvements and automation opportunities across legal entity accounting workflows.

Requirements

• 5-7 years of experience in legal entity accounting, statutory reporting, or external audit, ideally within a multinational organization.
• Professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA, or equivalent).
• Strong working knowledge of IFRS and exposure to multiple local GAAPs.
• Experience managing statutory audits and liaising directly with external auditors and tax advisors.
• Solid understanding of intercompany accounting, transfer pricing, and multi-currency consolidation.
• Proficiency with ERP/accounting systems (NetSuite, SAP, or similar) and strong Excel skills.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple entities and deadlines simultaneously.
• Strong communication skills, with experience working across time zones and with local finance/legal teams in different countries.

Nice to Have

• Experience in maritime, offshore energy, or another asset-heavy, globally distributed industry.
• Experience with entity incorporation/restructuring projects or M&A integration.
• Exposure to consolidation tools (e.g., OneStream, HFM) and process automation.
