Head of Accounting

🚀 About SafetyWing
SafetyWing (YC w2018) is building a global safety net. We currently offer global health insurance, and global travel medical insurance for remote workers and digital nomads.
Our team consists of about 50 people full-time and another 50 part-time. We are growing fast, and are looking to scale up the team significantly over the next year. 

We work fully remotely, but have our headquarters in San Francisco. We typically meet in person several times per year. The last three gatherings have been in San Francisco, Mexico, and Norway.
👩💻 Your responsibilities will include
As Head of Accounting you will have a key role in owning the ongoing financial operations of the company. You will own financial reporting, statutory reporting, consolidations, bookkeeping, taxes, payroll operations, accounts receivables, and accounts payables for our international group. You will also be heavily involved in payments, liquidity management and developing our processes and control environment. 

Experience with financial controlling and/or auditing is relevant. Ideally, you should have some experience with international group reporting and tax. We outsource our accounting and bookkeeping functions, but you will help manage our external partners and build internal processes and controls.

The parent company (and majority of operations) in the group is located in the US, but we also have several subsidiaries, such as in Norway and Bermuda.
