## Job description

Who are we

At Lokalise, we make it easy and profitable for businesses to expand into new markets. Our AI-powered localization platform helps companies manage both software and marketing content from a single, unified environment — ensuring every team speaks with one voice across every language and channel.

By automating workflows, integrating with over 60 tools, and centralizing translation memory and terminology, Lokalise enables product, engineering, and marketing teams to collaborate without friction and launch globally up to 10× faster and at 80% lower cost.

Trusted by thousands of businesses across more than 100 countries, Lokalise empowers millions of people worldwide to use digital services in their native languages. Backed by a customer-loved support team, our platform fits seamlessly into your design, development, and content workflows, helping you scale with consistency and control.

Location

While our company operates exclusively on a remote basis, you must reside and have the legal right to work in one of the following countries: the United Kingdom, Latvia, or Spain.

This is a full-time, remote position. Please note that we do not engage on a B2B or contractor basis.

We do not partner with search firms.

## About the Team

Our Finance team is the backbone of Lokalise's financial operations—ensuring accuracy, compliance, and control as we scale. Reporting to the Financial Controller and working closely with FP&A, you will step into a broad, hands-on role.

You will own month-end close and balance sheet integrity across our global entities while acting as the primary internal liaison for our external accounting, payroll, and EOR providers. Additionally, you will champion our finance automation program, transitioning the team from manual workflows to highly scalable, controlled processes.

## What You Will Do

- Own the month-end close across multiple entities, managing journals, accruals, reconciliations, and reporting strictly to the group timetable.
- Own balance sheet integrity, with a specific focus on payroll and employment costs.
- Act as the internal client for outsourced accounting, payroll, and EOR platforms. Review output, hold them to SLAs, and review/approve payroll across our US, UK, Spanish, Latvian, and EOR entities to meet statutory deadlines.
- Prepare and post payroll/employment cost journals into the ERP, ensuring data integrity between our HRIS and payroll providers.
- Provide detailed analysis and actionable commentary on Operating Expenses and other critical areas of the P&L.
- Lead the charge on documenting and improving workflows. You will transition manual reviews into risk-based, threshold-driven controls.
- Support annual audits and statutory reporting alongside our auditors and outsourced providers.

## What You Must Have

- 5+ years in a hands-on accounting role within a SaaS or tech company, including payroll accounting processes (journals, accruals, and control account reconciliations), month-end close, and balance sheet reconciliations across multiple entities.
- Professional accounting qualification (ACCA, CIMA, ACA, or equivalent), or qualified by extensive relevant experience.
- Experience acting as the internal client for external accounting, payroll, or EOR providers — reviewing their output and holding them accountable for accuracy and compliance. A strong accounting foundation is important, alongside experience working with one or more of these provider models.
- Solid working knowledge of multi-country payroll and payroll-to-GL processes (journals, accruals, and control account reconciliations).
- Accounting ERP experience and highly advanced Excel/Google Sheet skills.
- Comfort leveraging AI and automation tools in your day-to-day work, proactively exploring how AI-driven workflows can reduce manual effort and improve controls.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

It’s a Plus If You Have

- Wider EU payroll exposure.
- Experience with EOR providers (Oyster, Deel, Remote, Papaya).
- Experience migrating to or implementing a cloud ERP.
- Experience with Rillet, Ramp, Stripe or Xero.

Our Benefits

💰 Competitive salary and employee stock options.

🌍 Fully remote setup with flexible working hours.

🏢 Co-working budget for those days you want a change from your home office.

🌴 Flexible vacation policy to recharge when you need to.

🖥️ Home office setup budget: monitor, desk, ergonomics, whatever helps you do your best work.

📚 Learning & development budget to grow your skills and career.

🏥 Health insurance to keep you covered.

🧘 Wellness allowance to support your mental and physical well-being.

🤝 Great startup culture: remote but close-knit, with regular retreats and social events to stay connected.

We are committed to a culture of inclusion and equal opportunities.
