Join Oceans as an Accounting or Finance Professional

Real opportunities. Real impact. Your career, redefined.

(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans, so please apply for only one position and only once a year—if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later.)

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 work—they 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.

By joining our Accounting and Finance Talent Pool, you’ll be considered for opportunities across a wide range of finance and accounting functions, including:

• Accountant
• AP Specialist
• AR Specialist
• Finance Operations
• Financial Analyst
• Financial Controller
• FP&A Analyst
• Fraud Specialist
• Strategic Finance Lead
• And more

Your success as part of the Oceans Accounting and Finance Talent Pool will be defined by your ability to support sound financial operations, deliver accurate analysis, and contribute to strategic decision-making across growing businesses. You don’t need expertise in every area to apply — we value adaptability, ownership, and a willingness to grow.

Here’s how you’ll make an impact: 

• Support day-to-day accounting and finance workflows with accuracy and attention to detail
• Prepare financial reports, reconciliations, forecasts, and analyses that support business decisions
• Contribute to financial planning, budgeting, and operational efficiency initiatives 

• Partner with leadership, operations teams, and external stakeholders to support financial goals
• Communicate financial information clearly and effectively across teams
• Contribute to high-quality financial support that enables business growth and operational clarity 

As part of the Oceans community, you’ll collaborate with high-caliber professionals and industry leaders, gaining mentorship and exposure that accelerate your career growth.

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

At Oceans, we believe in T-shaped individuals—those who bring deep expertise in one area paired with broad curiosity across the business. Depending on the opportunity, your vertical focus may include accounting, analysis, financial operations, reporting, or compliance, while your horizontal strengths may include systems thinking, communication, collaboration, and operational problem-solving. 

To excel in accounting and finance opportunities at Oceans, you should have:

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in accounting, finance, financial operations, or related functions.
• Communication Skills: Professional fluency in English, with strong written and verbal communication abilities.
• Financial & Analytical Skills: Strong numerical reasoning, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.
• Technical Fluency: Familiarity with spreadsheets, finance systems, accounting tools, or reporting platforms relevant to your field.
• Collaboration & Ownership: Ability to manage priorities, work cross-functionally, and operate effectively in remote environments.
• Mindset: Proactive, organized, solutions-oriented, and committed to continuous learning and growth.

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.

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 3.5 weeks with us. During the offer process, we’ll share more information about our benefits and compensation philosophy, considering both market trends and individual factors. 

At Oceans Talent, we connect the world’s top talent with visionary companies building what’s next. Here, you’re not just stepping into another role — you’re joining a team that values individuality, ambition, and growth without limits. Unique, like you.

We’re always excited to share more about our journey, where we’re headed, and how you can grow with us throughout the interview process.
