Who We Are:
At Omaze, we give our community in the UK and Germany the chance to win luxury homes and other life-changing prizes — all while raising money for the causes they love.

Thanks to our Omaze Community, we’ve raised over £150 million for UK charities in just five years. That’s millions helping organisations like Age UK, the RSPCA, British Heart Foundation and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity deliver life-saving work.

And the best part? We’re only just getting started. Omaze is building a business and culture committed to growth and creating significant social impact on a global scale.

🔑 About The Job

To provide senior leadership continuity for UK accounting during a maternity-cover of 12 months owning the UK close, statutory reporting, audit delivery and financial controls for a high-growth, complex business. This is a hands-on director role in a lean team that has recently undergone significant transformation (an NetSuite migration, new products, etc), with several major reporting and governance obligations landing during the cover period. The successful candidate will combine strong technical and operational accounting with practical leadership and the ability to keep a fast-moving finance function running smoothly.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

• Monthly close: own the UK close on a US GAAP basis, plus the UK statutory (IFRS / FRS 101) books, ensuring accurate, timely and standards-compliant reporting.

• Audit: act as primary day-to-day contact for the Omaze UK Ltd and Omaze UK Holdco statutory audits (Deloitte).

• Team & operations: manage the UK accounting team and coordinate the outsourced accounts payable team, overseeing accounts payable (ApprovalMax) and day-to-day banking and treasury operations (Barclays, JPM).

• Technical accounting: oversee complex, recurring areas including prize-draw revenue recognition, charity liabilities (five-year, present-value-discounted payout schedules), winner payout schedules (twelve-month standing orders), lease accounting, and intercompany loans and cost push-downs across the group.

• Tax & compliance: support VAT, corporation tax, and other HMRC filings (PSA, ERS) in coordination with external advisers (KPMG).

• Controls & process: maintain and strengthen financial controls and standard operating procedure (SOP) documentation as part of the broader controls-framework initiative.

• Group collaboration: partner with the German, and Global Accounting Directors and the Chief Accounting Officer on grou

💪 What Success will look like

A well-run UK close and a clean, on-time statutory audit; accurate handling of the group's more complex recurring accounting; a supported, well-managed team; and controls and documentation left in as strong or stronger a position at the end of the cover period. Above all, seamless continuity so that UK accounting continues to operate to a high standard throughout.

• Exposure to VAT-complex or regulated consumer businesses.
