Your Mission
As Group Financial Controller, you’ll be part of the Finance organization, having full ownership of Accounting and Treasury landscape across our US and French entities. Your job: make sure our books are airtight, our cash is always under control, and our actuals are so reliable that the CFO and FP&A can move fast with confidence.
You’ll have end-to-end ownership of the month-end close, accounting policies, intercompany flows, and cash routines, working closely with FP&A, Accountants and external accounting firms. You’re the person who turns moving parts into a coherent system and makes sure everyone trusts the numbers.
This role is perfect for someone who wants real responsibility and visibility: you’ll be the go-to finance partner for “what really happened,” shaping the backbone of our financial statements, reporting and cash management as we scale an international startup.
What you will do
Own and run the monthly close for our US and French entities, with a clear calendar and checklist.
Coordinate and challenge our external accounting firms (US & FR) to ensure accurate and timely books.
Define, document, and enforce accounting policies (revenue recognition, capex, one-offs, FX, etc.).
Set intercompany policies, making sure US and FR balances match.
Produce a monthly actuals pack (P&L by entity and Group, by function/cost center) ready for FP&A analysis.
Perform first-level variance analysis, highlighting and explaining the main movements in actuals.
Lead cash reporting and short-term cash forecasting, providing a consolidated Group cash view.
Standardize payment processes and approval workflows, ensuring proper segregation of duties.
Monitor working capital (AP/AR aging, key suppliers, prepayments) and support day-to-day treasury operations.
Implement pragmatic internal controls and process documentation, and help improve our finance tools stack.
Manage External Audit
You’d be a great fit if you have:
6–10+ years of experience in accounting/audit and controlling/reporting, ideally in a scale-up or international environment.
Strong knowledge of accounting standards (US GAAP and/or IFRS; French GAAP exposure is a plus).
Hands-on experience with multi-entity setups and intercompany flows; comfortable coordinating external firms.
Very strong Excel/Sheets skills; familiarity with ERPs, reporting, or consolidation tools is a plus.
Process-oriented, detail-focused, and comfortable building structure from scratch in a fast-growing startup.
Excellent communication skills in English; French is a strong plus.
