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.
