Ok, sounds promising. What will I be doing?

As part of the Finance Team, you'll be responsible for reporting and managing the closing.

You will report to Vp Finance and work closely with Financial controller, Accounting team and Sales ops team.

To be more specific, this includes:

1. Financial Operations & Processes 🤖

  • Oversee daily financial transactions, including accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), General Ledger (GL) and bank reconciliations
  • Manage the billing process to ensure timely and accurate invoicing, especially for subscription-based revenue streams
  • Ensure accurate revenue recognition aligned with SaaS industry standards (e.g., ASC 606)
  • Work closely with Sales Ops to manage and improve collections and DSO metrics

2. Systems & Reporting 🔎

  • Maintain and optimize finance ERP and AP software (Cegid, QuickBooks, Spendesk)
  • Be responsible for accounting closing and reporting. Prepare monthly reports on cash flow, revenue, and operational expenses
  • Assist with monthly and quarterly financial close processes, including reconciliations and journal entries
  • You will handle the accounting closing process: Accruals and unbilled review and follow up

3. Compliance & Audits 🌱

  • Support tax filings, audits, and other compliance-related activities
  • Ensure compliance with internal controls and help establish scalable policies as the company grows
  • You will process Balance Sheet control: AP/AR/CCA/PCA/TVA (UK/FR), Balance Sheet Building, P&L building and Cash Reporting Building and Analysis

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration 🤝

  • Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Product teams to refine pricing models and optimize contract structures
  • Support FP&A with data inputs for forecasting and budgeting exercises
That sounds just right for me. What do I need to bring?

Glad you asked. This is who we’re looking for:

Qualifications 🏆

  • You bring a minimum of 4/5 years of experience as an auditor/ consultant as a first experience and then a finance role within a tech SaaS Startup such as French Tech startups
  • Strong understanding of SaaS metrics like ARR, MRR, CAC, LTV, and churn
  • Familiarity with revenue recognition principles and subscription billing platforms
  • Proficiency in accounting software and advanced Excel skills

Qualities 🧠

  • A hands-on problem solver, self-motivated with a glass half-full attitude
  • An entrepreneurial mind, ready to launch and fail and iterate
  • You’re an empathetic team player that is great at building lasting relationships
  • Attuned to remote collaboration, using digital tools and meticulously documenting work
  • A strong desire to evolve on the SaaS & Tech environment

Copy that. And what’s in it for me?

You will be joining an exciting young business that has the humble ambition to change the world. With a proven track record in starting companies, we’re planning to hit the ground running and have an impact fast. Joining this journey right at the beginning allows you to really help shape our path.
