Run our key accounting processes: lead monthly, quarterly, and year-end closings
Ensure a feedback loop to drive process improvements, surface anomalies, flag data gaps, and actively contribute to making the closing faster, more automated, and more reliable over time.
Month-end close: own the end-to-end closing cycle across multiple legal entities; post pre-formatted journal entries into NetSuite, ensure completeness and accuracy, and deliver on schedule every month (target: close by D+5)
Accounting review: perform a thorough first-level review of balance sheet and P&L accounts at each close; identify unusual movements, resolve discrepancies, and ensure the overall reliability of the financial statements; build processes (routines, verification files, control procedures)
Account and bank reconciliation: maintain clean, up-to-date reconciliations across all balance sheet accounts and entities on a daily basis
Contribute to finance transformation and system improvements: identify manual or repetitive tasks and collaborate with Financial Data to drive automation and reduce closing friction over time; translate new business streams and P&L lines into accounting (acting as an interface between business teams and Finance)
Tax and statutory compliance: prepare and file VAT returns, URSSAF declarations, and other statutory filings accurately and on time; coordinate with external advisors where needed
