hace 2 días

Paris

The role We are looking for a strong, technically capable Senior Accountant to join the accounting team and work alongside the existing Accounting Director and Financial Controller. This is a hands-on role with significant scope to improve the quality, speed, and rigour of our accounting and month-end processes. You will work closely with the Financial Controller on a day-to-day basis, with regular interaction with the CFO and the broader finance team including FP&A, Capital Markets, and Finance Operations. You will also have a Junior Accountant / Accounting Intern supporting you. Key Responsibilities 1. Month-End Close & Financial Reporting • Take ownership of the monthly close process with the goal of materially reducing close timelines — the target is a full close (P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement) within 10 working days, working toward 5–7 days as processes mature, • Ensure the Balance Sheet is fully closed, reconciled, and reviewed on a monthly basis, • Produce a monthly Cash Flow Statement (direct or indirect method as agreed with the FC), ensuring it reconciles to the P&L and Balance Sheet, • Prepare monthly management accounts using Fintheses, ensuring they are accurate, timely, and reconciled to the general ledger in Pennylane, • Perform and document all month-end journal entries, accruals, prepayments, deferrals, and adjustments with clear supporting documentation, • Own the month-end reconciliation pack — ensuring all key accounts (bank, intercompany, loan portfolio, receivables, payables, provisions) are reconciled and signed off each month 2. FCT & Structured Vehicle Accounting • Conduct a thorough review of the current accounting treatment of the FCT (Fonds Commun de Titrisation) in Aria’s books, identifying any errors, inconsistencies, or unstructured adjustments that need to be corrected, • Work with the Financial Controller and CFO to design and implement a proper, sustainable accounting framework for the FCT — including the correct consolidation or off-balance-sheet treatment, intercompany eliminations, and journal entry structures, • Backdate corrections where necessary and ensure a clean audit trail for all remediation work, • Review the bookings made by the outsourced accounting provider for the FCT, reconcile them against Aria’s internal records, and establish a regular review cadence to ensure ongoing alignment, • Ensure that the accounting treatment of Fiducie-sûreté structures and bond issuances is properly reflected in the books, with appropriate intercompany eliminations and consolidation adjustments, • Maintain clear documentation of the accounting policies and treatment for all structured vehicles, so that the approach is auditable and can be explained to external auditors 3. Invoicing & Revenue Recognition • Work with the Financial Controller and FinOps Manager to redesign the customer invoicing process, which is currently highly manual and takes up to 10+ days per month to complete, • Help define the requirements for an automated invoicing solution and support the business case for putting this on the product/engineering roadmap, • In the interim, implement process improvements to reduce the manual burden and error rate of the current invoicing workflow, • Ensure revenue recognition is accurate and compliant with French GAAP (Plan Comptable Général), particularly for interest income, fee income, and any deferred revenue items 4. Reconciliations & Financial Controls • Establish a comprehensive month-end reconciliation framework covering all material accounts — bank accounts, intercompany balances, loan portfolio balances, customer receivables, supplier payables, tax accounts, provisions, and accruals, • Work with the Financial Controller to identify, design, and implement financial controls that reduce manual touchpoints and increase reliability — including segregation of duties, approval workflows, and exception reporting, • Ensure that data flowing from operational systems into the accounting records is accurate and reconciled, working with the Finance Data Analyst and data team where needed, • Support the move toward a more automated controls environment over time, identifying where manual processes can be replaced by system-driven checks 5. Bookkeeping, AP & Procurement • Oversee day-to-day bookkeeping, ensuring transactions are recorded accurately and in a timely manner in Pennylane, • Manage the accounts payable process, including invoice receipt, coding, approval workflows, and payment scheduling, • Manage procurement-related accounting, ensuring proper accrual of costs and alignment between purchase orders and invoices 6. ERP Ownership & Systems • Act as the primary owner of the Pennylane accounting system from a finance perspective — maintaining the chart of accounts, ensuring proper configuration, and driving improvements in how the system is used, • Ensure that Fintheses is properly maintained and that its outputs reconcile to the underlying accounting data, • Identify opportunities to improve system integrations between Pennylane, Fintheses, banking platforms, and other operational systems 7. Audit & Compliance • Support the preparation and coordination of external audits, ensuring that audit schedules, supporting documentation, and reconciliations are prepared in advance and to a high standard, • Prepare statutory financial statements under French GAAP (Plan Comptable Général), • Support tax compliance activities, including VAT returns, corporate tax provisions, and any transfer pricing documentation required across jurisdictions, • Ensure accounting policies are documented, up to date, and consistently applied across all entities 8. Process Improvement & Automation • Continuously identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in accounting and finance operations processes and propose solutions, • Work with the Financial Controller and FinOps Manager to improve the linkage and automation between finance operations processes and accounting, • Contribute to building a finance function that can scale with the business — processes that work at current volumes should also work at 3–5x the volume The team 🧑 🧑 🧒 • 1 CFO, • 1 Financial Controller, • 1 Accounting Director, • 1 Junior Accountant, • 1 Data Analyst Qualifications 🎓 Must Have • 5–8 years of experience in accounting, with a meaningful portion spent in a hands-on, operational accounting role (not purely audit or advisory), • Professional accounting qualification (DEC, DSCG, or equivalent such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA), • Strong knowledge of French GAAP (Plan Comptable Général) and its application in practice, • Strong technical accounting knowledge, including experience with full Balance Sheet closes, Cash Flow Statement preparation, and consolidation, • Hands-on experience with month-end close processes and a demonstrable track record of improving close timelines and quality, • Experience with reconciliations at a detailed level — bank reconciliations, intercompany reconciliations, subledger-to-GL reconciliations, and balance sheet account reconciliations, • Strong understanding of revenue recognition, accruals, prepayments, and provisions, • Experience working with or accounting for structured finance vehicles such as FCTs (Fonds Commun de Titrisation), trusts, or similar consolidation-complex entities is highly desirable, • Proficiency with cloud-based accounting systems (Pennylane, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, or similar), • Advanced Excel skills, • Professional proficiency in both French and English (written and spoken), • Strong attention to detail and an instinct for identifying when something doesn’t look right, • Knowledge of IFRS, • Experience at a fintech, lending company, or financial services business with complex funding structures, • Familiarity with multi-entity, multi-currency, and multi-jurisdictional accounting, • Background in a Big 4 or mid-tier audit firm (particularly in financial services audit), • Experience with invoicing automation or billing system design, • Knowledge of VAT across multiple EU jurisdictions ARIA Experience 🚀 • A fast-growing company: Join a team that is scaling rapidly., • High-impact projects: Work on ambitious goals within a massive, high-potential market., • Expert leadership: Collaborate with a team of seasoned industry specialists., • True flexibility: Enjoy a work-life balance that fits your needs, including remote work options., • Prime location: Stunning offices located in the heart of Le Marais (4th Arrondissement, Paris).
