Finance Project Accountant

Reporting to the Head of Finance in a flat organisation, you will take an active role in the Group consolidation with the support of external consultants. This is a newly created position: the consolidation has been set-up for the first exercise in 2025 — your role is to run it and make it scale along with the growth of the company.

You will act as the central point of contact between our external auditors, our IFRS advisors and our local finance teams. In parallel, you will review the accounting operations by designing and rolling out internal controls, raising the bar on reporting quality, and standardizing practices across entities in France, Belgium, Switzerland and the United States. 

We expect you to be curious, pragmatic and proactive: someone who takes initiative, challenges the status quo and brings concrete improvements to the table.

• Run the quarterly and annual consolidation process under IFRS across all Group entities (France, Belgium, Switzerland, United States), with the support of external consultants

• Strong communication skills — able to interact with auditors, consultants and local finance teams with the same clarity
• A structured, rigorous and organized approach to your work
• The autonomy to take ownership and the appetite for responsibility — you set the pace, you drive the topic
• A pragmatic, proactive mindset and a real taste for initiative

• Hands-on experience running a consolidation process is a strong plus.
• Working knowledge of Anaplan — a strong plus, particularly on the consolidation / financial reporting side
• Hands-on experience with Odoo

• Exposure to an industrial sector — space, aviation or production is a strong asset
