Your mission
We are looking for a forward-thinking, experienced finance professional to own the financial controlling of Alan's French entities.
You will be part of our Financial Controlling team, within Financial Reporting - the feedback engine of our finance system. Your job is to own the numbers. You are not just reporting figures: you are the person who truly understands what they mean and drives action from them.
You will work in full autonomy, in close collaboration with our Financial Data, Finance Strategy, and operational teams, serving as the bridge between financial figures and the business.
What you will do
Owning the financial reporting of your entities, including monthly P&L and Balance Sheet reviews, variance analysis, commentary and audit readiness.
Ensuring figures are accurate, well-documented and always ready for scrutiny: you will own the organization of the finance function in these subsidiaries and the financial integration of potential acquired companies.
Challenging, improving and automating financial processes, from writing controlling specifications for our Financial Data team to identifying improvement points in the monthly reporting cycle and driving concrete improvements.
Partnering with cross‑functional teams to ensure financial data is well understood and leveraged for decision‑making, and owning specific financial streams transversally across geographies.
Contributing to scaling the team, including participating in hiring and onboarding future team members.
Qualifications
Financial expertise: at least 5 years of experience of French accounting standards and how financial statements work; background in a top audit firm and/or a fast‑paced scale‑up. Familiarity with consolidation and process automation are a bonus.
Languages: Fluent in both English and French.
Analytical mindset: Strong analytical skills with the ability to maintain a holistic view while staying rigorous at the detail level. Basic SQL or AI tools knowledge is a bonus.
Soft skills: Rigorous, hands‑on and highly organized. Critical thinker who comes with concrete proposals. Comfortable working with both finance and non‑finance stakeholders. Strong ability to work autonomously, move forward independently and make clear decisions even in ambiguous situations.
Familiarity with insurance accounting or regulated financial entities is a strong plus.
For this role we are looking to hire within the C1-D level range.

Location: You must be legally eligible to work from France.
