As part of a growing international business, we have centralized professional Finance function at our headquarters. To ensure smooth local operations in France, we need a reliable on-the-ground partner who can look after essential finance tasks.  

This role is focused on finance, preparing the month-end close, preparing statutory reports (including VAT), reconciling intercompany transactions and general ledger accounts, and supporting statutory audits. You will work closely with external consultants and cross-functional teams to ensure our French operations stay compliant and financially clear.

• Prepare intercompany transaction reconciliations across international operations.
• Prepare detailed general ledger (GL) account specifications and reconciliations.
• Deliver monthly management reporting to headquarters, including budget vs. actual analysis, forecasts and commentary on the French business.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure financial clarity supports operational goals.
• Assist with statutory audits by providing accurate documentation and timely responses.
• Maintain internal controls and continuously improve local finance processes.

What You’ll Need in Your Toolkit: 
✔️4–6 years of accounting experience, preferably in a high-growth or technical environment.   
✔️Solid knowledge of French GAAP (PCG) and statutory/tax compliance — VAT, corporate income tax, liasse fiscale — with exposure to group (IFRS) reporting a plus. 
✔️Experience working with an expert-comptable and statutory auditors (CAC), and managing month-end close in an international, multi-entity environment.  
✔️Proficiency in ERP systems and advanced Excel skills. 
✔️Fluent in English & French. 
✔️Hands-on, detail-oriented, and solutions-focused mindset.  

Soft Skills for the Win(d): 
💬 Strong communication & team collaboration skills.

Note To 3rd Parties:

Here at Full Circle, we are very lucky to be very successful in recruiting all our new employees ourselves. Something we are very proud of. Despite our kind requests to all of you not to reach out for support in this area, our HR team, hiring managers and our front office are overwhelmed with contact requests, telephone calls, email requests and other attempts to get in touch. We know you guys are out there, we understand that this cold acquisition is part of your job, but we strongly request that you respect our time and not reach out. We want to use all the time we have to make the world a greener place!
 
If we ever need support, we’ll work with our preferred suppliers (and no, we are not looking for new ones ;-))
 
We appreciate your understanding on this, and we wish you the best of luck in finding your next client.
