Accounting & Operations Officer | up to 65k€

Our client is currently looking for its next Accounting & Operations Officer (Fluent French/English) to strengthen its finance team based in Seine-et-Marne.

What makes this opportunity stand out: 2 mandatory remote working days per week (Monday and Friday).

Please note: the office location is not accessible by public transportation, so a car is required.

To succeed in this role, the candidate must combine strong technical accounting expertise with a proactive and hands-on mindset. He will need to ensure full ownership of the French entity’s accounting activities, guaranteeing accuracy, compliance with French GAAP, and alignment with group policies.

Success will rely on delivering reliable and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual closings, maintaining rigorous internal controls, and ensuring accurate VAT reporting. The candidate must confidently manage accounts payable and receivable, supervise cash flow processes, and produce clear financial reports for both local and EMEA stakeholders.

Beyond technical skills, the role requires strong coordination abilities, working effectively with external partners (auditors, tax advisors, payroll providers) and collaborating closely with international teams. A structured, detail-oriented approach, combined with the ability to operate autonomously in a dynamic environment, will be essential.

Finally, thriving in this position also means embracing the operational side of the role, overseeing office-related matters and supplier relationships and acting as a reliable financial and operational anchor for the local organization.
