Senior Accountant, International

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential collectibles organization seeking a hands-on Senior Accountant to own day-to-day accounting operations for their France entity and ensure strong local statutory execution. This role is critical to maintaining audit readiness, supporting monthly close, and strengthening financial discipline as the business scales across Europe.

You will partner closely with local Operations and Seller teams while coordinating monthly close and compliance deliverables with external accounting providers. This is a high-impact role designed to transition from a contractor-based model to a stable, in-house finance capability that ensures rigor, speed, and operational excellence.

Core Accounting Duties:

• Execute month-end close: collect invoices and support documentation, prepare accruals and reversals, perform cut-off checks, run calculations, and reconcile key balance sheet accounts
• Manage vendor and payments operations: verify invoices against trackers and business owners; prepare payment proposals and support payment execution with appropriate controls
• Oversee banking and cash operations: download statements, reconcile bank and payment processor balances, investigate variances, and provide balance evidence to the accounting provider
• Support tax compliance: prepare inputs and review monthly VAT deliverables with third party tax consultants; maintain supporting documentation
• Handle intercompany and recharges: gather supporting data, validate recharge calculations, and support timely posting and settlement
• Maintain close governance: maintain closing checklist and calendar, track open items, and ensure timely submission from third party bookkeeping firms through to monthly group reporting
• Ensure audit readiness: maintain clear documentation, provide support for auditor requests, and ensure evidence retention including contracts, invoices, trackers, and approvals

Seller and Operations Support:

• Support seller-facing finance operations: validate commissions and incentives, confirm trackers with teams, and resolve operational finance questions
• Partner with seller teams on issue triage, documentation collection, and invoice and contract follow-up
• Identify repetitive manual tasks suitable for automation; partner with Finance leadership to implement improvements

Cross-Functional Coordination:

• Report directly to Accounting and Finance Leadership
• Support Commercial leadership on analyzing results and supporting special projects
• Coordinate with external accounting providers on monthly booking, VAT, and reporting deliverables
• Work day-to-day with Sellers and local Operations teams on issue resolution and documentation

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's Degree and 5+ years experience in accounting or statutory environment, preferably inclusive of experience within a Big Four accounting firm
• Strong working knowledge of French and UK GAAP, IFRS, and US GAAP and month-end close best practices
• Fluency in both French and English required
• Comfort with high-volume operational work, reconciliations, and documentation rigor
• Strong Excel skills; experience with outsourced bookkeeping and shared portals preferred
• Demonstrated ability to meet close calendar deadlines consistently with accuracy
• Track record of process improvement through automation, templates, and standardization
