Make Your Mark as an Financial Controller FR at Storio group

About the role

As Financial Controller France, you have end to end ownership of financial control, statutory reporting, and month end and year end close for all French legal entities. You act as the recognised accounting subject matter expert for France, ensuring the integrity of financial statements, maintaining a robust control environment, and ensuring compliance with Group Accounting Policies, IFRS, and local statutory requirements.

Working autonomously, you lead accounting activities for the French entities and partner with finance and cross functional stakeholders. You ensure accurate recognition of revenue, costs, assets, and liabilities, deliver timely submissions of monthly and annual results, and act as a technical advisor for complex transaction queries.

How you embrace curiosity daily

  • Lead month end and year end close for all French entities, ensuring accurate financial statements in line with Group Accounting Policies and IFRS.
  • Review, challenge, and approve journal entries, bank reconciliations, and balance sheet reconciliations, resolving significant balances prior to close.
  • Own the review and integrity of inventory accounting, valuation, costing, and reserves, partnering with Supply Chain on physical cycle counts.
  • Review and approve accruals, prepayments, and deferred revenue balances, enforcing strict cut off procedures to prevent period leakage.
  • Oversee fixed asset additions in the register, maintain depreciation schedules, and partner with Technology teams to assess and capitalise projects.
  • Guide the Accounting Service Centre on Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable workflows to resolve issues and streamline close activities.
  • Redesign and automate the France close process, consolidating manual reconciliations into an Oracle workflow within the central reporting framework.

How you make your mark

  • Take ownership of the financial integrity of all French accounts, ensuring all statutory and Group reporting requirements are met.
  • Act as the definitive interpreter of Group Accounting Policy for France, building the precedent for statutory, GAAP, and tax questions.
  • Lead statutory audit activities as the primary contact for external auditors, ensuring audit findings are resolved quickly.
  • Identify potential financial and balance sheet risks across a rolling six month horizon.
  • Evaluate the impact of new accounting guidelines on workflows and update standard procedures with your peers.
  • Partner with FP&A and Treasury to deliver weekly cash flow reporting and provide technical accounting insights for budgets and forecasts.

What you bring to the team

  • Progressive accounting experience, ideally starting in a major audit practice followed by a senior reporting role in a multinational corporate environment.
  • Deep understanding of GAAP and IFRS principles, statutory reporting standards, and month end close processes.
  • Hands on experience managing balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepayments, fixed asset registers, and inventory valuation.
  • Strong partner management skills, working across FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Supply Chain, and shared service centres.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and complex formulas.
  • Experience working with enterprise ERP systems, preferably Oracle Fusion.

What sets you apart

  • A professional accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CPA, or CIMA.
  • A bachelor degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Professional French language skills.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
