Role
Who you are
- 4 to 6 years of accounting experience minimum, in an accounting firm or in-house at a fast-paced startup/scale-up
- Languages: full fluency in French and English
- Deep command of French accounting standards: VAT rules, URSSAF declarations, bank reconciliation, general ledger management, and month-end close processes
- Proven ability to own a closing cycle end-to-end, including identifying and resolving issues independently
- Hands-on experience with an ERP (NetSuite is a strong plus)
- Comfortable with spreadsheets (Google Sheets or Excel); familiarity with modern accounting tools (Pennylane, Payflows, etc.) is a plus
- Reliable and detail-oriented: you deliver on time, every time, and keep a clean audit trail
- Autonomous and self-directed: you don't wait to be told what to do next; you manage your priorities, make decisions independently, and know how to take a step back to distinguish what truly matters from day-to-day noise
- Process-driven: you naturally question how things are done and come with concrete ideas to improve them
- Curious about automation and tooling; comfortable working in a data-driven environment
- Clear communicator: you know when to move independently and when to escalate
- If you're excited about this opportunity but don't check every box, we'd love to hear from you. Everyone, no matter how underrepresented, should feel free to apply, as it can only bring learnings or success
- If you identify yourself as a woman: Did you know that research shows women often apply only when meeting 100% of requirements?
- Remember, this is just a guide, not a checklist. We'll be thrilled to receive your application!
What the job involves
- We are looking for a rigorous and hands-on accountant to help shape and run Alan's closing production process
- You will be part of our Financial Reporting area, focusing on Financial production. This area ensures that every number in our books is accurate, timely, and trustworthy, and serves as the source of truth for all financial decisions across the company
- Your role will be twofold:
- Run our key accounting processes: Lead monthly, quarterly, and year-end closings
- Ensure a feedback loop to drive process improvements, surface anomalies, flag data gaps, and actively contribute to making the closing faster, more automated, and more reliable over time. You will be a key partner to our Financial Operations and Data teams
- Month-end close: own the end-to-end closing cycle across multiple legal entities; push pre-formatted journal entries into NetSuite, ensure completeness and accuracy, and deliver on schedule every month (target: J+5)
- Accounting review: perform a thorough first-level review of balance sheet and P&L accounts at each close; identify unusual movements, resolve discrepancies, and ensure the overall reliability of the financial statements
- Account and bank reconciliation: maintain clean, up-to-date reconciliations across all balance sheet accounts and entities on a daily basis; flag and follow up on any discrepancies proactively
- Tax and statutory compliance: prepare and file VAT returns, URSSAF declarations, and other statutory filings accurately and on time; coordinate with external advisors where needed
- Contribute to finance transformation and system improvements: flag inconsistencies surfaced during the production cycle back to Financial Data, identify manual or repetitive tasks and collaborate with Financial Data to drive automation and reduce closing friction over time
Our take
Alan addresses health insurance for businesses and employees in Europe through a healthcare app, backed by official regulatory approval. This endorsement grants Alan the ability to offer a wide range of regulated healthcare insurance services, distinguishing itself in the market.
Focused on user experience and customer satisfaction, Alan employs a people-centric approach, streamlining insurance claims and designing user-friendly health insurance products. While competitors like Babylon and Ada Health exist, Alan's primary focus on health insurance sets it apart.
Despite macroeconomic challenges prompting a goal realignment, Alan achieved significant revenue growth in 2023 and reached a valuation of $4.5 billion in late 2024. This was driven by impressive funding rounds and an expansion of its client base, leveraging AI tools for enhanced productivity. With a robust cash revenue, Alan plans to sustain growth, consolidate its position in the existing markets, and explore expansion into new territories, positioning itself for a potential future IPO.
