Role
Who you are
- Technical Expert (6+ years of experience): You have a solid background in revenue recognition (IFRS 15), with experience in financial reporting, audit, or technical accounting—ideally in tech, SaaS, or high-growth environments. You’ve worked on complex sales contracts (subscriptions, multi-element arrangements) and collaborated with Sales, Legal, and Finance teams to ensure compliance and accuracy
- Problem Solver: Analytical and detail-oriented, you thrive in fast-paced environments, turning intricate revenue scenarios into clear, actionable processes. Your approach is pragmatic, hands-on, and solution-driven
- Business Partner: A strong communicator who simplifies technical jargon for non-finance stakeholders. You build trust by balancing rigor with adaptability, ensuring alignment across teams
- Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, etc.) and tools like RevPro or Zuora. You understand how to translate contract terms into revenue recognition policies and leverage technology to streamline workflows
- Proactive & Collaborative: You take ownership of processes, anticipate risks, and drive continuous improvement. Your mindset is positive, adaptable, and focused on delivering results—no challenge is too complex or too small

- Transaction Review: Proactively assess ongoing sales negotiations to determine the appropriate accounting treatment in line with IFRS 15 and Mistral AI’s transition from French GAAP, ensuring alignment with company policies
- Quarterly Compliance: Review and document the accounting treatment of closed transactions at each quarter-end, ensuring accuracy and compliance
- Issue Identification: Identify and escalate revenue recognition issues for in-progress deals within the quarter, reporting findings promptly to internal stakeholders
- Deal Structuring: Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Legal) during negotiations, providing guidance to achieve optimal revenue outcomes while adhering to IFRS 15
- Adjustment Requests: Prepare and submit necessary accounting adjustment requests for revenue recognition, coordinating with the Accounting team
- Reporting & Analysis: Compile required reporting and analysis files for the Accounting team
- Process Improvement: Contribute to projects aimed at enhancing and automating existing control and analysis processes in relation to Revenue Recognition
Our take
Founded by Facebook AI researchers, Mistral AI focuses on developing open-source generative AI models to "make AI useful." It emerged in early 2023, quickly achieving a $260 million valuation.
Mistral features up to 176 billion parameters, and its open-source nature has sparked concerns about potential misuse. However, Mistral remains a formidable competitor in the AI landscape, challenging models from Google and Meta.
In 2025, Mistral secured a massive €1.7 billion funding round, raising its valuation to €11.7 billion. This Series B funding, led by European chip firm ASML, underscores significant interest in alternatives to ChatGPT and a push away from Silicon Valley dependence by European AI competitors.
