About GitGuardian GitGuardian is a global cybersecurity scale-up. The company is based in Paris, New-York City, Boston. Among our early investors who saw our market value proposition, are the co-founder of GitHub, Scott Chacon, along with Solomon Hykes, Docker's co-founder. American and European top-tier VC firms have also invested in GitGuardian. GitGuardian leads the way in Non-Human Identity security , offering end-to-end solutions from secrets detection in code, productivity tools and environments to strong remediation, observability and proactive prevention of leaks. We recently closed a $50M Series C funding round. This milestone reflects the strength of our growth trajectory and our ambition to lead the next chapter of enterprise cybersecurity. About your team and your mission At GitGuardian, the Finance department is a small (4 members) yet high-impact team, acting as a growth enabler so the company can scale globally while keeping operations sustainable. We have been steadily evolving our finance tool stack to bring in more automation and connectivity, and the next building block to deploy is a group-level harmonization: consolidation between France and the US, and a more robust international compliance approach (including tax exposure on local and cross-border flows). This role will own the accounting, tax and compliance of a group operating from France and the US. Reporting to the Finance Director, your main responsibilities will be: Group Consolidation Design and run the group consolidation process between our French parent company and our US subsidiary. Define the consolidation policies, the reporting package, the closing calendar, and the tooling that fits our scale. Establish the bridges between French GAAP and US GAAP where required, and document the conventions so the framework holds as the company evolves. Produce reliable group financials that the board, our auditors and our investors can trust. Tax & International Structure Own all tax matters end-to-end: French corporate income tax, VAT, US sales tax, intercompany flows and transfer pricing between our French and US entities. Make sure our legal and tax structure supports the company's international growth, and that we stay compliant as the footprint expands. Accounting & Technical Accounting Deliver fast, accurate and predictable month-end and year-end closes. Shorten the cycle time without sacrificing quality. Take direct ownership of complex topics: revenue recognition, leases, deferred tax, foreign exchange, intercompany eliminations. You are comfortable both designing the framework and writing the journal entry when needed. Audit & Internal Controls Lead the annual statutory audit for the French entity and build the foundation for a group consolidated audit. Develop a long-term partnership with our auditors and turn findings into concrete improvements. Build and enforce internal controls and accounting policies aligned with French GAAP, with US GAAP overlays where consolidation requires it. Document the rules so the team can rely on them. Run an ongoing risk assessment across accounting, tax and cash. Surface issues early and propose remediation. Process Transformation & Automation Make our finance function a benchmark for efficiency. Identify and ship high-leverage applications of AI and automation across accounting workflows (reconciliations, invoice processing, anomaly detection, closing tasks, audit prep) so the team spends time on judgment rather than typing. Tooling Strategy: Continuously assess our accounting and tax tooling, propose upgrades when the team has outgrown them, and own the migrations. Team Leadership & Strategic Partnership Manage and grow the accounting team. Start with the Accounting Manager and scale the team as the business grows. Coach, raise the bar, and build a place where good accountants want to work. Translate accounting, tax and consolidation implications into clear business guidance for strategic projects: new subsidia
