About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Ensure Seyna's financial integrity: you will be the guarantor of the reliability of the accounts, the accuracy of period closes and the robustness of accounting processes — no surprises, no last‑minute restatements.
Master insurance accounting in all its complexity: technical provisions, reinsurance treaties, insurer‑specific balance‑sheet mechanisms — you will be the go‑to expert on these topics within Seyna.
Industrialize and automate the accounting function: you will build and continuously improve accounting tools and processes, minimize critical manual operations and shorten closing cycles.
Oversee cash management: broker and reinsurer collections, payment terms, dunning, and the consistency between bordereaux and the income statement — you will ensure there is never unanticipated cash pressure.
Drive tax compliance: filings, optimization within the legal framework, and managing relations with the tax authorities.
Prepare Seyna for due diligences: you will ensure the accounting department can produce at any time complete, coherent and high‑quality financial documentation for investors, auditors and the regulator (ACPR).
Manage and develop the accounting team: you will lead the team, support their skills development and take an active role in hiring.

Proven experience building or redesigning a scalable finance function with industrialized, automated accounting systems.
Ability to understand the complexities of a fast‑growing company and anticipate their impact on the accounting scope.
Strong analytical skills: you know how to dive into the data and trace the end‑to‑end flow of accounting information — including in a data environment as specific as Seyna's.

Clear, concise and impactful communication with internal and external stakeholders (banks, statutory auditors/CAC, regulator).
Calm under pressure and able to prioritize effectively even when things move quickly.
Bonus: prior interest or experience with AI and its applications in accounting — a real plus in an experimental environment.
