Health can’t wait.

Not for symptoms to get worse. Not for a six‑month appointment. Not for a system to catch up. But that’s exactly how healthcare works today. You wait, until you can’t.

Alan exists to end the wait.

Health is a universal right, and we believe this right can only become real when it’s coupled with prevention. We need to stop treating health as something we repair and start treating it as something we build, every day. It’s not solely a question of willpower. It’s the healthcare system itself that needs to work for everyone, in a sustainable way.

So we are building the new standard in prevention insurance. Alan is the first company that integrates insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience.

We are on an incredible journey to build a global leading company, with a unique culture. We already partner with 40K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 1M+ members, and have reached €800M+ in ARR.

Prevention as the new norm. That's what we're building with our team of 800+ people. If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond.

📈 Finance community at Alan

Finance & Strategy exists to enable better decisions, faster, at every level of the company, in a regulated, diverse and ever changing business.

We succeed when ambitious goals become credible plans, when strategic bets are grounded in financial reality, and when the entire company (not just Finance!) speaks the language of performance.

We set the right ambition, we monitor whether we're getting there, and we raise our hand when something needs to change.

We are not record-keepers. We are builders, partners, and challengers. We are looking for people who want to build, support decision making processes and challenge the status quo.

 

The core responsibilities of the Finance & Strategy community are:

  • Strategy & Planning: steers Alan's financial performance through business planning, financial and operational monitoring, investor relations and financing

  • Financial Reporting: is the steward of Alan's financial truth, ensuring that we produce accurate, timely financial data. It owns the reporting to all key stakeholders (board, leadership team, tax authorities, and regulators like the ACPR) and ensures that financial data is the single, uncontested source of truth for the company's performance.

  • Finance Data and Operations: Build and own the core finance data and tooling infrastructure (models, pipelines, and concepts that connect business operations to financial reality). This is where Finance meets product thinking

  • Functional poles with end-to-end ownership of their domain: Treasury, Procurement, M&A

⭐️ Your mission ⭐️

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.

 
⭐️ What you will do ⭐️
  • 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; build processes (routines, verification files, control procedures)

  • Account and bank reconciliation: maintain clean, up-to-date reconciliations across all balance sheet accounts and entities on a daily basis;

  • Contribute to finance transformation and system improvements: identify manual or repetitive tasks and collaborate with Financial Data to drive automation and reduce closing friction over time ; translate new business streams and P&L lines into accounting (acting as an interface between business teams and Finance)

  • 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

⭐️ Qualifications ⭐️

Experience and technical skills

  • 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

 

Mindset and soft skills

  • 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

For this role we are looking to hire within the B0-C0 level range.

 
🌍 How we work
  • Location: You must be legally eligible to work from France.

  • Remote work: We offer remote work flexibility, but we value in-person collaboration
