250+ local authorities rely on Vizzia to keep their streets cleaner and safer. Growing from there means deciding faster: which contracts to push, which products to price differently, where the next euro goes. Those calls need numbers that are current, not numbers that land three weeks after the month has closed.
That is what this role is for. We are looking for a Head of Finance to own the finance function end to end: the monthly close, the cash position, the budget and the plan, and the reporting that tells the company where margin is actually made. A good part of the job is building the plumbing before running it, so that inventory and CRM data feeds the reporting on its own and a five day close holds month after month.
Vizzia sells hardware and software to public sector clients, which means real physical flows, real working capital, and a business plan that moves with prices and sales.
What You'll Do1. Close the month and steer the cash
Produce the P&L and the cash position within five working days of month end
Own the monthly close and keep the calendar predictable enough that the rest of the company plans around it
Run the cash rather than only report it: working capital, collections, payment terms
Keep the reporting fine enough to read margin at contract and product level, not only consolidated
2. Build the data chain behind the numbers
Connect the inventory and CRM data to the reporting so figures arrive automatically instead of being reconciled by hand
Set up the reporting and modelling foundations the company relies on to decide
3. Own the budget, the plan and the forecast
Build the annual budget and hold it against actuals
Reforecast frequently as sales come in and prices move, rather than rebuilding the plan once a year
Rework the plan quickly when the product trajectory shifts
4. Be the finance voice for the leadership team and the board
Produce a consistent board pack and the investor reporting that goes with it, and hold your own in the conversations it opens
Say where margin is actually made, down to individual contracts, and act on it through supplier contract reviews and longer client commitments
Run scenarios that give the leadership team the reading keys on strategic trade-offs, without blocking initiatives in a company that takes deliberate risks
5. Build the function
Manage the finance team (accounting and FP&A) and make each person autonomous on their scope
Keep the company fundraise ready, including the data room
You have built financial reporting yourself, close included, and can explain how the numbers are produced, not only what they say. Cash is something you steer, not only something you report.
You have worked in a business with real physical flows: inventory, purchasing, supply. You know what it takes to get reliable figures out of a chain that was never designed for reporting.
You have owned a budget and run the plan as a living model, reforecast against actual sales and moving prices rather than set once a year.
You take a position and hold it. You can say where margin is actually made, down to the contract, and defend that reading in front of a leadership team.
You know what good investor reporting looks like, and a financing conversation does not intimidate you.
You have been through scale-up growth, where processes change every few months, and you are hands on enough to lead that change yourself.
At Vizzia we care about precision, ownership, and getting things moving. This role is based in Paris.
