About the role:

As part of the Group Finance Department, reporting to the Head of Accounting, you will take full ownership of the Record-to-Report (R2R) cycle across one or several international entities.

The role is designed around a logic of accounting quality, regulatory compliance, and IFRS/local GAAP convergence, with a clear trajectory: securing the Moroccan entity first, then progressively extending to a broader multi-entity international scope covering entities such as the Swiss subsidiary and other European entities.

You will act as the focal point between local entities, external advisors (accounting firms, tax consultants), and Group Finance teams, ensuring that each entity produces compliant, timely, and reliable financial information within the Unit4 ERP environment. Professional-level English is essential, as most Group interactions, reporting, and documentation are conducted in English.
