Description du poste

Wakam is a B2B2C digital insurer building white-label and embedded insurance solutions for 80+ partners across Europe. Active in 32 countries, we rely on a model where many key processes—underwriting, policy administration, claims and complaints management—are delegated to partners.

Because of this, control is a core activity at Wakam. We go beyond standard frameworks to ensure that our partners deliver the best possible service to our policyholders and that Wakam is fully in control of the risks and compliance obligations associated with delegated activities.

Within this context, the Finance team plays a central role by producing reliable, timely financial information and supporting our growth with robust accounting and reporting.

🚀 About the Team

You will join the Accounting, Consolidation & Reporting team within Wakam’s Finance Department.

The team is responsible for:

• Producing accurate financial information for internal and external stakeholders
• Supporting monthly, quarterly, and annual closings
• Contributing to consolidation and reporting for the Group

You will work closely with other internal stakeholders (HR, FP&A, etc.) in a dynamic, collaborative environment, and you’ll be supervised by the Head of Accounting, Consolidation & Reporting and supported by the rest of the team.

This role is offered as an apprenticeship (contrat d’alternance).

🎯 The Mission

As a Junior Accounting Apprentice, your mission is to support the smooth running of day‑to‑day accounting and contribute to the production of reliable financial information.

You will gradually gain exposure to the full accounting cycle, from basic entries to closing work, and develop a solid understanding of how a fast‑growing insurtech manages its financial data and reporting.

Under the supervision of your manager and in close collaboration with the team, you will contribute to the following activities. The level of autonomy will increase as you grow in the role.

1. Day‑to‑Day General Accounting

You will help with the day‑to‑day bookkeeping,:

• Entering, checking, and matching accounting entries
• Assisting with the fixed assets cycle (recording acquisitions and disposals, calculating depreciation, in line with internal procedures)

2. Review and Follow‑Up of Receivables and Payables

You will participate in managing the supplier cycle, including:

• Checking supplier data and invoices (amounts, analytical allocations, consistency with purchase orders/contracts)
• Analyzing and justifying supplier balances (matching items, identifying and resolving anomalies)

3. Expense Reports

You will take part in the professional expenses process:

• Checking the compliance of expense reports
• Entering and integrating expense reports into the accounting system
• Following up on employee reimbursements and contributing to the continuous improvement of the process

4. Support to Closing Activities

You will contribute to monthly, quarterly, and annual closings by:

• Preparing and posting cut‑off entries (accruals, prepaid expenses, provisions, etc.)
• Participating in the review and justification of accounts (matching, variance analysis, preparation of review files)
• Assisting with internal financial reporting and consolidation work (data collection, consistency checks, file updates)

Depending on the team’s priorities, you may also:

• Help optimise accounting tools and processes (automation, data quality)
• Contribute to updating documentation (procedures, operating guidelines)

Qualifications:

• You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field and are looking for an apprenticeship (alternance).
• You are comfortable with Excel and office tools and are keen to progress on them.
• You are rigorous, organised, and attentive to detail, with a strong sense of reliability.
• You have good interpersonal skills, enjoy working in a team, and can communicate clearly with different stakeholders.
• You are curious, engaged, and eager to learn, with a real interest in understanding the full accounting cycle and financial reporting.

AI and automation are increasingly part of our daily work in Finance and Accounting.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Open to using digital tools and AI assistants to make tasks more efficient (data checks, reconciliations, documentation, etc.)
• Interested in automating repetitive tasks and improving the way we handle data
• Curious about how technology can improve accuracy, speed, and analysis in accounting and reporting

You don’t need to be a technical expert. What matters most is your curiosity, adaptability, and willingness to learn. We’ll support you in developing these skills so you can grow in a modern, tech‑enabled finance environment.

What You Gain

• Join a fast‑growing European insurtech, at the heart of a Finance team that supports strong business growth.
• Gain end‑to‑end visibility on the accounting cycle and financial reporting in a real‑life, business‑focused context.
• Benefit from high autonomy and responsibility, adapted to your progression during the apprenticeship.
• Work in a modern, innovative environment, with evolving tools and processes, and a strong focus on continuous improvement.
• Be part of an international, mission‑driven company, committed to building transparent, impactful insurance.

Our recruitment process for apprentices is designed to be clear and supportive:

• Interview with our Talent Acquisition Partner – to understand your academic background, motivations for joining Wakam, and your fit with the role.
• Interview with the General Accounting Team Lead – to dive deeper into your accounting knowledge (at your level of studies), your way of working, and how you could contribute to the team.

📩 If you’re excited about this Apprenticeship we’d love to meet you.

At Wakam, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please feel free to reach out to your recruiter.
