Résumé du poste

Vizzia is seeking a Head of Finance to own the finance function end to end from the monthly close to profitability read across the contract portfolio. Based in Paris, you will build the data plumbing to feed reporting automatically from inventory and CRM systems while maintaining a five-day close.

You will implement live forecasting, scenario planning, and fundraising readiness as the business grows, with hands-on leadership of the finance team and cross-functional collaboration.

Qualifications

• Experience producing financial reporting including close cycles and explaining numbers
• Experience with physical flows: inventory, purchasing, and supply to obtain reliable figures
• Ability to run a live business plan with reforecasting against actuals and price movements
• Ability to assess portfolio profitability and defend readings to leadership
• Experience leading finance teams and driving process changes in scaling organisations

Responsabilités

• Close the month on a fixed calendar
• Produce P&L and cash position within five working days of month end
• Own the monthly close and maintain a predictable calendar
• Build the data chain behind the numbers
• Link inventory and CRM data to reporting so figures arrive automatically
• Set up reporting and modelling foundations for strategic decisions
• Keep the business plan live and reforecast as sales and prices change
• Rework the plan quickly when product trajectories shift
• Own the profitability read across portfolios and contracts
• Develop contract-level profitability views across hardware, stock and deployment costs
• Advise leadership on which contracts to push based on data
• Review supplier contracts and guide clients toward longer commitments
• Build the finance function and enable team autonomy
• Run scenarios to support strategic trade-offs without slowing initiatives
• Keep the company fundraising data room ready

Description du poste

Context

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.

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 business plan, and the profitability read across the contract portfolio. 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 Do

• Close the month on a fixed calendar
• 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
• 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
• Keep the business plan live
• 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
• Own the profitability read
• Build a contract level view of profitability across the portfolio, covering hardware, stock and deployment costs
• Tell the leadership team which contracts are worth pushing and which are not, and back it with numbers
• Review supplier contracts and push client contracts toward longer commitments
• Build the function and support the leadership team
• Manage the finance team (accounting and FP&A) and make each person autonomous on their scope
• Run scenarios that give the leadership team the reading keys on strategic trade-offs, without blocking initiatives in a company that takes deliberate risks
• Keep the company fundraise ready, including the data room

Who You Are

• You have built financial reporting yourself, close included, and can explain how the numbers are produced, not only what they say.
• 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 run a business plan as a living model, reforecast against actual sales and moving prices rather than set once a year.
• You take a position on profitability. You can look at a portfolio of contracts and say which ones make money, and defend that reading at leadership level.
• You have been through scale-up growth, where processes change every few months and you lead the change rather than wait for things to settle.
• You are hands on and you move fast. A lot of the finance infrastructure here is still to build.

At Vizzia we care about precision, ownership, and getting things moving. This role is based in Paris.

Compensation & Benefits

• Hybrid work
• Contrat cadre and RTT (between 8 and 12 days per year depending on public holidays)
• A Mac or PC depending on your preferences
• BSPCE
• 60% coverage of meal vouchers worth €9 per worked day
• Sustainable mobility allowance
• Mutuelle (Alan)
• Offices located in central Paris (9th arrondissement)
• Annual offsite with the whole team and plenty of company events
