At Vibe.co, we’re shaping the future of advertising by helping brands connect with audiences in more human, data-driven, and measurable ways. Our platform brings together creativity, technology, and automation to make ad experiences more relevant, efficient, and impactful — across every screen, including CTV.

We’re growing fast—our goal is to 2.5x revenue in 2026. We’re a small, high-performing team that values clarity, speed, and execution. We move quickly, experiment relentlessly, and take pride in content that doesn’t just inform — it converts.

Your Mission

As Group Financial Controller, you’ll be part of the Finance organization, having full ownership of Accounting and Treasury landscape across our US and French entities. Your job: make sure our books are airtight, our cash is always under control, and our actuals are so reliable that the CFO and FP&A can move fast with confidence.

You’ll have end-to-end ownership of the month‑end close, accounting policies, intercompany flows, and cash routines, working closely with FP&A, Accountants and external accounting firms. You’re the person who turns moving parts into a coherent system and makes sure everyone trusts the numbers.

This role is perfect for someone who wants real responsibility and visibility: you’ll be the go‑to finance partner for “what really happened,” shaping the backbone of our financial statements, reporting and cash management as we scale an international startup.

What you will do

Own and run the monthly close for our US and French entities, with a clear calendar and checklist.
Coordinate and challenge our external accounting firms (US & FR) to ensure accurate and timely books.
Define, document, and enforce accounting policies (revenue recognition, capex, one‑offs, FX, etc.).
Set intercompany policies, making sure US and FR balances match.
Produce a monthly actuals pack (P&L by entity and Group, by function/cost center) ready for FP&A analysis.
Perform first‑level variance analysis, highlighting and explaining the main movements in actuals.
Lead cash reporting and short‑term cash forecasting, providing a consolidated Group cash view.
Standardize payment processes and approval workflows, ensuring proper segregation of duties.
Monitor working capital (AP/AR aging, key suppliers, prepayments) and support day‑to‑day treasury operations.
Implement pragmatic internal controls and process documentation, and help improve our finance tools stack.
Manage External Audit

You’d be a great fit if you have:

6–10+ years of experience in accounting/audit and controlling/reporting, ideally in a scale‑up or international environment.
Strong knowledge of accounting standards (US GAAP and/or IFRS; French GAAP exposure is a plus).
Hands‑on experience with multi‑entity setups and intercompany flows; comfortable coordinating external firms.
Very strong Excel/Sheets skills; familiarity with ERPs, reporting, or consolidation tools is a plus.
Process‑oriented, detail‑focused, and comfortable building structure from scratch in a fast‑growing startup.
Excellent communication skills in English; French is a strong plus.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) plan with company matching
Unlimited PTO to recharge and reset
Paid parental leave for maternity and paternity
Flexible hybrid work model- we’re based in NYC’s Flatiron District and looking for someone excited to spend time in our new office
Compensation for this role varies based on experience, skill set, and leveling. The estimated base salary range is $160,000–$200,000, plus bonus. Candidates with varying levels of experience are encouraged to apply.
