🌱 Overview

Ready to work at the side of our Head of Finance and get real exposure to how a fast-growing scale-up runs its financial operations? As our Finance Operations Intern, you'll be far more than support staff — you'll be a trusted right hand, embedded in billing, collections, and financial reporting, with direct visibility into decisions that shape the business. This role is designed for someone who wants far more than "intern experience" — it's a launchpad into high-level finance.

  • Partner directly with the Head of Finance on strategic billing and collections priorities

  • Own the monitoring of outstanding receivables and drive cash collection procedures to minimize risk

  • Lead the preparation and issuance of customer invoices

  • Identify and implement process optimizations to accelerate cash collection

  • Manage client follow-up on unpaid invoices and resolve discrepancies with autonomy

  • Maintain accurate billing records and keep customer account data audit-ready

  • Prepare high-visibility reports, including aging reports and account reconciliations

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with the finance team on strategic and administrative projects

🌱 Skills to succeed

  • Currently pursuing or holding a Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business Administration

  • Prior experience (internship, apprenticeship, or academic project) in finance, accounting, or a related field

  • Strong grasp of billing and accounting principles

  • Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel

  • Excellent organizational and communication skills

  • Fully bilingual in English and French (written and spoken) — you'll work daily in both

🌱 Perks & benefits

  • 💰 Salary: €1.200 per month

  • 📍 Beautiful offices in the heart of Paris (9ᵉ arrondissement)

  • ⚒️ Top-notch tools to help you do your best work

  • 🚅 50% Navigo reimbursement for public transport

  • 🥗 Sustainable lunch vouchers via Ekip

Please note that this is a full-time 6-month internship.

🌱 The recruitment process 

  • Meet our Team member Shamishtha for an introduction to the role

  • Prepare and present a case study exercise

  • Final chat with Joan, our Head of Finance

  • Provide us with a reference to complete the recruitment process

  • We welcome you during our onboarding week! 🥳

We’re a team shaped by diverse experiences and ideas. If you’re excited about the role but don’t match every requirement, we still encourage you to apply — you may be the right person for the team. 🙏

ℹ️ For practical reasons, we request candidates to communicate as much as possible via the Teamtailor platform (rather than on LinkedIn, or other channels)
