Job description
At Wakam, we are rapidly expanding our operations in the UK, and we're looking for a Head of Accounting & Tax to join our dynamic team. Our company is not your typical insurance organization; we're a tech-driven, innovative company that values performance, agility, and rapid execution. With a challenging workload and a great working atmosphere, we're on a mission to build a robust Finance department in the UK. This role comes with significant flexibility and the opportunity for remote work, making it an excellent fit for those who thrive in a fast-paced environment. Key Responsibilities: Establish Financial Operations in the UK: In this role, you will play a crucial part in setting up and structuring the finance activities in the UK, in alignment with what is being done at our Head Office in France. Process Enhancement: Work on designing, streamlining and enhancing financial processes, while ensuring a smooth integration of the UK accounting function with the Head Office. This includes working closely with the teams in France and aligning with the UK's development strategy and regulatory requirements. Design the organization of the operating model with the Head Office. Produce regulatory closings on a quarterly basis under the UK Gaap & French Gaap. Production of Reports: Produce financial reports that support the Head Office while maintaining and improving the reporting processes. This includes a deep understanding of reporting issues with local authority. Monitoring the UK Financial Performance: Assist in giving visibility about our UK financial performance from an accounting point of view. Direct Reporting: Report directly to the CFO UK and collaborate with the Head Office in a matrix, cross-functional structure.

Accounting expertise: strong accounting expertise is necessary for this role. Familiarity with the insurance sector is a plus but can be developed on the job. Attitude and Soft Skills: able to work cross-functionally, with strong reporting acumen, and in-depth knowledge of financial regulations. Being highly detail-oriented and meticulous in accounting practices is essential. Rigorous and Constructive: high degree of rigor and able to design a target operating model for running operations.
