Job description

ABOUT US

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

About the role

Harmattan AI operates a group of nine entities across France, Switzerland, the US, UK, UAE, and Morocco.

As we continue to expand, the volume and complexity of intercompany transactions, including cost recharges, management fees, and stock recharges, are increasing significantly across all jurisdictions.

We are seeking an Intercompany Accountant to serve as the operational backbone of our group consolidation. While the accounting team manages daily bookkeeping, this individual will ensure that all intercompany transactions are tracked, invoiced, and reconciled each month for elimination purposes, guaranteeing our consolidated financials remain accurate, timely, and audit-ready.

Responsibilities

Intercompany Reconciliation & Reporting

  • Design and run the monthly IC reconciliation process across all 9 group entities, ensuring every intercompany balance is matched, justified and closed before the group reporting deadline
  • Prepare the IC elimination entries for consolidation and maintain a full audit trail of all intercompany movements

Intragroup Invoicing & Flow Management

  • Manage the end-to-end intragroup invoicing cycle: management fees, cost recharges and stock recharges between entities
  • Ensure all flows are properly documented, consistently applied and aligned with the group's intercompany agreements

Transfer Pricing & Process Automation

  • Contribute to the operational transfer pricing framework in close coordination with the Group Accounting Director, ensuring that intragroup transactions are priced, invoiced and booked in line with the group's TP policy
  • Drive the automation of IC reconciliations and intragroup invoicing workflows within Odoo, reducing manual tasks and improving the reliability and speed of the monthly close

Subsidiary Bookkeeping (transitional)

  • Transitionally cover the bookkeeping of certain foreign subsidiaries (US, UK, UAE, Morocco) pending the hire of local Finance Managers, ensuring continuity and compliance with local requirements

Candidate Requirements

  • 4 to 6 years of accounting experience, with significant exposure to intercompany transactions and multi-entity environments
  • Experience working in an international group or at an audit/accounting firm managing multi-entity engagements
  • Background in an industrial setting is a plus (e.g., inventory flows, CAPEX, WIP)
  • Familiarity with Odoo or similar ERP systems is appreciated
  • Strong expertise in intercompany reconciliations and consolidation elimination mechanics
  • Good knowledge of French GAAP; familiarity with US GAAP or IFRS is a plus
  • Understanding of operational transfer pricing (management fees, cost recharges)
  • Proficiency in Excel and reconciliation tools; comfortable working with large data volumes
  • Knowledge of VAT regulations for intragroup and cross-border transactions is a plus
  • Rigorous, autonomous, detail-oriented, and proactive
  • Process and automation-oriented
  • Strong communicator; fluent English is mandatory

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
