WHY IS THIS ROLE IMPORTANT FOR PENNYLANE? Pennylane is creating Pennylane Financial Services (PFS), a subsidiary seeking ACPR authorisation as a payment institution and financing company, to serve its 1.6 million SMB customers base. 1. This is a 0-to-1 role: you will lay the foundations of PFS’s accounting model, controls and reporting as the business is built. 2. You ensure the reliability of PFS’s financial information, from product events and accounting entries through to financial and prudential reporting. 3. You check daily that client funds are safeguarded and that PFS meets its own funds requirements and applicable prudential ratios. You flag risks early and help the Head of Finance anticipate capital needs. You report to Maxime Leclercq, GM PFS, and functionally to @Raphaël Nahum, Head of Finance, on accounting standards and methods aligned with group finance. HOW WILL YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT? You build from scratch the accounting model and controls with Product and Tech, then run daily accounting until volumes justify a dedicated operator. You own the figures and accounting decisions, and prepare the accounting-based prudential reports. You collaborate with our Regulatory Lead, who oversees reporting deadlines, completeness and reviews, the reports before submission. You would be a great fit if: - You can work with incomplete information and make decisions, assumptions and open questions clear. - You document accounting decisions and are able to defend them internally and externally, including to statutory auditors and the ACPR. WHAT WILL YOUR DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES BE? Build - Design and test payment and financing accounting schemes in the Core Banking System, the accounting interpreter, working closely with Product and Tech teams -
