Role Summary As our IFRS Specialist, you will play a key role in Mistral AI’s transition to IFRS, working closely with the IFRS Lead to apply technical expertise, ensure compliance, and collaborate with auditors and cross-functional teams. You will contribute to the IFRS transition by analyzing complex transactions, maintaining policies, and supporting the implementation of scalable financial processes for our global entities. This is an ideal opportunity for an IFRS expert to dive deep into technical challenges while gaining exposure to high-impact projects in a hypergrowth environment. What you will do • IFRS Transition & Policy Development: Proactively assess and document accounting treatments for complex transactions, ensuring alignment with IFRS standards and Mistral AI’s transition from French GAAP. Develop and maintain up-to-date IFRS policies (Accounting Manual) to guide global entities. • Quarterly Compliance & Reporting: Review and validate the accounting treatment of closed transactions at each quarter-end, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and consistency across all entities. Prepare supporting documentation for auditors and internal stakeholders. • Issue Identification & Escalation: Identify and escalate IFRS-related risks or gaps in financial processes or transactions, reporting findings to the IFRS Lead and cross-functional teams (Finance, Legal, FP&A) with actionable recommendations. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Sales, Legal, and Finance teams to provide IFRS guidance on high-stakes deals, contracts, or structural changes, ensuring optimal outcomes while adhering to regulatory requirements. • Adjustment & Correction Requests: Prepare and submit accounting adjustment requests (journal entries, reclassifications) to align financial records with IFRS, coordinating closely with the Accounting team. • Financial Reporting & Analysis: Compile and analyze IFRS-compliant reporting (notes, disclosures, reconciliations) for internal and external stakeholders, including auditors and the Board. • Process Improvement & Automation: Contribute to projects aimed at enhancing IFRS controls, automating manual processes, and embedding best practices into Mistral AI’s financial workflows. Who you are: • Technical IFRS Expert: You bring a strong background in IFRS, with experience in audit/advisory firms (Big 4, mid-tier) and in-house finance roles (tech, SaaS, or high-growth environments preferred). You’re comfortable interpreting complex accounting standards, drafting position papers, and ensuring compliance in fast-paced settings. • Problem Solver & Process Builder: Analytical and detail-oriented, you thrive in dynamic environments by turning intricate IFRS challenges into clear, scalable processes. Your approach is hands-on, pragmatic, and focused on continuous improvement—balancing rigor with adaptability. • Collaborative Business Partner: A clear communicator, you simplify technical IFRS concepts for non-finance stakeholders (Sales, Legal, FP&A) and build trust through cross-functional collaboration. Your ability to bridge gaps between teams makes you a go-to resource for high-stakes decisions. • Tech-Savvy & Tool-Fluent: Proficient with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, NetSuite) and financial tools, you know how to leverage technology to streamline workflows and enhance accuracy. Your expertise spans French GAAP to IFRS transitions, complex transactions, and financial reporting. • Proactive & Growth-Minded: You take ownership of your projects, anticipate risks, and drive results with a low-ego, team-spirited mindset. Your curiosity and rigor make you a key player in Mistral AI’s financial transformation.
