Accounting & Tax Director

ANINE BING is looking for an Accounting & Tax Director to join our Finance team based in Paris.

This role is an opportunity to help shape the next chapter of ANINE BING. As a key contributor within our Paris HQ team, the Accounting & Tax Director brings both strategic insight and hands-on execution to their work — supporting our global growth while staying grounded in the brand's DNA: refined, fast-moving, and always evolving.

We're looking for a senior, hands-on finance leader who thrives in a creative yet performance-driven environment. The ideal candidate combines deep technical accounting and tax expertise with a clear sense of the bigger picture, a strong project management mindset, and a genuine sensitivity to Finance × IT topics (ERP, automation, cross-functional initiatives). They are structured, business-minded, and energized by building scalable internal foundations across a multi-entity, international footprint.

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Accounting & Tax Director leads global accounting and tax operations across our directly-managed entities — France, the United Kingdom, the United States and other EU markets — and oversees the partnership with our external advisor in China. A key part of the mission is to build, lead and develop a strong internal accounting team and bring core finance processes in-house as the company scales. The role is expected to operate as a true business partner to all operational departments, not as a back-office function.

This is a hybrid position based at our Paris HQ, with one remote day per week (Wednesday or Friday). The role reports to the CFO.

Responsibilities Include:

• Own the global accounting close (monthly, quarterly, annual) across France, the UK, the US and other EU entities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness and compliance with local GAAP and applicable international standards.
• Define and maintain the Group's accounting policies, internal controls and chart of accounts; lead consolidation, intercompany reconciliations and harmonization across entities.
• Oversee all corporate tax matters — corporate income tax, VAT, transfer pricing, withholding tax and international tax structuring — in close coordination with external counsel on cross-border topics.
• Manage statutory audits and annual filings across all jurisdictions; serve as the main interface with external auditors, local tax authorities and our China-based advisor.
• Build and lead a high-performing internal accounting team (Accounting Manager, Credit Manager, accountants) and drive the gradual in-housing of accounting and tax processes currently handled by external providers.
• Lead Finance × IT initiatives end-to-end: AP automation, ERP structuring and improvements, and other cross-functional transformation projects supporting the scaling of the finance organization.
• Partner with the CFO and the Head of Finance on cash management, treasury operations, banking relationships and financial reporting to leadership and shareholders.
• Act as a true business partner to operational departments, providing clear, actionable financial guidance and fostering trust-based relationships across the organization.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in accounting and tax, including time in a Big 4 audit firm and at least one in-house leadership role in a multi-entity, international environment.
• Senior profile with a strong hands-on mindset: comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels, ready to dive into the detail when needed.
• Strong technical command of French GAAP and US GAAP; working knowledge of IFRS. Consolidated reporting experience required.
• Demonstrated experience building or restructuring internal accounting teams, including in-housing processes previously outsourced.
• Proven project management mindset and Finance × IT sensitivity: track record of leading ERP, automation or finance transformation initiatives in close partnership with technical teams.
• Solid corporate tax expertise, including transfer pricing and cross-border structuring in a multi-country setup.
• Genuine business partner mindset, with the ability to engage and collaborate effectively with all operational departments.
• Experience in retail, fashion, e-commerce or consumer goods is a strong plus.
• Fluent English required; French is a strong asset. Comfortable operating across time zones with a US-based leadership team.

• HQ FRANCE: At ANINE BING Paris, we combine creative ambition with a people-first culture. Expect generous time off (including RTT), a hybrid schedule with one remote day per week, exclusive discounts on our collections, and private sales access — so you can live the brand as much as you build it.
• Style Perks: Enjoy a generous employee discount and seasonal wardrobe allotments — so you can live the brand, not just represent it.
