At Sénik, the event agency, and Champagne Event (We’ll just say Sénik from now on), being a controller doesn’t mean spending your days alone in front of spreadsheets. We’re looking for someone who wants to dive into the fast-paced financial world of an agency while being an integral part of a passionate, fun and unconventional team (let’s just say, we don’t go unnoticed).
As a controller at Sénik, you’ll play a central role: overseeing all accounting and financial operations, ensuring data reliability, and guiding the company’s strategic decisions. From daily cash management to building the annual budget, analyzing project profitability, and ensuring compliance with accounting and tax requirements, your scope will be as varied as it will be exciting.
If you have at least 5 years of experience, are a master of QuickBooks Online, and secretly dream of a workplace where fun, creativity, and financial rigor go hand in hand, we’re eager to see your application!
Attention, number lovers—get ready to swap routine for an extraordinary accounting adventure!
