About the role

Supplier/Bank Details (RIB): Create and verify supplier records and bank details, limited to preparation and document control.
Treasury: Categorise bank transactions in Odoo ; perform bank reconciliations for the French entities.
Candidate Requirements
As a student transitioning from BTS to DCG, you are pursuing a degree (university, business school, or engineering school) with a focus on Finance, Control, Audit, or Accounting.
Experience with Odoo is a plus (internal training provided).
Rigor and adherence to control procedures are essential, especially in a multi-entity environment with a sensitive payment cycle.
Professional proficiency in English is required, including reading, writing, and group communication.

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