Accounting & closings

Financing

• Build the budgets behind grant applications, and handle cost justification, reporting and audits once funding is secured

Governance & reporting

• Support the preparation of our board materials: financial packs, KPI dashboards, budget-versus-actual analysis, and the supporting narrative

• Support the recurring investor reporting cycle and ad hoc requests

• Maintain our data room and internal reporting infrastructure

• Help us put in place and run the governance routines the company needs

Corporate

• Coordinate with our corporate lawyers on board and shareholder resolutions, share issuances, cap table and BSPCE plan administration
