Lots of flush-cut hand saws around, similar to the back-saws for
a miter box. Never used one but I've seen flush-cut jigsaws,
too. They also make an offset blade for jigsaws that'll flush
cut - if they fit your saw.
Time to surf the local suppliers.

Didn't say which way the cut is in relation to orientation of flooring
nor what is the end objective/need for cut so can't comment much on
exact solution.

However, removing baseboard should allow to get close enough to wall w/
above suggestions to hide the joint under the baseboard when replaced.
Adding a shoe mould when done is another trick.
