About Caroline

Part-time CFO with executive and co-founder experience, I intervene in high-stakes financial situations (cash, growth, restructuring, financing).

As a true right-hand to the executive, I secure strategic decisions and translate them into concrete, manageable, and monitored financial and operational priorities with the executive.

I support the entire Management team, enabling them to engage in dialogue with a trusted person, clarify their long-term vision, and translate it into a concrete business plan.

I ideally work with SMEs or scale-ups facing structural challenges:
 Rapid growth or scaling
 Structuring or transformation of the finance department
 Cash flow tensions or fine-tuning
 Preparation of strategic operations (financing, fundraising, divestment, due diligence)

This type of intervention is particularly suitable when the executive seeks a trusted partner, capable of addressing both financial and operational dimensions, without multiplying contacts.

I would be delighted to assist you for a few days a week on a long-term basis or full-time on a one-off/emergency basis.
