Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Are you the director of a VSE, SME, or Startup and are you caught up in day-to-day operations, without always having the time to structure your growth, manage your finances, or maximize your company's value?

After honing my skills in strategy at Bridgestone and Nestlé, two leaders in their respective sectors, I began my finance career as a corporate relationship manager at BNP Paribas.

I then moved within the BNP Paribas SmidCap M&A team, where I advised and analyzed hundreds of companies (€10m to €150m) in divestiture, fundraising, and acquisition operations. I made a simple observation:

"SME directors have the same needs for rigor and financial structuring—without always having the internal resources to meet them."

As a Financial and Development Consultant, **I intervene in 4 key areas**:

1. Strategic Audit, Budgets & Business Plans

Transform your vision into a quantified, credible, and actionable roadmap.

3-5 year development roadmap with monthly, quarterly, annual OKRs
Interactive Excel financial model (scenarios, inputs/outputs)
3-5 year projected P&L and balance sheet
Monthly cash flow forecast

2. Financial Reporting

Dashboards that truly drive your decisions.

Dashboard (Power BI, Management Tool)
Operational deck per BU (marketing, finance, sales, logistics)
Investor deck

3. Cash Management & Financing

Optimize your cash flow and secure your financing.

Cash management tools
Improvement of the balance sheet: financing, accounts receivable/payable

4. Capital Projects & External Growth

Divestiture, fundraising, acquisition: I manage the entire process.

Company structuring and valuation
Complete management of divestiture / fundraising
Target search, negotiation, post-acquisition support
