About Céline

Do you spend your evenings on administrative tasks instead of your real job? That's exactly what I take over.

I handle, remotely, everything that takes you away from your core business:
  • Administration: invoicing, quotes, overdue payment reminders, client follow-up, organization, dashboards.
  • Accounting preparation: collection and filing of your supporting documents, tracking your income and expenses, bank reconciliations, file ready to be sent to your accountant.
  • In French as well as in German, without intermediaries or approximate translations.
You get a solid back-office and a single point of contact who speaks both your languages. I complement your accountant, I don't replace them: bookkeeping, tax declarations, and account closing remain with them.

Who I work for:liberal professions (health, legal), coaches and trainers, VSEs/SMEs. Especially those who work on both sides of the Rhine (France and DACH region).

What sets me apart:I was born and raised in Munich to French parents. Bilingual FR/DE from birth, fluent English, and 9 years of accounting experience. For you, this means meticulously managed files and smooth communication on both sides of the Rhine.

German rigor, French warmth. Anticipated file management on the German side, a smile in the email on the French side.

Tools:Pennylane, Tiime, Abby, Indy, QuickBooks, Excel, Google Workspace, Notion, ...

Rates:one-off projects or monthly packages, depending on your volume. Shall we schedule a 15-minute call to see what I can take off your hands starting this week?
