About Christelle

I have 10 years of experience in corporate finance, both in consulting firms (Big Four) and in companies (Startups and Mid-sized companies). During my years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work on statutory audit, post-acquisition integration, M&A and Corporate Development, and strategy assignments both in France and abroad (United States, Tunisia, Cameroon, Guinea, DR-Congo, and Ghana).

I particularly assist startups and entrepreneurs in defining their projects and building their business plans. I am now able to assist you in the following areas:

• Creation of financial business plans and monthly projections for fundraising or for management control purposes

• Creation of pitch decks for seeking investments or external financing. I can help you structure your offer to make it attractive and consistent with the expectations of potential investors. I can also advise you on the envisaged structure and draft the documentation presenting your business model, your market, and your value creation.

• In-depth financial analysis of your business to identify sources of performance or underperformance, and thus help you implement relevant management reporting and monitoring tools and improve cash flow monitoring.

• Support in your acquisition projects, from feasibility study to contact, meeting with management, analysis of the target's financial statements and its valuation.


If you are still unsure about the profile your company needs, do not hesitate to share your objectives with me, and I will be happy to guide you.

See you soon!
