Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Is your finance team under pressure? Are you facing a merger, acquisition, unexpected absence, or workload surge?

I provide operational reinforcement to financial departments to secure closings, ensure consolidation reliability, and support sensitive transformation periods.

With over 20 years of experience in consolidation, financial reporting, IFRS standards, cash flow, working capital, and budget management, I assist companies with a simple objective: to bring continuity, reliability, and efficiency to their financial operations.

**My areas of intervention**:

Consolidation of accounts: ad-hoc reinforcement or outsourcing, production and review of consolidated IFRS accounts, analysis of statements, variance control, and group reporting reliability.
Support during acquisitions, divestitures, or restructurings: integration of entities, harmonization of accounting practices, data security, and reporting continuity.
Finance and tools transformation: process improvement, data structuring, support for the implementation or evolution of consolidation and reporting tools (SAP, HFM, or others).

Types of assignments:

monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual closings, financial and balance sheet analyses, cash flow and working capital monitoring, budget monitoring, process redesign, team support, and practice structuring.

Deliverables and possible support:

analysis of the existing situation, identification of areas of concern, definition of an adapted operating procedure with the teams, operational reinforcement, formalization of processes and support materials, monthly follow-up meetings, and operational analyses and recommendations.

I intervene flexibly and adaptably, for a few days, during peak activity, or as part of regular part-time support.
