About François

Looking for financial, accounting, and/or administrative support?

With nearly 10 years of experience as a Chief Financial Officer in both large corporations and startups, I leverage my expertise to support you with responsiveness and professionalism. I love numbers and have trained (and continue to train) in Data Science to further enhance my analyses and assert my position as a "Business Partner".

▶️ What I do:
• Part-time CFO/Financial Controller
• Treasury supervision and management
• Business Plan and Pitch Deck creation or review
• Recurring reporting or setup of reporting
• Budget creation and financial & fiscal structure optimization
• Accounting/tax monitoring and organization
• Excel/Sheet creation or review, particularly for obtaining loans/grants
• Financial modeling and Data Analysis
• etc...

▶️ My experience:
I was CFO of a subsidiary of a large French group (SBF 120) and am currently a Financial Controller/CFO in startups. For nearly 10 years, I have been helping various individuals with their financial issues, whether on large scopes or for company launch phases (BP, obtaining initial financing, Business Model, etc.).

▶️ How I work:
First, I propose an exchange to understand your problem (often less complex than it seems) in order to offer you a tailored solution at the right price.
