Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support leaders of growing SMEs (online training, retail, services) who generate revenue but lack clarity on their performance, cash flow, and priorities.

As a former senior management controller, I now act as an outsourced CFO and sparring partner for the leader, transforming finance and data into decision-making tools, not just reporting.

My role is not to produce spreadsheets, but to help you:

- Truly understand where you are making (or losing) money,

- Manage your business with simple and useful indicators,

- Structure processes adapted to your on-the-ground reality,

- Reduce the mental load associated with management,

- Make faster and more confident decisions.

My areas of intervention:

- P&L structuring and analysis

- Budgeting, forecasting, and financing plans

- Short and medium-term cash flow monitoring

- KPI definition and management dashboards

- Financial and cross-functional process optimization

- Implementation of adapted tools (Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, market tools) or automation when they provide real gains

My working method:

- I provide structured support with a predefined scope and deliverables.

I offer a free initial discovery call to discuss your needs.
