Do you have unpaid invoices piling up, strained cash flow, a spiraling DSO?
I help SMEs, mid-sized companies, and growing businesses recover their cash, secure their collections, and structure their collection process without damaging customer relationships.
With over 15 years of experience in B2B collections, credit management, and accounts receivable management, I handle both urgent situations (late payments, bad debts, cash flow blockages) and structuring projects aimed at sustainably improving the company's financial performance.
What sets me apart: I don't just chase invoices. I analyze the entire Order-to-Cash cycle to identify the root causes of late payments: invoicing, disputes, internal processes, organization, communication between sales, customer service, accounting, and management teams.
I specialize in:
✔ Amicable and pre-litigation debt collection
✔ DSO reduction and cash flow improvement
✔ Management and resolution of customer disputes
✔ Implementation of customer collection strategies
✔ Accounts receivable optimization
✔ Structuring or creation of a collection process
✔ Cash flow forecasting and treasury management
✔ Collection ERP integration or migration
Deliverables and frequent missions:
• Audit of the entire accounts receivable and overdue debt
• Collection and DSO reduction action plan
• Collection process and procedures
• Dashboards and cash KPIs (DSO, collection rate, aging balance, overdue rate...)
• Cash flow forecasts and treasury monitoring
• Management of strategic customer portfolios
• Coordination with lawyers, bailiffs, factors, and credit insurers
My objective is simple: to structure your accounts receivable, anticipate and improve your financial visibility and decisions. This allows you and your teams to focus on developing your core business.

Experience
- DELINOTTEFREELANCE FINANCEMEDICALJune 2026 - Today (1 month)Paris, FranceStructuring mission for an orthopedic SAS specialized in two Parisian stores, as part of a judicial recovery procedure initiated in the first year of activity.I handled the entire financial diagnosis by analyzing several bank accounts over more than 16 months of statements, allowing for the reconstruction of a consolidated and reliable view of actual third-party payments, fixed charges, where no global visibility existed prior to the opening of the procedure.On this basis, I built a 16-month cash flow forecast, designed to meet the requirements of a judicial administrator: rigorous distinction between actual data and estimates, integration of all accounts, and monthly monitoring of the consolidated balance.In parallel, I conducted an in-depth analysis of fixed charges and structured the recovery levers: renegotiation of commercial leases, reduction of payroll, optimization of insurance contracts, and recovery of customer debts, all quantified and prioritized in a continuation plan.The mission was conducted with a dual requirement: education for a director who was an expert in their field but without financial training, without clear management and with an unmotivated team, plus total documentary rigor for judicial and banking use.Results:Reconstruction of 16 months of financial flows across several bank accounts16-month cash flow forecast delivered and updated (15 versions)Identification of over €11,000/month in restructurable fixed chargesModeling and projection of consolidated monthly revenueQuantified, prioritized, and documented continuation plan for the judicial administratorFinancial and legal file structured for the recovery procedure
- ASAP TTACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE MANAGERCIVIL ENGINEERINGMay 2025 - August 2025 (3 months)Paris, FranceMission carried out in a context of high cash flow pressure with over €7 million in customer receivables, blocking disputes, an unstructured collection process, and factoring impacted by portfolio quality.I led the collection strategy for key accounts by implementing debt prioritization, customer portfolio segmentation, and action plans adapted to identified risks. This approach clarified blocking points and accelerated collections.Beyond operational collections, I structured the entire accounts receivable management process by building and optimizing collection scenarios, operating procedures, and monitoring tools to make collections more efficient, repeatable, and measurable.I also managed sensitive files and high-risk debts by negotiating and proposing payment schedules.Convinced that collections cannot solely rely on the finance function, I developed a true cash culture by working closely with sales, invoicing, accounting, customer service, management teams, and financial partners to reduce blockages, accelerate decision-making, and sustainably improve working capital requirements.Finally, I oversaw the integration of Hoopiz, a collection tool, to enable management to track key indicators: aging balance, DSO, overdue rate, collection rate, cash flow forecasts, and risk identification.Results achieved:• Over €1 million collected in 45 days• Restructured the invoicing process (portal, electronic invoicing...)• €3 million collected in one month, then €3.4 million the following month• Secured strategic receivables• Improved cash flow visibility and customer portfolio quality• Strengthened collaboration between teams around common cash objectives

The goal was to transform isolated actions into a clear, repeatable, and manageable process.To improve financial visibility, I implemented cash flow forecasts and regular landing reports, allowing management to anticipate cash flows and identify risks.As the functional referent for Eloficash, I supported the optimization of the tool and its migration to a SaaS environment.

I implemented a resolution-oriented approach aimed at identifying root causes of blockages, coordinating actions between different departments, and implementing sustainable solutions. This approach helped understand the reasons for blockages and reduce their recurrence.To strengthen collective commitment around cash flow, I organized quarterly "Cash Days" bringing together sales, administrative, financial, and management teams. These events accelerated collections, processed strategic files, and disseminated a true cash culture within the company.Key achievements:• Structuring of the collection department• Implementation of cash flow forecasting and landing reports• Eloficash functional referent and support for SaaS migration• Reduction of blockages related to customer disputes• Organization of cross-functional Cash Days
